Clean room - Spencer’s coffee across the road. I’d take a clean motel room at a lower price and pay for a better quality breakfast any day over a “continental” at a higher priced chain. Perfect for a comfortable sleep stop on the road between Florida and home

Needed somewhere that felt quick, clean, and safe. Parking lot is well lit. Overnight, the office is locked so you have to speak to attendant through a little window, and it was a little hard to hear him, but check in was quick. The room we stayed in seemed updated fairly recently. The whole building seemed that way actually. Single queen bed room, only 2 pillows. Soaps weren’t fancy or anything, but it’s enough if you’re just stopping through. If you’re bougie, bring your own comfort items lol.

Second stay, same room. Still clean, great family running the place! Quiet neighborhood behind the hotel to walk my dogs. Best of all even though I’m in a pet room, my room DID NOT smell like dogs! Very affordable and safe choice that I will make again! Thanks, Cardinal!

The room was very nice. Very clean. Very modern. And I like the colors of the building. The only issue, and this is the case at many motels, is that the wall heater is very loud when it goes on and off. Actually, thinking about it, if it had a continuous fan option, that would help. I should have checked. Many motels lack the continuous fan option. Any, this is not a big deal. Importantly, very nice, modern, clean room. And it was quite with respect to noise from people. Nice place!

Second time staying here. No fancy bells and whistles but the place is spotless and safe. Very convenient to WKU. Will probably stay here again next year.
