You can’t beat the price. It was clean and had all we were asking for. If you are okay with a simple room at a great price, this is perfect. The front desk is so friendly and welcoming too.

No frills but very clean.

Stayed here many times, very clean, cozy basic rooms at a very good price for travelers on the move. It's no frills, but worth it off the beaten path.

Yup, stay here

Don is a sweetheart that is patient and kind to his guests. The room was very comfortable for the price point. The only thing missing is a bath mat towel. Would absolutely stay again if passing through little Newell.

Don't let the location fool ya...

I wasn't sure about this place looking at it in the dark when I checked in at 10:30pm, but the gentleman was very kind and welcoming and my room was ready for me, freshly refurbished and clean as a whistle. I would definitely stay here anytime I'm in the area.

The best thing about the town was the youth rodeo. The worst thing was the town's emergency whistle blowing in the wee hours of the morning. Finally someone turned it off. The best thing about the motel was the price. The room was small and the beds were not very good. The refrigerator and microwave worked. There were several several dead and/or missing light bulbs. There were no chairs nor any place for our belongings but the floor. One bed covered the closet opening so nothing could be put in there either.

We were there for a wedding and needed a place to sleep. Not a vacation spot. Just a bed. No cable or tv.

I was very surprised by this hotel! We stopped here on our way to Seattle because it was a cheap place to sleep. It has been the best place on this trip so far. The gentleman at the desk was very helpful, the room was very quiet, and very very cozy. The inn looks old, but it also looks like the owner is trying there best to maintain it. It did not feel neglected, just old, which made it charming. The shower had amazing water pressure which was a much needed relief with our long drive. If you happen to be near Newell this is a great place to stay!

Off the beaten path Newell is a town of about 600 people. So not much to offer. Check in was ok, they had reservations & that it was prepaid. Room extremely small. Air conditioning window type did cool the room. Flies & mosquitoes in the room. Couldn’t get TV to turn on (maybe just me). Did have warm water & small refrigerator that worked.
