Was unhappy that your website declared this motel to be in Joseph but in reviewing booking it was in fact in Enterprise, close but not the same. Don’t be lead astray!

Great little hotel

I wasn’t expecting much but was very happily surprised with it. Towels were big and thick. The room was very clean. The couple working there were very helpful with meal recommendations.

Staff is hardworking although the lobby smelled of tobacco smoke which could have been from a previous customer. Walls were thin and could hear too much of the next room. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Hotel is nicely located to find ample dining options at walking distance.

We rented two rooms after a five-day motorcycle ride, and we loved the location, price, and friendliness of the staff. I've stayed there before and I'll do so again!

Everything was terrific! David, the manager, was fantastic as he was very friendly & provided a fast check in & gave us walking directions to a restaurant. The lobby was great, & was well stocked for the continental breakfast which was good.
