[Julie, 04/14/2021]Built by the current owner's father in the late 1950s/early 1960s, this motel has extremely retro rooms at an affordable rate. The corner room with the combination sink/refrigerator/stove is a one-of-a-kind survivor of a bygone age of motoring. There's no connection to the Bates Motel from the film "Psycho," but staying overnight here is still worth some bragging rights.
[Dale Gray, 07/23/2019]Not worth going out of your way AT ALL. If you're in Vale, and I don't know why you would be, then drive by it and shrug.
