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 Looks typical from the outside, but the rooms are super clean and tidy (if somewhat outdated).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.
Very clean, very comfortable beds, lovely staff who accommodated a bit of an early check in and very promptly informed me of an item I accidentally left behind. I would stay here again

It was a pleasant surprise. Rated as a two star
Motel but a lovely motel, it didn’t disappoint
The welcome was great, the room looked nice, the property is modest but comfortable, the air conditioner was on low so the room would be cool when I arrived. All was well until I turned down the bed and found three long black hairs and one short one on my side of the bed. It was obvious the sheets had not been changed. That is a cleaning issue...the woman at the desk was very nice. I will not go back.
Amazing stay! Great location, super clean quiet rooms (no noise at all between rooms). Hot shower water with removable shower head (always a bonus) Very comfortable beds. Air conditioner in room was quieter than most too!
As an added bonus there were deer roaming the property.

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!
It's a little picturesque motel right in the middle of the town. Very convenient, clean, affordable, and the room was very spacious. Would come back again.
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.
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.
