Well it as sure taken a change around here from 3 yrs ago. The new manager is very sweet and friendly they have revamped the rooms so no more stale bar smell,along with no bugs fresh paint on the walls along with some of the most amazing paintings on the walls(which the manager has painted herself. So if your in need of a room for the night or even longer and don't want to break your wallet it's in your best interest to swing by and check the city center motel out.

This place is truly a saving grace! My mother and I lost our home this past December, so we've been forced to stay between motels along with our 3 dogs and 1 kitty, so it's definitely been rough. Motels these days are an arm and a leg... we stay up in Springfield and the cheapest we could find was Motel 6 which no longer even does month to month and only does 7 days at a time (3 individual weeks at a time and then you have to stay off property for 2 days before you can stay again). Prices for 1 week are outrageous for rooms barely bigger than a bathroom ranging from 550-750 a week! Poor people like ourselves can barely survive with crap like that, let alone feed ourselves and animals... saving for a new place is near impossible. This place may be 20 min out the way from our normal, but not only are the rooms 2-3 times bigger, but they have a small dog run, which is the biggest plus, the cost is damn near half compared annnnd they can do monthly. Truly, our saving grace! So, I just wanted to leave this and say thank you from me and my family. With a world seemingly like it's designed to make us little people fail... it's small places like this that truly make the difference between surviving or not for some of us. Thank you
