The owner was pleasant and showed us to the room. He explained why he did not have a mini frige or microwave, and said not to bother with the phone. The toilet paper was very thin, and no tissues (I have to blow my nose a lot). We brought our own sheets, just in case, and our own coffee maker. I wish there had been grab bars for the shower and near the stool, but he did put us in a downstairs room after he met us. There were dirty smudges around the door frame that was unsightly, and no chair to sit on, which might explain the thin spots on the sheets. It was sweet that he pointed out the birds nest in the corner, and watching the swallows swarm the next morning was a treat, although there was a buildup of bird droppings on the fire extinguisher and ground. The room was not bad, the location convenient but on a busy street. (I'm used to traffic noise). The set up kind of cute/old school. Because I'm a senior a chair and grab bars near the stool would have been nice. The shower was lovely although it did take a bit of time to warm up.
I liked the idea of the wall dispenser for the soap and shampoo, and there were two bottled water available.
The other items are convenient, but not necessary. Bare bones accommodation, but the price was right and we slept well. Enjoyed the stay, but if you are high maintenance, you would be out of luck. It is what it is and it worked for us.

The unit was well kept. It looked better inside than outside. I missed not having a microwave in the unit.

This place was definitely cozy. It was clean and quiet. The room had a bit of a smell but once the AC was turned on it was fine.

Very nice for just a sleep and shower. My only complaint is that there was not a mini fridge to keep my drinks cold.

Overall, I really enjoyed staying at the small little hotel! The room was very clean and very cozy. The staff person who checked me in is kind and courteous. The only thing that made bother other guests are the traffic on the fairly busy street outside or the area of town in which this hotel is located. I was pleasantly surprised overall, I would stay there again.

It is what it is! However, for what it is, the place was clean, cool, smelt nice, and the staff was very friendly.
I would stay again!

The interior appears to be recently renovated and looks phenomenal -- not what was expected for the price. A hidden gem!
5.0
The outsides of the buildings look a bit rough, but the insides are very nice. The showers are large and tiled. The owner is always onsite and is very helpful.
3.0
The hotel was great. The room looked just like the pictures. Check in was easy and the man behind the counter was helpful and pleasant. The shower was amazing (big enough for 2 people)
The only thing that may upset customers would be the noise from the traffic in the morning. If you are a light sleeper, as I am, the traffic could wake you up. My wife slept thru it. I would highly recommend this hotel. You can not go wrong at this price.

Really good
2.0
It was a renovated room. Nice and clean. The sink, shower, and toilet were all very nice.
But the room was very small, with no fridge, no microwave. More importantly, not a single chair!
If we arrived early, maybe we could ask the front desk. We need a chair just to sit to put shoes on. A bed there was too high.
The front desk staff was very nice. The road noise did not bother us.

Have stayed here occasionally and it was always clean and comfortable and affordable. Although the bathroom was finely renovated and the room was clean, the sheets were worn, bedspread and blanket had numerous holes. The room was humid and the air condition ran loudly all night long.
The vibe over the weekend regarding other guest was very disturbing.

Staff was friendly, welcoming and kind. There was a coffee pot in the room but no coffee. When i asked about that i was told they stopped providing coffee when covid hit, but he offered to bring some to the room and did so with a smile. Room was very small, but very clean and looked newly renovated. Exterior looked worn, but the room was fine... all I needed was a bed, TV and bathroom, and that was what i got!

This is an older motel, but has recent upgrades. Room 35 has a nicely updated, tile bathroom and sink area. The entire room was freshly painted and attractive. The effect was married by a dirty entrance door, musty odor and stained box spring cover. The bed was comfortable and although sitting on a busy road, the AC offered enough white noise for a good night's sleep.

Well, the updates were very nice & the owner courteous. The details were lacking. Dust & cobwebs, weird smell in room that effected our eyes & sinuses. Pretty sure it was a smoking room in the past. The bed was very uncomfortable. Caused my back to go out.I would have been fine for a late night, need to sleep but we were there 2 nights. I'll give them this...the pillows & shower were awesome.
Oh, no coffee in room for maker, no kleenex box refilled... the little things.

Very nice minimal hotel. Everything was clean and well maintained. The owner made sure I found my room and that everything was working. The only drawback was the nose from the street, but management doesn't have any control over that.
4.0
Great newly renovated bathrooms and rooms. Sheets were scratchy and comforters less than stellar. Decent place to lay your head for a night.
