No frills motels
One of the only motel during my trip that had a physical key instead of a door card. This is not a complaint, just an observation. My room was on the first floor and I was able to park right in front. My room was comfortable. Nothing to complain about.

Good for an overnight stop
Pros: Decent roadside motel ideal for a one night stop. The staff were nice, the room was a bit older, and the facility overall was in good shape. Cons: We had a random dirty washcloth left in our shower. The bed had some sort of metal base that is very loud when you get in/out of bed.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bed was too close to the air conditioning unit. The air conditioning unit was very noisy. There was a unit above ours where the floor was apparently hollow because the sound from the residents thumping around was very loud. There were no cups in the room for water. There were no tissues. There was an odor in the room which was probably old cigarette smoke. The bath linens also had a very nasty smell like they were not cleaned properly. Needless to say we only stayed one night of our extended stay and left early the next day to find another place to stay!

Oasis in a struggling town
Park in front of your room hotel - had to ring a doorbell to get lobby access to check in. Need to stress value priced hotel. ie; no soap etc supplied. Room was clean, bathroom clean bed firm which I like. TV was clear. Some sketchy seeming people staying in rooms nearby, made me a bit uncomfortable not knowing their story. I like supporting these kinds of hotels - they are a dying traveling choice.

It's an older property, but in very good shape. The bed was very comfortable and huge one of the largest king beds I have ever slept in, not lumpy or breaking down. Not the Ritz but way better than most chains, great mom and pop joint.

A very good value
Had the new room (#34). Hot shower, cold A/C, very comfortable bed with a firm AND soft pillow, and better lighting than I’ve had at the fancier hotels. Also parked at my door. Heard some trains, but no biggie.

Remember to get your key deposit
The key requires a $10 cash deposit, which will be refunded if you ask. Wifi is secure with multiple access points, so it works even in the end rooms. There's no coffee, tea, cups or soap, but there is a microwave & minifridge. "Downtown" horse cave is only ~15min walk away.

Motel was run by nice people who didn't speak English well... It was their second language. I don't know if our room was the only one available or if his eagle eyes saw my mother's limited mobility but he gave us a ground floor room which was perfect. The AC barely worked and took hours to get close to the set temperature and for about 2 hours someone kept tapping on the wall, but eventually stopped and we were able to get to sleep.
