stayed at the Scott Motel while passing through town, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice! The location is incredibly convenient, situated right on E 3rd St, making it very easy to find. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine Southern hospitality. The rooms are spotless, smell fresh, and the beds are surprisingly plush and comfortable—exactly what you need after a long day on the road. The owners are polite and attentive, and it’s clear they take great pride in making their guests feel welcome. It has a very peaceful, homey atmosphere without any unnecessary noise. This place is a true hidden gem that offers great value for your money. Highly recommended!

Been staying here a couple nights, peaceful and welcoming, wish the rooms were remodeled a bit but that’s okay. It’s somewhere to stay if you’re looking for somewhere.
