We toured this small town of 1600 people. Lot of history here. It is an old facility but very clean. Ben kinda runs things around here and is a hard working great guy. Miss Rodger’s was very sweet and pleasant.

Go elsewhere, you're worth it

Worst stay of a 10 day road trip. Uncomfortable beds, terrible front desk. Only positive was brand new shower surround in the bathroom.

Clean, quiet and super convenient for budget minded road trippers. This is one of those classic and hard to find roadside motels where you park right outside your door. Charming small town has good local dining options, too. Bed was comfy and bath was in excellent condition. Roku TV wasn't working in my room but not an issue for me.

On the downward trend, bed was from the 90's near as I could tell, very little water flow in the sink, bathroom was very well done, only 2 lights in the room and the fixtures were obsolete.

Love this place. Comfy beds. Price is good

Had some issue upon check in but she moved me to another room which was away from guys sitting outside smoking and loud and my room she originally gave me was right next to them and the room itself had some issues the bathroom sink the water just trinkled out and the door was hard to close and could see daylight around it. So i asked if could move just to feel more comfortable and cuz sink issue the room she moved me to was better.. but still had some issues but for 1st night not big deal i really like this place and for the price it is a good place to lay your head and get rest. The beds are comfortable.. sheets were thin and see thru but not big deal bring my own blanket with me always. My tv did not work but used my laptop to stream when i got back for the night. The 2nd day i did go front desk and gentlemen was awesome and went to get a roku out of another room and problem solved. Had tv. Staff are friendly and helpful. Main thing need improvement in room moved to is the curtain not black out curtain and it was not quite big enough so light could be seen around edges not horrible situation but i typically work nights and sleep during day and room little bright but black out curtains that cover whole window would be great. I brought my own pillows too . My 2 pillows i folded in half they were lil skinny.. and the towels lil thin and small. I had an extra one of my own that i brought in from car to use. I do love this place. But just some things to look at maybe

Great price for basic lodging.

No frills, basic lodging. The bed was comfortable and the shower was excellent. Clean rooms and friendly service. The motel is conveniently located off I-80. If the situation presents itself I would definitely stay there again.

Nice for place to get some rest

The only bad thing was cable was out which not big deal for 1st night . I ended up extending stay one night coz didn't feel good and no tv sucked. The wifi worked so was able to stream off my phone but not ideal. I understand not their fault but no discount offered due to situation and was not even aware until checked in but overall stay was good. Bed very comfortable and hopefully when back in town next month i will more then likely stay here again

Great motel!

We really love this place, have stayed there at least five times and always try to make it part of our itinerary. The staff are great! The rooms are clean! They are pet friendly! There is a yummy pub in downtown proper (Ruby’s) about a mile from the motel. Stay here. ♥️♥️♥️
