Needs sprucing up and an exterminator.

Beds are very uncomfortable. Ants both inside and outside the room. Deadbolt did not actually lock the door. Shower plumbing was loose in the wall. It definitely needs a lot of modernization, sprucing up, and an exterminator for the ants!

Nice size room, very comfortable beds. Bill was very accommodating. We were traveling on motorcycles and got caught in bad weather on the way there. We were afraid we wouldn't make it before he closed. He told me he would leave the key out for us and we could settle up with him in the morning. This motel is old but clean. No bugs!!! Great location and covered parking for motorcycles.

It's unbelievable that this motel is still in operation. It was filthy, bed sheets and pillows needed to be replaced with new and clean ones.after checking the room we left and used another motel.

Service was excellent, very happy with the staff. The room was also generally very clean and pretty comfortable. The downsides were primarily in room condition. There is a lot of fit and finish that should be done to bring the rooms up to a suitable standard. I appreciate the historic nature of the motel and don't expect remodeling, though there were issues like missing/damaged trim, pretty poor paint, poor seal around the window AC, etc. I also would have appreciated black out curtains or blinds as a lot of light came through the existing, small curtains. My only complaint cleanliness wise was that I saw what appeared to be black mold growing beneath the showerhead on the wood panels. Otherwise the room was very clean.
