The room was less like a motel room and more a super comfortable guest room in the home of a good friend. Many homey touches and obliging and welcoming staff. This will definitely be our stop if we come back to St. Andrews!

The absolute nicest motel ever. Looks typical from the outside, but the rooms are super clean and tidy (if somewhat outdated). They were very helpful and friendly at check-in. And there are some tables set up in the shady yard where you can sit, enjoy a snack and beverage, play cards, and chill. We'd definitely stay here again if we return to the area.

It was nice watching the turkey with babies running around, also watching the beautiful deer coming to eat out of the birdfeeders

We love this place! Cute as a button! Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds and nicely furnished. Not far from downtown with so many wonderful stores and restaurants. We would highly recommend a stay here.

Picket Fence Motel has the friendliest and most helpful staff. Check in was a breeze and they were able to answer our questions. The room was quaint and VERY clean. Super quiet as well. The location was central and easy to get to everything by foot or by car. We loved sitting under the shade of the trees and watching Theresa the turkey and her babies having breakfast.

Nice little property, helpful staff, very comfortable beds. Nothing particularly unclean, although things showed signs of wear. Exquisite for the price point. Only thing I would ask to be improved is the quality of the locks.
