Stayed here several times while visiting family and always clean with friendly staff. We recently stayed in Room #22 and although it was nice and clean, it had a distinct odor of something like mildew (wife said spoiled milk and thought it was from the pillows)...so not really sure exactly what it was. Wish they had a small coffee pot and coffee pods also so we didn't have to leave the room immediately after waking up.
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022
Response from Andrew on Sep 15, 2022
Thank you so much for your business!! I do appreciate it!! As to the smell of the pillow, I do know the pillows in Room 20-25 were brand new the week of your stay, so I'm at a loss for that smell. I originally purchased 25 coffee pots for 21 rooms, I now have 1, yes, just 1 left. The others were stolen or ruined by people cooking food in the coffee pots, so I decided to stop dealing with that nonsense. The restaurant opens at 8 on the weekends, people can get coffee there, or drive 1 block to McDonald's for coffee. Sure, that is not so handy, but again, if you were in my shoes, you'd understand better the frustration of coffee pots coming up missing and having food cooked in them.

I needed a quiet place to sleep and the area appears to be safe, no issues while I was there. The toilet needs to be fix as it runs after flushing, so you need to take of the lid and pull up the float.

Linda, thank you so much for your business, I really do appreciate it. As to the restaurant, their hours are, Monday through Friday, 11AM to 8PM, Saturday/Sunday 8AM to 2PM. All of us here would like to see the restaurant open earlier through the week. Pre-Covid, the restaurant opened at 6AM. Unfortunately, the restaurant just cannot find help to open earlier through the week. I will apologize for that, but at this point I honestly do not know what more I can do. Again, thank you for your motel business!!

Checks all the boxes, except one
The motel is exactly as advertised: no frills. That’s pretty much perfect for us, as we’re the type of people who really only need four walls, a clean bed, and morning coffee. This motel has the first two down pat. The rooms were plain but clean, the TV and lights worked, and the heater was quiet and easy to use. However, there are no in-room coffee makers. If you’re anything like me, a morning cup is a necessity, not an extra, so be sure to pack some Folgers single serve packets or instant coffee ahead of time (the rooms do have microwaves), or go over to the attached restaurant and order a cup after you get dressed for the day.

The room was very clean and comfortable. An old fashioned “key” to unlock the door instead of a card. A large flat screen tv with an abundance of channels, a microwave and fridge as well. An in house restaurant that was very busy. If you’re looking for flashy and modern, this isn’t for you. If you’re looking for clean, comfortable and nice people, it’s perfect.
