A great classic little roadside motel. When I called in advance and heard how cheap a room was my expectation were low but I was very pleasantly surprised when I got in my room. It was very clean and well maintained. The lady working the front desk was friendly and nice to talk with.

Quiet, comfortable, and CLEAN!! Excellent customer service, easy access, nice little facility. The local restaurant is great too with very generous portions, and the gas station pizza ranks high against any Chicago style pie. Would definitely stay again when traveling through.

The couple who owns this are super nice. They have invested a lot to upgrade the rooms and still be able to keep the prices comparable for us Pilot Escort people. Rooms are non smoking but they di have benches right outside the rooms to sit down and an ashtray. Beds are comfy, showers are hot & good water pressure. They even have good towels. As long as we are on the wind project we are on (Pueblo CO-Manly IA), we will stay here if we are in the area & need a room. Only downfall is the only restaurant nearby is across the street & its open 24hrs, so you are stuck with what's on the menu & if they are not out of it. -P&KH Transportation and Logistics

My phone decided to not work upon my arrival. I attempted to call the number on the door and though I could hear the owner, he couldn't hear me. I tried texting and that didn't work. This is where I would like to thank the contractor/carpenter who happened to be working on one of the rooms and called the owner for me. Once I got into the room it was really great! Adorable decor and lovely classic bathroom tile. The room was especially clean and with a fridge, microwave and coffee maker and large recliner and a little desk. Perfect!

Very, very clean motor court, at a great price! There's a national chain nearby, tho more expensive and less comfy. As well, given the Motor Inn is a motor court, one's room is just a few steps from your car (who doesn't love that)!

Like travel in my childhood. Off the beaten track but CHEAP AND CHEERFUL! No frills but managers were friendly and accommodating. A nice alternative for a stopover to the pricey area chain motels. A nostalgic treat!

Highly recommend this place. Owner came out late nite in a storm to come back to office and get us a room after our reservation got screwed up across the street. Very comfortable clean rooms and was cheaper than across the street. Would definitely stay again.
