Although it is an older motel, it was clean, clean, clean! The shower was spotless, the sheets were clean, the towels (although old, too) were clean.
The best part was continental breakfast (which was not advertised). The manager husband-wife team provided coffee, tea, oatmeal, etc. and homemade banana bread. This did not come out of their budget but rather their pocket. A tip jar was provided, and after two days of generous breakfast delights, I was happy to drop in a $20.
The price was good; the folks were nice; and I'd be happy to stay there again for my next Malone-area historical re-enactment trip.
