We have stayed at Western Motel several times over the years, as it is a convenient spot to stay when making a trip to the Okefenokee Swamp. Motel/hotel lodgings are scarce in Folkston, but this motel has always been clean and comfortable, even though dated. If you just need working TV, lights, shower, good towels and a comfortable bed, you should be good to go here.

Quiet, clean room. Helpful host. Programmed key needed re-program next morning. One electrical outlet held phone phone charger too loosely to allow charge.

It was just one night to break travel. Friendly & welcoming man on reception. Room reasonable size, comfortable beds. No coffee maker but there was a fridge & microwave. OK shower with lots of hot water. Could do with upgrading but OK. Shame pool out of action. Short walk to food outlets but a visit to the Okefenokee national wildlife refuge is a must.
