Disliked: Room comfort
Sheets didn’t fit the bed mattresses look disgusting. Couldn’t control the air conditioning poor quality neighbors not good for a family.
I paid for a non-smoking room and it reeked of marijuana and irritated my throat. There was no air conditioner in the room and they supposedly controlled the air cond. from the main office. Non-smoking room and air conditioner was advertised. The staff in the main office were defensive. After a half hour there and an irritated throat they only offered me air freshener. I had to leave to sleep well and not have an irritated throat for my presentation the next day and find another hotel. I paid for a two night stay and they wouldn't even refund the second night when they could have maybe found another guest. The windows didn't open well and were grimy. They misrepresented the room and were surprised I left even though I paid for the stay. They were dishonest and took no responsibility. I think the other rooms were all booked to let me try another room. Hopefully no one is ever desperate enough to stay there. I am grateful to find another hotel nearby for a comparable price.
No.coffee available anywhere on property noisy rooms ..outdoor seating area is 2 unsafe plastic chairs..weeds grown up 4 ft.higj surrounding the " patio"
This property was awful. The rooms looked like they had t been cleaned in months. The beds looked like they had been slept in and never changed. The attendant was very rude. We didn’t stay here. We left and drove to our final destination. I would not recommend staying here!
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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Didn't get the room I reserved (no air conditioning). The single bed room was disgusting. The one chair in the room was not suitable for sitting in, nasty dirty. The curtain had a big burn hole. the cupboard was dirty and scratched up. The people they allow to stay there for housing were loud and scary. The couple next door fought half the night in and out of their room screaming at each other and slamming doors on both nights we were there.

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!
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.
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.
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.
About what i expected given the price. A better pillow abd another blanket would have been nice. Shower was ok. Lighting was poor even with lamps on. The center lighr above the dresser was poor
Room 116
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.
