Despite all of the outward judgments that are typically associated with the State Motel, I personally have had a great experience and satisfactory stays while here (3 separate times during 2022). Angie and Louie are good people, keeping up their property accordingly and doing well at their job overall. Love the single rooms, as well as the double suites, they are clean, pristine, and well-maintained without excess frills that are unnecessary in the long run. Don't judge a book by its cover NOR listen to souls who don't know how to act or take decent care of things, much less themselves. Will stay here again for my Air BnB stay soon.

Angie n Louis who run the place r friendly polite n willing to help out as much as possible. Been here for over 2 months n they r great. They get 2 know u by name which in my opinion they care about there guests. Never had a single problem w this motel, which is a first. Ya it's a low end motel but for the price u can't beat the location. Would keep coming back here. I recommend the place. Water is hot, dog friendly, other guests have been real friendly. Everyone watches 4 everyone. Rooms r spotless when u move in. They answer almost every q u ask w straight honesty. Best motel on state st.
