Nice lady in front desk, good size bed, cable tv, little fridge. 9 months pregnant & i Slept very well.
Rooms were basic with average but clean sheets and furniture, nothing to complain about
Nice and clean at a good price. The only negative is that the free WiFi wasn't there when I stayed. The password they wrote down didn't work
i love going there owner is very nice known her for years its cool
I Love talking to the mngr Lisa . I've been coming here for yrs with my husband before he passed away. And it's been a few yrs the last time I was here. It just brings old memories of my husband & I. . But I Always feel very comfortable when I come here.
So this place has its pros and cons. Overall for a short stay its pretty good. So as I was saying ill start with the cons. The manager is very strict and doesn't hesitate to let you know it. There are strictly no visitors allowed (unless you slip a little 20$). No microwaves in the rooms(there is 1 community microwave that is put away after 10pm I think) walls are pretty thin and you can hear what's going on next door. Now some pros. Right next to a market bank and some good food. If you need a short stay you can get an hourly rate and everyone at the place is pretty nice. Rooms are kept clean and manager is quick to address any issues with your room. Parking and well lit area with cameras make sure your se use at night.
Well if it's a nice place it's clean I enjoyed it very very much the manager is willing to work with you that's why she can come down and support local businesses Oscar's Motel is a pretty good choice come on down and support him

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
