For a budget motel with outside door it was very comfortable and clean. We have stayed at costly hotels with horrible mattresses and there mattresses were very comfortable and slept great. We recommend for those on a budget and looking for clean place to stay. Also, recommend Ruby’s Pub & Grill in Stuart and Beans & Beignet in Earlham.

Check in was friendly, helpful, and easy. Room was very clean. A suggestion would be to have instructions on how to run TV. We are older and not savvy with electronics. Enjoyed our 2 night stay. Would stay again if in the area.

Despite a very professional and accommodating staff, sadly, the motor Lodge is very few amenities. There was not a coffee pot nor and iron or ironing board. Both of which, I commonly need when I travel. That said the staff was awesome.

The room was very clean. There is plenty of parking, and you can park right next to your room. The water pressure in the shower was fantastic. The refrigerator and TV didn't work. The flusher on the toilet was wobbly and felt like it would break at every flush. The pillows are very thin. Because we were only staying one night and the price was very low, those inconveniences were minor things.

The room was clean and comfortable enough. The motel oversells itself by promising “five restaurants” and the pet-friendly rooms are very basic - carpet squares on concrete. Price is good if you just need a convenient overnight with your pet and aren’t picky bout you menu options.
