I personally don't prefer to stay at motels, but this is one of two options in Houston, MO and the surrounding area (the other is also a motel). I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it is though. I've stayed here a couple of times and the rooms were clean. I felt relatively safe and there is a gas station conveniently next store. It'll feel a little old-fashioned to seasoned travelers because you have to book a room by phone and the rooms use actual keys, but the staff were friendly and seem to genuinely care about their guests. I haven't stayed at the other motel for comparison, but it's a good option if you are in the area and need to stay somewhere. read more
