4/10 Fair

Friendly staff at check-in and appreciated the nice 'goody bag' treats! Room had a slight dingy odor and lots of spiders! Could definitely use more thorough cleaning and sprucing up from the older motel structure. Definitely overpriced for the value :(

Great little property for staying in townsend for a couple days. No frills, great price and very near grocery stores and restaurants. The room was immaculate and well updated for the age of the structure. Its a nice step back into private entry style motels.
