Very relaxing and great place to stay. I've been staying here for about 2 months now and the lady in the front office is very helpful and she is available 24/7. Anytime I need anything she Is always there to help. The rooms are always clean and it's very quiet. No drama. I would recommend to anyone.

The man and woman that run the hotel are very nice and the lady is extremely helpful and respectful. She is always available to help. The rooms are clean and well kept. I had no issues with my fridge, tv, microwave, or anything else. It is quiet and located close to stores and fast food restaurants. Highly recommend

I spent the night here and had almost the best sleep of my life. The rooms were so clean. If I could I would stay here for as long as possible also the employees are super kind! I highly recommend it.

This place is a very descent stay for the price that you pay. The owners are kind and they are respectful of their guests. Even ones that are loud or rude 5hwy try to deal with correctly.the week + that I ha e stayed here and previous stays here have all been acceptable and sometimes above expectations. The rooms are clean and are constantly being upgraded as far as I can tell. I ha e always recommended this place 5o out of Towner's when I worked at the local wildlife refuge here. Because for a place to sleep and shower and be comfortable and relax it's the best larger hotel we have here in little Folkston. I have had bad experiences with both of the other motels here. Thanks tors Bonnie and her husband they are running this little place by just themselves. They are busy people and are very good to their guests. We all have bad days so don't take some of these reviews so seriously. But know that they are a good place to go stay in folkston!

We have stayed here in the past; the motel is small and dated, and not the cleanest place...BUT everything works as it should. Modern air conditioner, microwave oven, minifridge with separate freezer, coffeemaker with complimentary coffee and creamer, large modern LCD HDTV with cable, hair dryer, clothes iron. No house phone or alarm clock. We did not see any bedbugs, roaches, or other pests...and we checked! The beds were adequate but my pillows were a bit lumpy. Doors have card key locks with deadbolts and chain locks. There is an onsite swimming pool but on every one of our visits, it was drained and closed. This isn't the cleanest place, but it gets the job done, and as stated above, everything worked the way it was supposed to. We will return in the future.

This quaint motel delivers plenty for an affordable price. The owners were attentive and helpful. My room was very clean, although dated, and the shower delivered plenty of hot water. The bed, pillows, and linens were far above the quality expected for a motel at this price point. The location is convenient and a big grassy courtyard for pets. I'll certainly be back.

Stayed at this motel a couple times now and each time I don't regret it. The rooms are mostly clean and cozy, the price is fair and the people that run it are good people.
