Easily worth it for the...

Liked: • The motel's setting is very nice, very pretty courtyard (with BBQ and fire pit). Beautiful in late autumn.• The room was nice enough, and I had a King end unit with windows facing both west and south, so good natural light, and the late afternoon light into the room was golden.• Satellite TV service wasn't bad.
Disliked: • Hot water supply to that office side of the complex is inadequate, only a warm shower was possible at max hot setting, and it took leaving the water running for several minutes to even get there (I was warned about this at check-in and could have taken another unit on other side, but this one was furthest from the road and its noise, and had great afternoon light, so I decided to take this drawback). Great candidate for a point-of-use water heater like those found often in Britain and Ireland. • On one of the nightstands there was an unusable phone with no power supply and a table lamp not plugged in and no outlet behind the stand to plug into, anyway. Strange to have either there.

This iconic motel was okay...

Liked: Half the price for room in August compared to nearby hotels. Good location near Ironstone in Murphys. where we attended a concert. As expected, small & old yet clean. Plastic chairs & table outside the door with an ashtray for smoking. Air conditioner kept us cool. Bed comfortable enough. Accommodating and efficient check-in person.
Disliked: Very small room & measly towels. Too few and inconvenient electrical outlets. Had to switch sides of bed for husband to plug C-Pap in at night. Chairs at table in room uncomfortable. No comfy chair. Air conditioner worked well but made clunking sounds. Had to ask for clean towels second day.
