"I'd give 5 stars, but it is an older motel and has some issues. However, for what we paid, the bed was decent and the guy was super nice. The water here is super hard and it has old pipes. But for a shower and bed, we will stay here again next time we are up!"

"Every Friday they have all you can eat spaghetti and it is the best i have ate in my 36 yrs on this earth. Everything there is amazing it appears to be just a random little hole in the wall but it is by far some of the best food, don't get me started on the biscuits and gravy they are to die for. Try this food Friday all you can eat spaghetti for 8.00$ you won't regret it."

"Excellent value in a peaceful rural roadside in. Same owner since 1989! The owners take care of his property and the rooms are priced well. If your eyes are heavy and you need a room to sleep in for the night: do not hesitate to visit the Flamingo Motel! Bear in mind this is a value based motel. Everything in room 7 worked and the staff are terrific. Will stay again."

I did have to put up with a minor toilet leak. But it wasn't anything that the bath mat couldn't handle and I'm sure it's going to be fixed. And it has a very quaint heater that you may need to learn how to use. Although the very..."

"Such friendly staff and I dig the 50s vibe. Yeah it's old and the water's a bit sulfur-y but you can't complain when it's the best price around and it's clean well kept and comfortable. Plus the great deals at the attached restaurant"
