Very retro motel. Bed was very comfortable and A/C worked great. The rooms on the south side of the motel seem more modern and occupied more often than those on the north end.

Charming throwback motel in the classic style (one floor, park outside your room). The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Only grumble is that there are no usb ports, and that's only because I forgot to bring my adapter.

The first room we were in the AC unit didn’t cool . We were promptly moved to another room and the AC worked fine. The room is what some call outdated but if you like antiques you will be fine. The hotel is very small and a little out of the way. If you’re looking for a cheaper way to visit the area it works just fine.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was quiet, clean. I had trouble figuring out how to plug in the lamps over the beds but finally figured it out. Bef was very comfortable and I went to sleep and slept well. Good selection of programs on the direct TV, but it was pretty loud and I was frustrated that I could not decrease the volume and/or mute it and turn on closed captioning.

Motor lodge with clean rooms

This is a 1960’s type of motor lodge and could use updating, but it was clean and everything worked. The manager was very friendly. I would stay there again.

Room was old and dated. Bed was comfortable. Blood in bathroom wall noted. Maintenance highly recommended. Broken walls and baseboards. Room across from dog training/boarding facility. Lots of barking at 730 am. People live at this motel. No peep hole. Lock very weak. I was alone and this place is far from town center. I asked for a receipt and I was given a hand written receipt with no company name noted on receipt. (Book of receipts bought at supply store)

This is a place that I'd consider again. It was clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly as well. The rooms are in need of updating, but it appears that they work hard to maintain them.

Check in was easy, room was very clean and quiet. No USB ports and I forgot to get the wi-fi password. We were only there 12 hours and I would go there again. I loved that my car was right outside the door. Parking spaces are plenty wide. There is a fridge, coffee maker and microwave. Everything went just fine.

Basic but good

Very basic motel, but that is all we needed. Motel is exceptionally clean and quiet despite being fully booked. The owner was very friendly and went out of his way to be helpful. The cost is especially reasonable. I would stay there again.

Very nice hotel.

Our stay went very well. We were in town to visit our son at U of I. The hotel was like 20-25 mins away from the university which was ok with us. Room was very clean and neat. Friendly service. The hotel was also located in a nice quiet area as well. Would stay again.

Good basic motel. It was clean and safe. No ice, food or anything more than WiFi and basic stuff like towels. But for the price it was fine.
