I lived here for a year and I loved it. Page is very awesome and her son in just adorable and her fice is really nice too. The rooms were very clean when we moved into them . They always ask if you want clean towels or sheets and toilet paper.

I had car troubles on I-70 and after being recommended this place by the mechanic, I went there. The outside doesn't impress much, but the inside of the rooms look newly renovated and clean. The in house managers were kind and accommodating to my needs. 100% going back there of I'm going through Missouri.

I was on a trip just over a year ago with my bf( I know I'm late writing this review) and we were arriving from a straight drive from NY and the owners were very accommodating and hospitable. I cannot for the life of me remember her name but she had the sweetest most adorable son. The owner and her friends even offered us food from a cookout they had and we made new friends. We were starving after the trip we just had. Not even my own family or friends are this hospitable and caring so its nice and incredible to meet strangers that go out of their way to make sure you have a nice meal after a long ride. Thank you so much for you and your friends hospitality. Also the motel rooms were perfect for our 1 night stay.

Me and my boyfriend have been staying here since May or June and Paige will go above and beyond to help you. The rooms aren't perfect but we've had no problems with bugs . Thank you very much to the staff for being so generous.

The price is cheapest around. We paid $280 for 7 days. They are nice rooms with regular beds in them. I think their a little hard but that my preference and everybody's different. The bathrooms are nice, it only has a stand up shower in it though and they are big enough for 1 person comfortably but my fiancee' and I still shower together in them. Pros- -Price is good for weekly. -Owners/Managers are awesome and leave you alone unless you go to them. They have been more than patient with my rowdy family. -They are easy on how many kids can stay in your room. -its a regular key to the doors instead of a card to keep up with. -They keep the area very clean and nice. Cons- -The nightly price is a lil too steep I think. But again my opinion..... -They don't allow animals even though they have a grassy area that they could be chained up at, but with the price we're paying I can't complain, no where else would either. -The wifi sucks in certain rooms but great in others. -The laundry is expensive, the washer is the same as everywhere else's but the dryer is $200 to even start it and that won't dry them if it's a very big load but the managers work with us on it and we have a large family. -All the rooms are non-smoking and not much shady area to smoke in summer unless you go around back, but again now days no where else would let you either.

A great place to stay! Clean, modern, and comfortable room. The exterior does not do justice to the inside of the rooms. My husband and I are on bicycles so we stay in inexpensive places to save money. This room was within our budget and roomy enough for our bikes! Room does not smell moldy and gross like a lot of the places we have stayed along our journey. Great location since we don't have a car, restaurants around and ice and drinks available right next door to a gas station. Refrigerator, microwave and WiFi all work great. I would highly recommend The Classic Motel!
