Jerry's Motel is exactly that... a motel. If you are expecting a hotel, then don't book here. If you are expecting a clean, family run, friendly place to sleep, then you found the right place.
The family running Jerry's is a caring group and it's their effort that makes Jerry's Motel more then a motel. For instance, multiple layers of paint on the bathroom door (clean and matching, just paint)- a motel. A welcome bag of goodies upon arrival- a positive, focused family proprietor keen on good service and atmosphere.
The area is ok, I would taxi or drive to places but wouldn't walk at night to downtown or anywhere else. The place is close, but not 'there.' Free parking for the drive and a taxi is a phone call away (which Jerry will make if you phone the front desk).
In a nutshell, I'll happily return and appreciate the option Jerry's provides.
