Ok let's see. There are things I like about this motel and things that need improvement.
Thinks I like:
It definitely has a hard core vintage vibe. That's a negative and a positive, but mostly a positive. Look. This motel has been serving people for over 70 years and it SHOWS. But I LOVE the vintage wood and the cool retro tile in the bathroom. I wish there was more of it tbh.
The rate is decent for the area. $75 a night for two double beds and
Owners seemed friendly on the phone. They have good check in procedure. They were accommodating on my late check in.
The bad:
Okay. I've been to a lot of these mom and pop roadside motels and I expect a little bit of grunginess. This one just crossed over my threshold of forgivable dirt and I think it just needs a good cleaning. See, most of the visible areas were clean. The beds were mostly clean, the floors were decent. Shower was clean as was the toilet. But the more hidden areas had a layer of old dirt that was simply beyond what I can forgive, even for a roadside motel. I've been to a lot of these old motels and while a lot of them are OLD, they usually take special care to clean them. This one...ehh. Not so much. A few of the towels were literally black and totally stained and need to be replaced. The wall in the bathroom needed a good wipe down. These are easy and inexpensive fixes.
So all in all, not bad. Not great either. About average, hence my rating. read more
