Nice place to stay
This is an older motel, but well-maintained. Extremely nice proprietor. Convenient to Carthage and Nauvoo. Very quiet at night. Mattress seemed somewhat bouncy, but comfortable for sleeping. Half the price of other nearby motels. Stayed two nights and would definitely stay again if in the area.

We stayed at the PW for a place to stay for three nights while visiting family in the area. It was a great room for a good nights sleep and shower. The room was very quiet. The bed was comfortable. The decor is outdated; however, you cares because you cannot beat the price of the room. The owner was very welcoming. Our regular routine was to leave in the morning and return at night. My suggestion would be to install a large pole light or large lighted sign at the turn off the highway as it was very hard to see the turn at night. We will stay again.

Worth it.
Clean and accommodating, though old and outdated. The attendant/clerk didn’t speak much English, but was very kind and eager to meet our needs. The beds were okay—honestly, most rented beds are just “okay”, so it’s definitely worth it cause dang did other places cost so much more.

We stayed for 3 nights. Was a very nice place. Very comfortable. The only thing I did not like us the owner kept showing up at our door and would not knock he would just try to get in. Luckily I kept our screen door locked but still with four ladies in the room I did not think it was appropriate.

The room was really clean with vintage decor from the early 80’s. The bed was comfortable and linens were soft and clean. Also the price was excellent. It’s a classic motor hotel.
