Seemed brand new!
Very clean and comfortable. Seemed like everything was brand new. Air conditioner made some strange noises during the night and wifi was in and out but overall it was a very affordable and nice stay.

This is older motel that has been completely redone. My room was small as the older motels were, but in perfect condition. It was so clean it felt like I was the first person to stay in that room. The bathroom ,again small but nicely redone including a glass walk-in shower. Even the parking lot was spotless, to the point that leaves were swept-up daily.Thank you for a comfortable 3 day stay!

The property has been completely updated. The room was great, comfortable and clean. The outside retains the vintage vibe that drew us here in the first place. The guy at the desk was friendly and was very interested in what we thought about the property.

Second time staying here. We had an event locally that started before check-in time, so we asked to park our car since we were taking Uber. Turns out our room was ready so they let us check in early and keep our stuff safely in the room. They were wonderful! Super clean room again, quiet location, great price. Definitely our go-to in that area to stay!

I chose this motel because of a previous Travelocity review. And they were spot on. It is a small motel that may not look AMAZING from the outside but everything is brand new inside. I have never seen such clean bathrooms at a motel/hotel. The decor is a bit old looking in the room but who cares! It’s spotless. The staff is so friendly. I would highly recommend this motel.

This has to be the nicest affordable motel I've stayed in. The space was immaculate, everything was new (I learned from elsewhere that this motel had been hit by the tornado back in 2021), and it was very quiet. The only thing about the room is the bed was quite hard, but not unbearable. Check-in was quickish, although a little odd. Normally staff fills out any papers besides signatures or makes a copy of ID but instead I was given a slip with the same information requests listed multiple times and not instructed how much actually needed filled out. It seemed redundant but I also didn't want to leave anything blank so I felt silly either way. Aside from that insignificant notation, this will definitely be my first choice for a stay if we return to Bowling Green again in the future.
