I stay here because it's inexpensive and they don't have people waking me up in the process of going to a free breakfast. Free breakfasts are a huge negative! The exterior of the building looks really rough, but the rooms are nice. I just wish there was an electrical outlet on top of the nightstand and a place to hang clothes. Conventional hooks don't fit the thick bathroom door and I have to plug my phone across the room, with the phone on the floor. Bring large door hooks and an extension cord.

The motel is used for long term stays mostly. This was not listed in any of the reviews I read. For a one night stay it worked but not what I expected for the price.

Comfortable Vintage Motel
Admittedly there was nothing special about the exterior appearance of this property, which is situated along a busy stretch of US12. I was checked in my a gentleman who was courteous and competent. My advance request for a ground floor room was honored. As mentioned, the exterior seemed cluttered and outdated--but when I opened the door I encountered a room that was very clean and comfortable.The furnishings were vintage but sturdy. The bed was extremely comfortable. The fridge and microwave were great; but the wifi was a bit weak in my room.The motel is set back from the road so it was a restful place. Plenty of places to eat nearby, even within walking distance. I liked this place a lot and would stay here again.
New sign
Bathroom was good.
Beds were comfortable with clean, crisp linen.

Good inexpensive room
When traveling by myself, I look for inexpensive. All I need is a good shower, and a comfortable bed. Hopefully, in a clean room. This Motor Inn fit the bill perfectly. Thanks for a nice stay! Second night, booked as two trips :-(

You get what you pay for: bare bones. Blanket so thin you can see through it. Room heated by a loud, rattling, wall-mounted space heater. Paper-thin slice of soap. Very worn, small bath towels. Not one hook anywhere to hang a coat, robe or toiletries bag. Bring flip - flops — room so dim you can’t make out the condition of the vinyl floor. No accessible outlet near the bedside table. Just a dreary, flophouse-type room. Next time I’ll spend the money for a room I don’t feel depressed in.

If check in is at 1pm, then have the room ready at that time or advertise a different check in time. This threw off my day as I was visiting my daughter at college from out of town and had things scheduled throughout the day and didn’t have time to go back and forth from Hillsdale. Needed up checking in at 10:30pm

The room had an unpleasant odor, musty, the air conditioning left a lot to be desired. Wires for the TV come through the ceiling, no coffee, although there was a microwave and small fridge. Furniture was old and well used, pillows were almost non-existent, small and way too much give.

Broken window. No heater. STUNK!!!! Had to leave in the middle of the night because it smelled so bad. We had plans the next day to ride the train but we had to cancel that too! The owners didn’t even care.

Perfect for an inexpensive place to stay when all you're using it for is to sleep and shower. I will be staying again!

It's ok
It's definitely an old motel, but the staff keeps it clean. Unfortunately, there is a drug situation in the area and some of the people staying look down-on-their-luck. But, for the price, as long your expectations are low, you'll be fine.

Bad Experience
When I checked in I noticed a sign that stated "All Rooms Were Non-Smoking". Wonderful news! I checked in and asked for a wake up call at 7:00 AM. After checking in- I never went to the room as I had to leave right away and did not return to enter my room till approx. 11:30 PM. The room was "reiking" with the smell of smoke and stale tobacco. It kept me up most of the night and I was extremely nauseated. It was a very, very unpleasant experience. After not getting very much sleep and finally dozing off- what could have been worse- the wake up call came in at 6:00 AM. I would highly recommend that the ceiling and walls either be scrubbed with a disinfectant or re-painted. The curtains should be laundered and the carpeting disinfected and shampooed. All in all- it was a horrible experience.Should have asked for a refund.

Hotel was OK considering the price. However, our room was very old. The material under the carpet crackled when you walked on it. Bathroom was fine. Beds were fine although one of the blankets had cigarette burns in it. OK place if you just needed somewhere to sleep few nights.
