The staff at the hotel were very helpful. We got in late in the evening and they helped us park our truck and trailer. The room was the cleanest room we’d ever seen. And it was so comfortable. And it was so quiet. We highly recommend.

The property was well maintained, clean and ample parking. There was no breakfast to speak of, just a single household coffee pot. But it worked out well for the price.

The room was fine. We only dealt with the desk clerk and he was pleasant. The ac/heat worked well, just noisy at times.....sometimes a rattle, some time an alarm clock sound, sometimes a hissing.

Drive to the door Carthage motel

The room was clean and comfortable, and not too far from Carthage center. It was a drive to the door motel on one level which is very handy. There was a lovely family restaurant within a 10 minute walk from the motel, and a mexican just over the road.

The owner was at the front desk. He was super nice and very friendly. I was on a motorcycle, he allowed me to park it in a covered area and places me in a room that was very close to that area. Rooms were clean and the bed was great. In the morning he made sure to tell me that coffee was ready and offered to let me fill a travel mug if i wanted. Would highly recommend

1 king bed, non-smoking room. Wall mounted window A/C unit that worked great. Room was VERY clean, staff incredibly friendly and welcoming, very easily accessible location, reasonable amount of parking. We came for a wedding and stayed 4 nights. The only thing I can think to complain about is that the bathroom window is the only ventilation for the shower, which didn't cause any issue for us but might in colder months. Full size mini fridge with freezer, Microwave, TV, decent wifi. When we left the owner told us we should come back next time. We will! Genuinely better experience than some higher priced hotels I've been to. For one thing, my room card worked flawlessly every time which is an issue we have had on multiple occasions.

Fair price, comfy bed, nice owners

Comfy bed, recently remodeled room. Nice not to have carpet. AC unit is loud, need a hook behind the door for hanging stuff. A small shelf would be nice next to bed between bathroom wall. Road noise can be heard and anything going on at gas station next door. We are in non smoking room but ppl smoke right outside our room and smoky air get sucked into our room by the AC unit. Smokers should walk farther away.

The Guest House in Carthage is your basic 1960’s Motel that has been renovated with updated interiors and a good kiss of maintenance on the outside. Everything was clean. Nothing was particularly special, but it was what I needed near the end of a long motorcycle journey. The gentleman who checked me in was professional, kind, and polite, even lending me his carport to protect my bike from the elements and provide a modicum of security. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to a friend as an inexpensive place to lay their head for the night.

Had reservations but did not stay. Front desk person kept asking me for more money after I explained I booked through expedia online. He got verbally and visually annoyed and went silent, picked up the phone and called someone and spoke so I couldn't understand. After I waited he asked for money again and I told him forget it I was going elsewhere.
