It looked a bit shady from the outside but the room was clean. The bathroom was very out of date but again it was clean. We had a Jacuzzi tub in our room that was surprisingly large enough for me and my 6'3" husband. The bed was comfortable. There was woking mini fridge. The TV was modern. And the air conditioning worked great. There is a train that goes by very close to this motel but it only went by once while we were there.

The staff was AMAZING! The owner as well was extremely accommodating. I really have to give them props for handling us with such respect- we got in around 3a and they let us late checkout. The room was also very clean and comfortable. I have zero complaints and will absolutely stay again.

This is a basic motel located right off the highway. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, and the people running it are very nice. Although the furnishings are a little dated, it was refreshing to find a room with a bathtub instead of just the standard shower. The beds were very comfortable with soft linens. My wife and I have stayed here twice, 11 years apart. Both times were great.

Older style motel. Our room was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was great with very hot water. The A/C was very quiet . The lady that checked us in was very nice and friendly. We will definitely stay here again.

Stayed here for two nights. The rooms may look dated but honestly that didn't even take away from our experience. The air conditioner got so cold I could almost see my breath, it was heavenly. It was clean, comfortable, and we'll priced. Very happy we chose this place to stay.

I’m a sucker for a motel and this place fit the ticket. Friendly owners/staff, room was a little dated but neat & clean. We requested a non-smoking, but none were available. Not a problem. We’re flexible. Very happy to have found this place. We will be staying here again.

The Valley Motel is very nice very clean. I don’t care what anybody says about them. Andy and his wife are very nice very polite very amazing people and that’s why we like coming here like we do so whatever reviews people are putting online about handing his wife, don’t listen to it because they are very good people. They’re amazing. They’re wonderful and he has excellent rooms and very nice and me and my boyfriend. We have no problems running rooms off him.
