Summary: This quaint motel was comfortable and the owner was friendly and helpful. It has a very cozy feel with almost family style continental and small but nice rooms with lots of retro touches. It appeared clean and well-maintained though somewhat dated in the decor (the parts that were not retro). The pool was nice for a cool off after walking around town. We also walked around the lake by the motel in the morning which was peaceful. Parking was easy and the short drive to town was no trouble to keep us out of any noisy area.

Summary: The staff member who checked us in went out her way to see that all went well, even when I somehow exploded the Keurig coffee pod. The setting is beautiful and offers a nice loop walk around the lake.

Summary: Fun place! Older but has lots of fun retro stuff to give it lots of style! Refrigerator had a real freezer which really helped us with our cooler!

Summary: The room was very clean and absolutely perfect. Lady with the dark hair at the front desk was also very friendly. I could not have picked a more perfect place to stay after a long day on the road. What a blessing this place was. Thank you so much five stars.

Summary: Very nice. A real motel. My one concern is that the bed was not nearly firm enough for my taste.

Summary: From start to finish Paula and her husband were the best owners ever! The room was wonderful, vintage everything and everything worked! Great breakfast and it was wonderful that Paula joined us and we got to know some about her and the family! Wish they were in every town on Rt 66! And Carthage was a great town to explore! Even got some treasures at a yard sale!

Summary: Very clean room. Softest sheets I've ever had at a hotel. Easy access to highway and city of Carthage. Shower was a little small but nice hot water. Parking right infront of your room. Nice small lake next door to walk around or fish at.
