Very transparent review: There were things we did and didn't love! Overall experience was great, but I do think we got lucky in some ways.
Rooms: There are two buildings, one is very new and the rooms are great! Clean, well put together. The other building (at least from what we experienced), not so much. As other reviews have said, it's very 50s style and not in a good way - seems like everything has been barely touched since the 50s. There were cigarette holes in some of the furniture and the bathroom didn't smell great - bathroom door wouldn't open all the way. However, this leads me to the service...
Service: Amazing! We arrived at 2:30am after a 14h commute and were exhausted - to the point where I left my ID at the desk because I was in a fog. We were initially put in the older of the two buildings, which as I mentioned, wasn't great. My boyfriend went for a run in the morning and the guy at the desk (presumably the owner) flagged him down and gave him my ID, and asked if we would like to move to the other building. We didn't know how much nicer it really was, so we initially didn't say yes. But a little while later they saw us outside again and asked if they could show us the other room because they thought we'd really like it - we agreed and did end up moving because it was a night and day difference between the two rooms. There was no cost difference, and they took care of us.
Location: Great! Close to several nearby towns, and like I mentioned before, it was an area my boyfriend was able to run in as well. There were stores and gas stations within 5min of the motel, so that made the trip easy.
Overall I would say it was a great experience, but would probably ask if there is any way to book in the newer of the two buildings for future stays.
