This was a great little hotel. The owner was very, very friendly and helped get me into an accommodating room right away. The area was very nice. I felt safe. I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you are on a budget. Very budget friendly but clean, friendly and safe. Nice area.

We needed a place to stay and this did the job, but..,a little grimy in places. Staff was friendly but she seemed a bit overwhelmed and struggled with check in.

We arrived around 3:10 pm at the motel. Very disappointed. Bathroom was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Bathtub was stained and terribly dirty. Nothing good on the TV, so we watched a movie on our iPhone in bed. I can’t stress enough how filthy the bathroom was. Will not be returning.

The room was great, but the bathroom was less than desired. It was surprisingly large well layed out room. However, the bathroom was not clean. This may be because it was a last minute booking though

A Place to Lay Your Head

A little worse for wear. Still, a nice old-school motel for people on a budget, looking for a place to lay their heads for the night. I would return.

Hotel canceled the afternoon of our reserved night

We booked several weeks in advance through hotel.com called the afternoon while we were traveling and told us they had a problem with our room and could not accomodate us as planned. We had to call around to find a hotel at the last minute. We still have a charge for that night where a credit is required to our credit card.

I can't really rate it because they gave away my paid for room prior to my arrival. And yes - I arrived about 45 minutes prior to the 11:00 p.m. office closure. Neither would they refund my money explaining that it could only be refunded to Expedia.

Old old old! And dirty

The room was okay but dirty, the bed sheets had blood stains on them and the bathroom was disgusting, nothing the cleaning service could do, the entire place needs overhauled, there were hardly any rooms taken and they put us next to someone who I suppose lives there and they weee up all night talking and laughing. So much for some peace and quiet. The girl at the front desk was very nice and personable but I would never stay here again or recommend this hotel

The property itself is in a great location, the room was clean, but the outside was dirty, and not kept up, seating areas outside the rooms were litter strewn and loaded with cigarette butts. The location was convenient and restaurants were close by. And like I said the rooms were clean

The room was dark, damp, and dirty. When we arrived, it was like driving onto the set for a horror movie. I was so disappointed; I stayed here decades ago and it was wonderful. Do not stay at the Hancock Motel!

I have an interest in old motels. This one was clean and had everything needed, especially a nice shower and a comfortable bed. Nothing was new or fancy, which is fine with me. Microwave and refrigerator worked fine. Heater was a bit noisy but worked perfectly. I was very happy to spend a night at Hancock Motel.

Location of this motel for my travel is good. Check In staff is friendly, courteous and professional. Property is dated. My bedside bulb was burnt out. Shower faucet is old, tight and hard to operate for a smooth flow of water.

Motel is a family-owned business that is dated-don't expect the Hyatt!!! Bathtub was dirty-we purchased bathroom cleaner and cleaned it ourselves before using. Bed was old-but it was so soft-great sleep.

Read reviews before booking “good deals “!

The bed was clean and the air conditioning worked-I guess I shouldn’t have expected more for the price. Carpet and upholstery were stained. Plumbing made load noise. I actually drove past thinking it was abandoned.

Very nice little place to stay. The rooms give off a “grandma’s house” kind of vibe (the smell is there, too. Not in a bad way, not humid at all.) I slept well, the beds were cushy (maybe a bit too much for me, personally). They allow dogs ($15 fee) and have a specific potty area for them with waste bags provided. Laundry services were also available ($1.50 in quarters for washer, $1.00 in quarters for dryer). The staff was very friendly and it appeared they have coffee to buy. The bathroom does have some poor circulation, and the tub drained slowly but did drain the water. Would stay again.
