As the name implies, this is a basic economy motel. The room was generally clean except the floor was dirty. The nice part is it is a hard floor versus carpet. The bed was comfy and clean as were the bathroom and towels. TV and HVAC worked great. Plenty of free parking and we felt generally safe. Nice location to check out the Shawnee Forest sights.
Unfortunately, my stay at this hotel was disappointing. The cleanliness was poorly maintained. there were visible signs of neglect, and I encountered cockroaches in the room. The atmosphere outside the hotel was unsettling, with groups of people loitering near the entrance all hours of the night which made me feel uncomfortable. Additionally, my room wasn’t being cleaned until after I checked in, that was around 7pm. I ask for a refund but was denied. I wouldn’t recommend this property based on my experience.

Easy to check in , front staffs are very friendly. Room is clean. Love this place.
The housekeeper came to reset our TV. It was the first time I've met my housekeeper. She was so friendly and asked if she could do anything else. She asked if the room was ok because she had she had cleaned it. I liked knowing my housekeeper.
While our arrival was nice and the owner was friendly and courteous we left not feeling that way. We are traveling across the country and needed a good nights sleep. We listened to a remodeling project going on until 9:45 pm directly in front of our room. When I called the desk and complained they came right away and had them stop. We decided to check out the next morning and cut our stay short due to the noise not being sure it would not happen again the next day. Also while checking out there was a big at the door I’m pretty certain it was a roach but of course they called it a beatle. When hotels.com called to refund our unused nights stay they were snarky and would not honor the credit. I guess they needed the money that badly. Town is basically abandoned. There was however a very good restaurant Morellos. They have a vast menu and very good food.
