No frills but very clean.

Stayed here many times, very clean, cozy basic rooms at a very good price for travelers on the move. It's no frills, but worth it off the beaten path.

Yup, stay here

Don is a sweetheart that is patient and kind to his guests. The room was very comfortable for the price point. The only thing missing is a bath mat towel. Would absolutely stay again if passing through little Newell.

Don't let the location fool ya...

I wasn't sure about this place looking at it in the dark when I checked in at 10:30pm, but the gentleman was very kind and welcoming and my room was ready for me, freshly refurbished and clean as a whistle. I would definitely stay here anytime I'm in the area.

Owner is super nice! Remodeling this older motel, so it’s not perfect, but it’s clean with WiFi, and tv. In a small town, so there isn’t a lot around but the diner next door is fabulous. Great stopover. Don’t let appearance fool you, the care given is first rate.
