This place is older, but was nice and clean it's not fancy, but if you need a nice clean place to spend the night I would recommend it, and they have a gas station a block away and a Dollar general a block away Plus plenty of restaurants choose from at the exit

Cute family motel

Great place and value for one night stay. Manager even called me because i was arriving after dark to warn me about driving carefully and to be on the look out for deer, I did come across one and appreciated the heads up.

The friendliness of the owner, the fact that he thought enough about his customer to warn me to be aware of the many deer encounters there had been. Very personable!

The motel is a time capsule from the 1950's and is a fun place to stay. many of the other guests who gathered outside their rooms and talked until after 4:00 A.M. and therefore made it difficult to sleep.

Very comfy

This hotel shocked me. It is family-owned and located in a very safe, quaint town. The desk clerk was friendly and the room was unbelievably clean. Bed was also comfy. Despite it being 2 degrees outside, the room itself stayed warm and the water was hot for showering. Definitely worth the price. I'd stay here again.

2 star motel with 5 star service attitude

Maahir was great. I arrived after midnight with a reservation and he was very friendly and welcoming. The motel is a bit older (50’s maybe?) and needs a little tlc, but the room comfortable. Even the late train going by reminded me of growing up a block from the tracks back home.

Clean but outdated

Clean and orderly, but old and outdated with little upgrade. It is accordingly cheap if one needs to save money.
