For an older locally owned motel I was pleasantly surprised. I stay in hotels about 285 days a year for work as I'm always traveling. The only complaint was actually being woke up at 4:30 a.m. from the people upstairs and the noise going down the stairs however next time I'll just standing upstairs room if I have to stay there again in that town which I would absolutely stay there again

Yes, our pet was comfortable and settled right in. Convenient grassy area to relieve herself. Everything was quite good. Mattress was a bit too firm for my taste. It's not the Taj Mahal, but excellent if all you need is a basic clean room.

Staff was nice. Room was clean. Had a larger fridge than most motels. Some construction noise outside due to new gas station going in nextdoor but it didn't keep us awake.

Our only issue was their website indicates their pet fee is $15, but they actually charge $25. I pointed out the discrepancy and the staff person said it was a mistake on the website because they have "always" charged $25. I encouraged them to fix the inaccurate information on their website.
