we didn't stay here, they moved us to a nicer motel.
The property advertised having "squeaky-clean" rooms or something to that effect, and both my wife and I felt it lived up to this advertisement. Nothing fancy, but clean and affordable.
For an older motel, it is in excellant condition. The tub was better caulked than mine at home or any other motel I stayed at in the past year.

We chose this hotel for its price. For what we paid, it's good value. The hotel is very dated, and nothing fancy, but perfect for our one-night stopover. We would definitely consider staying here again.
The hotel was clean and conveniently located in downtown Gaylord. Many restaurants within walking distance. It's an older motel, but it was adequate for our night's stay. Some of the bathroom fixtures were newer.

Older motel. Average accommodations. Good for the price. Walkable distance for food.
This motel is in downtown Gaylord, in walking distance to pubs and restaurants. It is affordable and clean. I prefer to stay here whenever I am in Gaylord.
This is the second time we stayed here. The hotel is nothing fancy, but it totally fits what we were looking for. Clean room and clean sheets ! It is located in downtown, therefore it is easy to get to all the excitement of downtown and not have to worry about driving if you like to indulge in the various alcoholic offerings that are available. It is an extremely fun area with a ton of places to visit.
