Check this out. I've been driving through the northwest with my fiance for two days, 14 hours a day. We get off the freeway in Oregon en route to some random hotel I picked using my GPS. In the town of Rosenburg, I make an illegal U-turn, just as a cop car pulls around the bend. I think he's going to pull me over, but no. He's after two derelicts drag racing through the empty streets at 2am. We pull up to the random motel and it's seriously sketchy. The whole town, in fact has a somewhat sketchy vibe. The motel looks like a place where you could get raped or shanked before turning on the tv.

We beeline out of there and see this disarmingly sweet-looking motel on our right. It's charming and has flowerboxes outside the windows. I am skeptical of this motel as it looks... too sweet. My fiance goes in to wake up the owner and pay the $50 for the room. Inside the room was... magical. I felt as though I had been transported into a fable or children's story from yesteryear and was actually in the woodland house of some kind fairy godmother. Antiques prevailed around the room. One of the nightstands was an antique sewing machine from the turn of the century. I have never, in all the years I've been alive, encountered that in a motel, and certainly not in one that cost a mere $50.

Hand embroidered linens, antique lace. I fought with my fiance over the remote, but all in all it was a delightful stay. The owners have fastidiously decorated the rooms with love and more importantly, good taste.

Anyone who gives this hotel less that five stars certainly lacks some of that.

Was surprised that such an inexpensive motel could be rated #1. But it was one of our best finds during our 20 day vacation. They have a very nice garden area where you can relax and enjoy some of their unique outdoor decor. The room was decorated just like an old time home. It also had a separate room with a full kitchen. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a pleasant inexpensive place to spend a night or longer.

The owner clearly enjoys decorating houses, from the pictures on the wall and bed sheet to kitchen towel and plates, it is clear he/she truely loves and takes pride in the property. It is so unique and nicely done. Also it is very well maintained and clean.
The full sized kitchen and two recliners are nice added amenities.
The restaurant she recommended doesn't disappoint either.
There is some amount of noise from the street traffic though, that's why I'm only giving it a 4 star.

Clean and cozy and delightful! The flowers were beautiful and the place is immaculately well-kept. Our room had lots extras--flat-screen TV, fridge, microwave, free WiFi, nautical decor. There was a little bit of traffic noise until things died down for the night, and it was kind of warm (no a/c), but all in all, we got more than our money's worth. I don't expect ANY frills for $50 a night, much a less a place this charming!
