GoogleMaps will take you to what looks like Burger King, but it is the correct way. It's there down beneath the Burger King. Motel is a little worn out through time. I'm fragrance sensitive and I could smell a *Faint hint of laundry detergent in the sheets. It was still tolerable though. I slept fine. The night attendant didn't hand me a Wi-Fi password, so I don't know if there's Wi-Fi or not. For 60$ the price, and location were good. I went mountain biking the next day in St.James.

Ended up needing a place to stay last minute on a long haul home. Found this place online and from the reviews and pricing we gave it a shot. My friend and i had a great experience and the staff was so polite! Definitely recommend if you’re passing through Missouri and need a place to stay in a pinch, this place was perfect.

Owners are very rude, threatening to call cops if I wasn’t fien to the office in 5 mins to pay for another night. Said we could not workout outside, made my son open the door so they could see who was inside and made me write down names of everyone staying for no reason after I already paid the night up.
