Paul’s Motel

Paul’s Motel has operated on Lake Worth Road in Greenacres for around four decades, making it one of the older continuously run independent lodging properties left in this part of Palm Beach County. Like its neighbor a few doors down the same stretch of road, Paul’s represents the kind of small, family-style motel that used to be common along South Florida’s main commercial corridors before national chains consolidated most of the market. Anyone researching the property should know that Florida’s Division of Corporations lists the motel’s original corporate registration, Pauls Motel Inc, as inactive in current state records. That kind of administrative lapse is common among small, longtime family businesses that let a corporate filing lapse while the underlying business keeps running under the same ownership and the same name, so it is not necessarily a sign the motel has closed, but it is a detail worth flagging. Anyone planning a stay should call ahead to confirm current status and room availability before making the trip.

The motel is set up as a straightforward, economy-style property. Rooms are basic, and the building has the low-slung, single-story layout typical of the motor courts and small independent motels built along Lake Worth Road decades ago, long before the corridor filled in with strip retail and chain restaurants. What sets Paul’s apart from a lot of comparably priced lodging in the area is that the property is wheelchair accessible, a detail worth knowing for travelers or family members who need step-free access to their room, since accessibility is not something every small independent motel in this price range advertises.

Front desk hours run from 8 in the morning to 10 at night, which is standard for a small owner-operated motel that does not staff the desk around the clock the way a larger hotel would. Guests planning a late arrival should call ahead to make arrangements rather than assuming someone will be at the desk after hours.

Location-wise, Paul’s Motel sits on the same working section of Lake Worth Road as Treetops Motel, in the middle of Greenacres’ commercial corridor rather than in a resort or tourist district. That puts guests within easy reach of both directions on Lake Worth Road, west toward Jog Road, Haverhill Road, and the retail and services around Florida’s Turnpike, and east toward downtown Lake Worth Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway. It is a practical, no-frills base for anyone who needs a place to sleep in central Palm Beach County without paying resort rates, whether that is a contractor on a job, a family in town for a short visit, or a traveler passing through on Lake Worth Road itself.

Because Paul’s Motel is independently owned and not part of any franchise reservation system, the most reliable way to check room availability and current rates is to call the motel directly rather than relying on third-party travel sites, which may not reflect an accurate, up-to-date picture of a small property like this.
