"Friendly welcome, spacious room, comfortable and economical. "

"The Mondello is a small Mom & Pop Family run motel. Within this context, I give them motel 5 stars. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was updated with a newer shower stall. I did not seen any modern chain motels in town. From casual outside of observation, this seemed like one of the better hotels in town. There is no elevator to the second floor. "
