Just stopped by for ice... but I'd totally stayed there. Vintage motel, gas station and laundry mat all under some retro neon. I dont care who you are, that's just awesome! SK

This is a long time running mom and pop motel, so I gave the room 4 stars as it’s a bit dated, but honestly it’s not bad at all. I would definitely stay here again as the staff was very nice and the room was definitely clean and taken care of. These businesses are what our country was built on and the companies with deep pockets put many of them out of business, so if you’re in the area, why not support the locals rather than some corporation that cares nothing about you or the community you’re visiting.

I've never stayed at the motel but I have been to the little gas station that they have. Very cute, just the basics, but still a nice place to stop into.

I feel like people are being quite unfair about a small town motel - yes, it is a bit dated and there are cracks here and there in the sinks and showers, but the rooms are clean, the heat and AC work well, and the sheets and towels are clearly washed and replaced after each guest. It's absolutely worth the price tag (we spent $68 before tax). Customer service is great as well. We really enjoyed staying in this small motel and absolutely will in the future if we find ourselves in Columbus again.
