We have stayed at Western Motel several times over the years, as it is a convenient spot to stay when making a trip to the Okefenokee Swamp. Motel/hotel lodgings are scarce in Folkston, but this motel has always been clean and comfortable, even though dated. If you just need working TV, lights, shower, good towels and a comfortable bed, you should be good to go here.
This is a very old facility, and the mattresses were new, but the sheets were old.The pool was green and there was alot of debris stacked everywhere. The young man at the front desk was very polite and I can say that the room was clean.

Quiet, clean room. Helpful host. Programmed key needed re-program next morning. One electrical outlet held phone phone charger too loosely to allow charge.

It was just one night to break travel. Friendly & welcoming man on reception. Room reasonable size, comfortable beds. No coffee maker but there was a fridge & microwave. OK shower with lots of hot water. Could do with upgrading but OK. Shame pool out of action. Short walk to food outlets but a visit to the Okefenokee national wildlife refuge is a must.

They are working hard on improving the property
Pros:
-Very friendly staff
-hard working crew
-safe parking
-hot coffee in main area of office
-comfy beds for the price you're paying
-working hard to improve themselves
-colleagues report they were way better than their neighbor motel on the bed feel.
Cons:
-soap/body washes etc terrible
-towels/washcloths really rough and itchy
-door I stayed in did not have any extra latches and there was a clear gap in the bottom of the door that I could see outside
-spiders, I can normally handle it but there were lots of spiders in the covers and around that I had to chase out. Multiple days. And I know I saw them cleaning their butts off! :)
Checking was easy most hotels don't let you check in until after 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon but they let us check in before then. The manager on duty was very helpful in answering any questions I had. Overall cleanliness was decent. I had a decent amount of towels and washcloths which is something I like to have. If I had to rate My overall experience between a one and a 10 I would give it a 10.
