Very nice update on simple rooms in an old cinder block motel on Historic Route 66. Big TV and simple free breakfast.
Is it dated? Yes and the price reflects that. However, very friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed, good AC and TV with lengthy channel offering. If your looking for an economical and comfortable stay over. This is it! I personally like the pull up to door convenience of a motel.
This is an old motel looks like the 50's to 60's. Small comfy rooms clean and really nice office attendant. She is so nice. Does not look like a bedbug place as they keep these rooms clean. Habanreo mexican restaurant right across the street.
Good overnite stop. Room was spartan but clean. Comfy king bed. Great mexican takeout across the street. Laundry if needed.
A very quiet, clean and relaxing place to stay!! The best night I've slept in a long time!! Staff are great people!! Very welcoming!!
The first night was bad, but management took care of the issue and fast. We are here for a week and we have had a great stay. The room is clean and they respect our wish for no service needed for our time here.
So far so good! Must say the room service staff seem like pretty solid folks. If u plan to stay a while dont forget to read ALL OF THE RULES. Not a bad place plus habeneros is right across the road!
I stay at this motel for one night, Purchased a single room for $60+ change including tax. The room was clean. the bed was comfortable. The cable TV didn't really didn't work, but no big deal. The shower was hot, the bathrooms were clean, Plenty of clean towels. The location was relatively close to the highway. Would stay here again. MM
I stayed at the guest house motel for a couple of months when i lived in carthage and was working at butterball the owners were always friendly and willing to help you with whatever you needed the room prices were very reasonable no matter if you were staying one night or many nights and the maintenance man was always the to call if you had something wrong with something in your room and you get all the channels you can watch on tv and free WiFi
The owner is absolutely awesome, he is very professional and has a wonderful staff. He keeps the rooms up to date and clean, I will come back here if I need to in the future...
