I chose this motel because of a previous Travelocity review. And they were spot on. It is a small motel that may not look AMAZING from the outside but everything is brand new inside. I have never seen such clean bathrooms at a motel/hotel. The decor is a bit old looking in the room but who cares! It’s spotless. The staff is so friendly. I would highly recommend this motel.

Recently totally remodeled, clean, relatively quiet location. Love being able to park right outside of the room. Inexpensive.

What a stellar motel! I can’t give this place a higher rating. I stopped here for an overnight stay during the Thanksgiving holiday. I only stayed long enough to shower and sleep, and it was kind of a bummer because this is the kind of place you WANT to stay a little longer! My hotel room was recently renovated, very clean, and very modern. If you look at the pictures of the King rooms in the review photos you’ll see a beautifully furnished, contemporary room. That’s exactly what you get, but it’s just so much cuter in person! I was so pleased with my stay. The shower was brand new, large, and SO clean. The bed was very comfortable. Everything about this motel exceeded my expectations. If I’m ever driving through this part of the country again I will stay here with absolutely no hesitation! I might even go an hour out of my way, honestly. What a breath of fresh air on cross country road trip! Thank you Cardinal Motel!

Freshly redone
The outside of the motel has been completely updated, as well as the lobby. Our room (103) was 100 percent remodeled. I assume the others were done also. It was so nice to be in a newly done room!

This is my second stay here, and will probably stay again. Early, convenient check in with a friendly staff. Beds were comfortable and the bathrooms are well lit and a good shower head. Fridge, microwave and a blow dryer come in handy of course.
