What guests think

Dogwood Motel is an older, budget-friendly roadside stay where many guests appreciate clean, comfortable basics and value, while others report dated decor, inconsistent maintenance, and occasional cleanliness or odor issues that can affect the experience.

Beds are frequently described as comfortable, but issues like weak or noisy A/C, plumbing problems, and worn fixtures appear in multiple reviews. Service is commonly praised as courteous and helpful, though there are a few complaints about unhelpful responses, strict policies, or refund disputes. An outdoor pool is on site with mixed reports—from clean and lit to temporarily closed—and parking at the door is convenient. Overall, expect a simple, retro motel that suits value-focused travelers comfortable with uneven upkeep.

It is an older roadside motel that appears to have been refurbished more than once over the years. You can park directly in front of your room door. The facilities that I saw and used were clean and worked. Room was air conditioned (without problems), rooms were nice, beds were comfortable , the bathroom facilities worked and did not leak, (they could use a better brand of bar soap, and no gel soap was available) and the coffee pot worked. Did not use their pool, but others did. The two staff members (owners?) I saw saw were nice. I had no complaints about the place and would stay there again.

Our trip was Great, the Hotel was great, very friendly staff, the room was clean and comfortable. They are doing some remodeling the room was ready to be painted however it was still clean and nice, and the hotel was completely booked. The outdoor pool is clean and well maintained it has colored lights at both ends which is a nice touch. They never came out and made people get out at a certain time, like some hotels do. We will stay there again next time we come to town.great value for the price!!

Checked in at 4:30p.m. and upon entering the room the A/C unit was blowing heat. Turned on A/C to max and fan on high. After 2 hours the room had not cooled at all. The compressor would kick on and only run for 30-45 seconds then kick off and go back to hot air. Contacted the teenager operating the front desk. He came to the room and asked me if I turned on the A/C when we got there. I didn't even bother qualifying that with an answer. He then said the A/C was operating properly. I asked him to leave the room. At 4:30 a.m. the room had cooled to 75 degrees. That's 12 hours after check-in with the unit on max cool for 12 hours. Finally....I challenge you to stay there and NOT find blood stains on the sheets. I have multiple photos from several stays. I'm done with this place.

The room appeared clean when we got there, although my husband did not like the smell. Noticed on the corner of one bed, there were stains on the sheet. And we saw a couple of roaches. Staff was friendly, but tried to say whoever had stayed in that room last is where the roaches came from.

Staffc was good and friendly. Had 3 big issues. First, toilet leaked and kept refilling the reservoir every 8 minutes. Had to turn off water to keep it quiet. Second, TV image coIor would turn to 60's multi colors. It did this several times. When I talked to the staff, they said it was because of games being played on the TV prior to our visit. If so, why didn't they correct it and why did it keep reverting to the strange colors several times. Finally, there was a separation in the floor moulding near the bed and bathroom that we kept hitting during the night. Overall, we had an average experience, but wish they would take more pride in their maintenance.

It is a 1960's hotel that has seen better days. It is fine if you are passing through a need a place to stay at 10:00 p.m. Do not expect a modern updated hotel. It is clean but worn.

Had a problem with the TV. Staff came right away to check, and found a former occupant had used a fire stick that changed the format resulting in no reception. TV was reset and worked fine. Staff was courteous and friendly then, and also at checkout, even recommending where to have dinner. Room was clean and adequate for the price.
