We have stayed at the Cozy Rest Motel before so knew it was basic lodging. This is fine with us as it is clean and previously felt safe. Unfortunately this trip we were woken to loud banging on our door around midnight. Quite a startling experience. Fortunately, another individual promptly approached the “confused” door banger and escorted them away. Would prefer if doors had a secondary lock as this would have made this situation less concerning.

Very nice hotel that has been updated on the inside, just not the out. However, don't let that detour you from booking this hidden gem.

The folks who own and run the place are very gracious, and accommodating. It wasn't at all what I expected. They keep it neat and clean. You can tell there is new ownership. Compared to past visits, it is much, much better.
