Definitely stay here!
Booked it 20 minutes before we arrived, and when we got there the owner/employee/whoever was just coming out of our room after leaving the key and receipt in there (unlocked, of course). He offered us more blankets and help setting up the pull-out couch. He was SO nice! And our room had 3 queens and a couch, so could have slept 8! My kids were all happy to have their own beds. And the price was CHEAP. It was so clean and comfortable that I wished we were staying longer! If we ever come to this area again we will for sure!

My wife and I had our honeymoon here in July 02,2022. We decided to return for a anniversary (2 yr). Shawn and family,who still operating the Motel, work their tail"s off to please their guest. I even remember being in the pool and watching Shaun installing alot of the camera 's around the location. So if you are reading this review,Go by and check them out.You will feel at home with these friends,that we have grown to Love. I would rate them #1 on everything. Thank you Early American ,Your the GREATEST. Terry and Linda Frye

Very clean, easy check in/out. Pretty quiet. Only things I’d like to see improved are the blinds (design of the blinds allow them to let some light in) and shower (needs a much more powerful shower head and, with shower curtain pulled, was kinda dark in the shower itself). Both minor complaints. Great value-would stay again!

Quaint crisp and clean
Newly painted room, crisp and clean. Facility was old but quaint. Shower head was awesome and beds were more than comfortable. Fridge and microwave shined. We spent only one night on business but hope to go back sometime for longer stay. No hassle with our dogs. Thank you

Stayed here as a last resort on the eve of the solar eclipse. Check-in was easy. Kitchen was well-stocked with an oven and pots and pans for making a real dinner (lasagna and vegetables from Dollar General) and breakfast to save money on eating out. Main room was spacious. Beds were firm but our family prefers that. An extra bed was provided beyond the two queens which was an added bonus to keep the peace. Would stay there again.

Hidden gem
This is a hidden little gem. The owners have done a wonderful job keeping this vintage motel in top shape. This is definitely a go to for us. It is convenient to local attractions, the restaurant across the street is great and it is pet friendly. I highly recommend staying here.

Spacious for a large family for a short stay. Bathroom was very small and lacked a shower liner so the water went everywhere when showering. The foldout couch bed was broken and bowed in the middle so was not usable. The bed sheets/conforters were stained and did not appear to be clean. We got there around 11pm and left before 10a did not have the time or money to go elsewhere so we dealt with it. It was otherswise a nice place im sure management would have fixed everything right away but we did not want to disturb anyone that late at night.
