A very clean, very basic room
Nothing fancy, dated decor, old building, but it was very clean, no carpets, hardwood laminate. Beds were comfortable. Incredibly inexpensive, especially for Summerfest! I will absolutely stay there again!

Most aspects were good. Room had no air conditioner. A floor-stand fan was provided. Room was a few degrees too warm for comfortable sleep. Bathroom seemed recently-renovated and was clean. Staff was friendly and efficient.

This motel was very dirty, a plugged toilet when we got there, leftover soap still in the shower. Very noisy all night. Police showed up after very loud fireworks were going off or gunshots. Not sure yet.. A rough motel that’s for sure.

It was clean enough and in a good location.
There was not enough light in the room, no hangers, and no extra pillows. I asked, but there were no more pillows or hangers available.

The toilet was clogged and overflowed. Had to use a plunger. I asked for a printed receipt and was told I could not get one from the front desk. It was quiet at night. But probably the first and last time I'll stay there.

Very Disappointed
The bed was supposed to be a king size but was a queen. Could not adjust the thermostat so it was freezing in the room.
Not enough lighting. Room was dark.

Dark room, needs updating
Clean room but very dark, not enough lighting, no control over room temp, mattress and linens need to be updated. No kleenix or clock. Bathroom seemed updated but mirrors hung too low. Had to bend down to see my head in mirror (I am only 5'7"). Draperies were wrinkled and looked like they just came out of dryer all crinkled. Smoking obviously allowed in rooms in past but still had the smoke odor. Every room provided an ashtray outside of door which still allowed smoke to enter room especially if other guests were smoking with their door open. Older mom and pop motel but needs major updating on inside. Will not stay there again.

Wouldn't stay again for free
Check-in was fine. The gal who checked me in was friendly. Got to my room, which seemed clean enough, and at that point I thought it was going to be a decent stay for the affordable price it cost. I was wrong. Traffic from the busy road was bad, but it wasn't the worst part. There were people coming and going all through the night. One of the first ones called someone a "(expletive that starts with an f) idiot", then they literally burned rubber out of the parking lot. It sounded as if someone was going back and forth near my door with a suitcase on wheels. This may have been the person that cars came to see before quickly leaving thereafter. I was too sketched out to watch what was going on, but I could hear it. The thermostat was broke, or maybe it was just meanr to be made inoperable, but I had no control over the room temp. It was probably around 60-65 tops. The bed wasn't comfortable and made lots of noise when moving in it at all.
