It was an inexpensive room so expectations weren’t unreasonably high but the bathroom drains were so slow that you couldn’t shower, and carpet was soaked next to the AC unit. Area was nice and walkable.

It's a older motel but clean and quiet. Check in by phone for code and room number as no staff on site. It's a short walk from downtown. Very clean

The property was easy to find and had excellent parking. It was right down the street from an excellent restaurant, The Dewdrop. The carpet was clean but stained.... the water pressure for the shower was not good... took a while to get hot but once it did, it was good. It was so nice to have a fridge, microwave and coffee pot in the room. For the price, it was ok.

Getting old, but good price for what you get

This place is getting a bit dated. No real problems though. It was worth the price. There is no office person. The office door has a phone number to call to get the code for your door access. This went well though.

You get what you pay for

Cheap rate but place is in bad condition. Torn furniture, peeling paint, stained peeling ceiling. No onsite staff. The room was clean and the sheets were sanitized. I would not return.

This motel is what we would call a ‘mom and pop’ motel. It is located close to downtown Gladstone, which met our needs. The motel is not staffed, so check in is done by calling a phone number posted on the old office door. When we called, we were given our room number and a code to enter into the keypad door lock. The rooms have a step up into the room, so not ada. Our room had a coffee pot, fridge, cable tv, and wifi. The motel exterior is nice too. Cons: the bed felt old and too firm. We are seniors and left with our bodies a bit sore. The room has some musty like odors, but we carry deodorizer spray and was able to mitigate it. The room door is a bit warped and had a large gap at bottom, we used a towel to plug it at night. Tub/shower surround was old and bulgy, don’t lean on the wall! And some mold along the seams. Toilet is the old small round type, and low to the floor. These are not male friendly and really short. We stayed three days, and as is typical these days, no housekeeping during your stay. So when checking in we asked for additional towels, as you only get two. We were told the next morning would get another set, it didn’t happen, but later we snagged the nice housekeeping lady and got a couple more towels. Overall, a nice typical mom and pop motel. We would stay again when visiting the area.

Dated interior, old looking devote, . Door jamb was busted up like someone had kicked in the door. Needs maintenance repair. Shower head dropped constantly, could not shut off the shower completely to stop the constant drip, drip , drip. . Room was clean. Sheets were clean. Room was warm while outside was cold

It was good as always, I stay there often. Only issues were that I couldn’t get ahold of the motel manager right away to get my room number and code for the room, and the parking lot is super small and hard to navigate, especially when it’s full. But other than that, very clean and nice.

Outside the property was very clean, our room which was number 10 was not so clean, there was a bunch of dirt and toenails on the side of the bed stand which look like it hadn't been vacuumed in many moons behind the refrigerator there was food and dust and dirt which was also not vacuumed, there was dead bugs inside the bathroom and dead flies all along the window sill They definitely have to do a way better job on their housekeeping, I personally sprayed bed bug spray with all the sheets off and disinfected the whole room with a can of Lysol
