No to pets but did not have any! No towels No Tv remote I retrieve one from desk two people had to program and then the Dish tv service stopped working! No telephone in room and window blinds were broken which was a problem of privacy! Would not recommend this to anyone! I would like my money back!! I hope I have hot water in the morning for a shower! Really disappointed and disgusted with this property! Also if you want a cup of coffee it will cost you a dollar in the office! At most it may be worth closing it down or reduce the cost to $20.00!

We were fooled by many reviews of “Excellent”, I’m not sure how those happened. I love a cute remodeled older motel, but this one did not fit that vibe. It was dated, the room smelled terrible, the blankets were stained, the decor dated, the room horribly stuffy when we arrived, and check in was way more complicated than it should have been since I booked and paid on Expedia. This motel has potential to be super cute, but it needs some love and care put into it. I’m not usually a harsh reviewer, but I was really mislead on the quality of this establishment.

Great for the price

Very nice individual at the front desk who greeted me and quickly checked me in. I was a little worried at first because it was so affordable but I have to say it is one of the cleanest places I have stayed in. Bed was comfortable and the shower was very clean. Absolutely would stay here again. My stay was a just to sleep and shower and back on the road so no thrills just rest and shower.

The room was really clean with vintage decor from the early 80’s. The bed was comfortable and linens were soft and clean. Also the price was excellent. It’s a classic motor hotel.

Nice place to stay

This is an older motel, but well-maintained. Extremely nice proprietor. Convenient to Carthage and Nauvoo. Very quiet at night. Mattress seemed somewhat bouncy, but comfortable for sleeping. Half the price of other nearby motels. Stayed two nights and would definitely stay again if in the area.
