Englehart Motel

budget friendly but poorly maintained Room was clean (enough) but poorly maintained and very dated. Tap in tub dripped all night, bathroom fan vent cover hanging by one screw, sink had a hole rusted completely through, shower curtain ripped, etc. View from room -- not spectacular

towels had stains on them.

Could be a bit more modern with appliances in the room

It was fine. Not a bad stay on balance. I was worried when we checked in as a hole in the sink had been patched with what looked like industrial tape, our bathroom fan didn't work and it was dark in there with 1 of 2 bulbs functional, and we had no hot water. Or at least we didn't think we had hot water. It turns out you just have to run the tap for 15-20 minutes to get the hot water running. LITERALLY. We also only had 1 towel and no extra toilet paper. It was eco-friendly, but I think it was a budget decision rather than an attempt to make the world more sustainable. That being said, the beds were comfortable, even if the room was a little cold, even with the thermostat cranked. My Dad installed a fake thermostat for me at home as a child so I'm actually used to that touch of home. Anyway, we slept well and although we weren't quiet, the hotel generously left us enjoy our gathering into the early hours of the morning. Breakfast at the restaurant was alright. I didn't read the description of the western omelet, so I had what amounted to scrambled eggs with bits of broccoli in it. No ham. Coffee was $6, and they charged us for an extra $6 coffee when we filled our thermos for softball. That felt a little punitive. The front desk was responsive to requests and we about an hour late checking out, but they kindly let that go for us. Staff were generally helpful but deadpan. Honestly, I'll probably come back. I'm a sucker for a familiar place. Cheers!

Run away. Or keep driving! Do not stop here. I was driving a moving truck and trailer across country and stopped here for a night. My first experience was getting stuck in the mud that they call a parking lot. One other customer told me he was stuck earlier in the day, but managed to get himself out with four wheel drive. When I told the hotel owner that I was stuck, he offered me half a bag of salt and said that’s how they got out the moving truck that was stuck last week. He said he didn’t have a phone number for a tow truck, and walked away leaving me stuck in the middle of the lot. Thanks a lot. Great customer service. The room: the bathtub and sink were pretty rusty and the whole room was very outdated. Half the night, I heard kids running and yelling in the hallway. I was also woken up several times by yelling and arguing somewhere around. Like others have said the owner seemed to be pushing me to visit the restaurant and cared more about it than the motel. Having seen my room, I wouldn’t dare eat in the restaurant. I contacted a local garage in the morning, got a tow and left. If customers are getting stuck in areas of your parking lot wouldn’t you rope that area off? Or put up some pylons?

Should be a 1-star One of the diviest places we've ever stayed. No second lock on the door. Terrible mattress. No coffee machine. No screen on the window. Two hand towels, one washcloth and one tiny bath towel. Old blue tub with chips in it. Golden yellow upper tub. Should be a one star.
