    The Tell a friend Motel is the better choice of smaller motels in Vernon. Offering a safe residential location. The motel has a drive-thru parking lot and plenty of parking. Clean, comfortable and cozy.

    It was very clean for an old style motel. I felt like I stepped into my grandmother's old farmhouse, which had a comforting feel for me. It was comfortable and had everything you could possibly need, and then some. I would definitely stay there...

    Somewhat reminiscent of '50's or the '60's - comfortably furnished - everything a person would need, a great little place to stay. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable bed and pillows, portable a/c unit, a full kitchenette, good wi-fi...

    Cool, niche hotel. I didn't know what to expect and got so much more than I thought. Very rustic and quirky. Quiet, clean, comfy. Also, if you travel with an nes like some of us, the tv's will accommodate duck hunt!

    Quaint, nice little motel with all the comforts that you could ask for. Everything in our room including the decor was thoughtfully designed and placed. Loved the aesthetics!
