I don't want to say anything about this establishment that is not accurate. The owners are going to act as if they don't understand what you are saying. But believe me they are just acting. The rooms were not clean and staff was almost unseen. And they're rude.

I have nothing to complain about , here. Its within walking distance of things I found that I needed. Also fairly peaceful & quiet enuff. No pool, but I survived
My husband and I are long haul truck drivers, this is our second time staying here. We have stayed at a lot of motels and this one is probably one of the cleanest places we have stayed at. The rooms have nice tiled floors, granite counters and a full kitchen. The value is unbelievable and the internet is really good. I recommend Emil's Motel not just for the value, but the awesome staff as well.
Me, my husband and our two kids stayed here for a week. Nice clean room. Our room had a full size refrigerator, oven and microwave which I loved. Home away from home. Quite area didn't have any problems. Train tracks close by but it didn't bother us much.
For convenience the motel is near store, restaurants, library, park, RiteAid. Has stove/refrigerator. But you have to wash your own laundry. Friendly people. I don't know if they are pet friendly.
Great price for what you get. A full sized refrigerator and microwave. No coffee maker but right next door is a Chevron open 24/7. Have paid more for less. Definitely a good deal and fast friendly staff. I had an issue with the TV and it was dealt with quickly. Very satisfied. I work locally but when I just need to get away this is where I go.
Room was clean, nice set up with a microwave and fridge. Tommy from the storage was great. A total asset to the company. He helped us with all kinds of random things. The young lady at the Chevron was awesome too. We had a very nice stay, at a great rate.
