Outstanding value. Will stay there again. Rooms: Super cool vibe.  Room had a kitchenette with fridge, microwave, and sink. High quality linens as well.

    If you drove past the New South Motor Inn as you turn from I20 to head into Madison, you might think, “That’s different. It’s just like a 1950’s motel.”  Then you look up its website and you say, “Wow!  That’s cool!”  It’s a 2024 dream with contactless entry and perfect accommodations on the footprint of a real 1950’s motel! My husband and I spent a night there earlier this month. It is as comfortable — great bed, good shower, toiletries, Kerrigan coffee-maker,ample outlets, strong Wi-Fi — as any three-star hotel. More than that standard, however, it has CHARM. The decor is re-vamped to be bright and cherry while still whispering “1950’s” — note the Formica on the coffee bar. We had a wonderful night’s sleep and plan to come back next month.
