Overall good value for the price.

The the room was pretty basic but it was clean and had been recently renovated. The bed was comfortably firm and even had lace edged sheets. Like every old motel you could pick up a hint of old smoke smell even though the room is now non-smoking. The lady at the front desk was polite and spoke English well enough.

Fair price, comfy bed, nice owners

Comfy bed, recently remodeled room. Nice not to have carpet. AC unit is loud, need a hook behind the door for hanging stuff. A small shelf would be nice next to bed between bathroom wall. Road noise can be heard and anything going on at gas station next door. We are in non smoking room but ppl smoke right outside our room and smoky air get sucked into our room by the AC unit. Smokers should walk farther away.

Drive to the door Carthage motel

The room was clean and comfortable, and not too far from Carthage center. It was a drive to the door motel on one level which is very handy. There was a lovely family restaurant within a 10 minute walk from the motel, and a mexican just over the road.

t looked like the room originally had a queen bed so when a king bed was put in there was very little room at the sides of the bed. There also needs to be a lot more electric outlets available in the room. Most people traveling today have a lot of devices that need to be charged. I had to run extension cords all over the room.
