A quaint older motel near Monticello Railway Museum that has better rates than any other motel nearby. The owners were very polite and helpful.

This is a place that I'd consider again. It was clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly as well. The rooms are in need of updating, but it appears that they work hard to maintain them.

I had to find a room fast (11:00 PM) due to my original hotel lost power. It was out of the way and was farther than Google maps indicated, but it worked for over night. Owners were great!

Good basic motel. It was clean and safe. No ice, food or anything more than WiFi and basic stuff like towels. But for the price it was fine.

Everything was nice but my AC did not work, which ruined the whole experience. I’d gladly stay here during the winter time, just not summer!

Covenant, not luxury.
Our only problem was that the Pillows were flat, but this little place was clean and warm, had hot water and was convenient for our needs.
