Colonial Motel and Pancake House

Straight mom and pop, seriously. Frank helped his brothers and dad build this place 47 years ago and he’s the only one left now, 84 years old (his wife told us all this when we were checking in). Then out comes ol’ Frank, proudly sporting his Dallas Cowboys hat that looks like it’s been around since Staubach played. Extremely nice couple trying to hang on to the place these days it seems. The wife said they sure could use the business, and I’m all about supporting a place like this.
Not that I needed a reason… the price is among the lowest you’ll pay anywhere, and you just cannot get this built-​with-​my-​own-​two-​hands charm at some chain spot. The room I’m in is quaint, wood paneling and you can tell it was built by caring hands and maintained by the same all these years. Clean room, plenty of nice clean towels and get this – two full size bars of Ivory soap. 2 sinks, nice soft king bed, fridge TV microwave, dresser, just a nice cozy place that you’ll never see at some cookie cutter chain motel. The Mrs. (wish I had gotten her name) told us to be sure to make it for breakfast, which I’m certain will be excellent. Don’t pass this place up.
Disclaimer: they don’t have WiFi. But I still say it’s well worth staying here if you can live without it.

FYI. This is the Pancakehouse review only. We did not stay at the motel. Located across from the McDonalds. If you are looking for a down-​home simple cozy warm family friendly place, I would happily recommend. Pretend you are seated at your grandma’s kitchen table with a vinyl covered tablecloth and she is baking fresh biscuits and gravy and you got the picture. The young lady waiting on us was so welcoming and attentive. She never let a thing go missed. Super sweet and very simple.
