Was hesitant to stay after reading some of the reviews. But it was convenient to family so we gave it a try and was very satisfied. We stayed in room 4, it had ceramic tiled floors, mini fridge and microwave. It was small but comfortable and clean. (It’s an Inn in a small town not a five star hotel, not sure what other reviewers were expecting) we will definitely stay again next time we are in town visiting family.
My friend and I are bicycling across country. Because the climate is humid, we’re opting to stay in motels. We are so grateful for this motel. The room was clean, air conditioning worked great, friendly staff, hot shower, and close to restaurants in this small town. And the price was good.
Room definitely could have been cleaner but mostly that's just because everything is so old. Bed was clean and comfortable, AC worked, and shower was hot. Staff was friendly and helpful. There was a strong air freshener smell, and there was only a shower rather than a tub, but it was perfectly fine for one night.
