I love this place! Quiet hidden gem farmland oasis
Pros:

I love this motel so much that I stayed an extra night. First, it's much more homey and comfortable that a big hotel. It is quiet, peaceful and easy to get to from the highway.

I was able to park right outside my room, which makes everything easier when traveling on a long road trip.

The room key is a real key versus a key card. This is a rarity and so much better than having to swipe a card every time you enter your room. I absolutely love this and would come back just for this.

I was able to work on a cozy couch with everything I needed. The rooms are spacious and cozy. The air is clean. There are chairs to sit on right outside each room to enjoy the sun. This feels much more like home versus a sterile, crowded large hotel.

The room is also clean and well kept.

The staff is so friendly, supportive, accessible and helpful. This means so much.

If you need anything groceries there is a very affordable DG Market right next door.

I would also recommend this motel as a great place for a family. It is safe and quiet and there is a fridge and microwave in the room.

Like my title says, this is a quiet hidden gem.
I will surely come back next time I am in the area.
I have already recommended them to friends.

Pros:

There was garbage on the property and sidewalks in addition to broken down vehicles. Pictures from the Expedia web site very misleading.
When I got to the room there was no soap or towels and the dresser drawers were missing. There were 2 beds with a total of 3 pillows.
The door did not seem very secure and there was no dead bolt lock.
When I saw the room I returned to the "office" and gave the key back. There was no way I could spend a night there
