The property was older looking from the outside but fit the area and to be expected. The area was clean and there weren't people randomly hanging around loitering. The room we stayed in was remodeled, clean and everything appeared fresh and newer. AC worked great but is a unit in the wall and a little loud. All good though, this was the "white noise". Shower is a walk in, big and clean. Shower curtain appeared clean, fresh. Towels were decent, not thin and cheap. Decent toilet paper, not super thin. No extra blankets (but we know they are not needed!!). Only two thin pillows so, bring your own if you like more pillows. Floor was clean. Misty, at the front desk, was very friendly and had the room ready early for us. For the rate, this little motel was better than expected. Location, it is convenient to everything in town.

It was fairly quiet besides the paper thin walls. The room was hot cause the ax unit kept shutting off.

This motel is very, very basic and kind of put the appearance of a late 50's, early 60's sleep spot. You get what you pay for as the saying goes. No light connected to switch at the entry door. No refrigerator in the room. Missing tile off bathroom floor. Total room square footage approx. 160 ft. Motel sits about 1/4 mile off the main highway going through Lamar so it is quiet not having to hear the high truck traffic that goes through. For a very economical one night stay it was what you pay in the very end. I would stay again just because of the quiet and price.

Thank you Tommie. I will make sure to get a light/lamp set up so that it is connected to the light switch by the door, I truly appreciate you letting me know because its supposed to be set up that way and it must have gotten rearranged. We are in the process of remodeling its just a slow process. Thank you again for your review and I wish you a blessed day!

Hello Thomas! Thank you for giving us a moment out of you day to let us know how your stay with us went. I'm super glad you liked the room it must have been room 101, its closest to the noisy road/highway. I do apologize for that unfortunately there is not a whole lot that I can do about that, except that if you choose to stay with us again put you further to the back of motel. That way it isn't so noisy for you. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, I wish you a wonderful and blessed day.

Got what I paid for
Well, I got what I paid for I guess. It was cheap and the bed was clean and that was my minimum bar. The front desk person was very nice, and even called to check on me to see if I was still coming when I got in later than expected. The room however…again, the bed was clean. The bathroom, a little questionable, the tv also questionable…I was a little concerned that the door wouldn’t lock but it did. It served its purpose of being a cheap place to stay while traveling east.

Insects spots, Terrible Place
I did not take photos, but the hotel's conditions are bad. The room smells terrible, with insects on the floor and the roof. The walls are broken with holes, a good spot for insects. The lamps have insect, smell bad, the toilet, the shower and sink drain is open. The hotel needs to be remodeled. I pay $62, not reimbursable. Please, the place is terrible, the street outside is cleaner with less insects. The furniture is old, damaged and broken.

Good morning Miguel I just wanted to respond to your wonderful review. Just so that you might know our motel is under renovation but unfortunately we cannot do every room all at once and as far as that room being that bad you didn't take pictures because there are no pictures that would show that bad stuff it has a brand new mattress no it's an older room that as I said we are in the process of remodeling and sorry we did not accommodate you to what you would have liked Thank you and have a blessed day

the male staff on afternoon shift was a little overwhelmed. The dayshift staff on the 19 was late, rude and threatened to call the police when my traveling partner walked into wrong door looking for staff. Rooms had broken door knobs, bugs, and kind of clean. Price should have been a sign of the motels condition. In real need of maintenance staff.
