I was in a real big pinch when I booked this hotel last minute. I was fleeing from a really abusive situation at home with no where else to go, and the manager kindly let me regroup in a room while I got the funds together to pay for the room. 

I went from having exceptional service to absolutely terrible service and I honestly don't think I could ever stay at this hotel again unless I absolutely have to. Granted, I wasn't the most conventional guest, but I did clean up after myself and tried to be as polite as possible until I snapped a fuse after being treated so unkindly. 

Here are my complaints: 

-My room did not have blinds on them. There were several men who would sit outside their rooms and stare into my room, as well as onlookers who stared in as they walked by. I felt like a zoo animal. I tried putting up sheets/towels but the walls were so gross I couldn't get the covers to stay up. I mentioned the blinds situation to the front desk staff but nothing was fixed. 

-There were several guests at the hotel (I am assuming ones that are live-in) that gave me extremely creepy vibes. I don't know if people are screened before being able to stay at his establishment--I highly doubt it--but my dog was not a fan of these men, and that made me really really uncomfortable, considering my dog is only aggressive to people, especially men, who he can sense have done some really unkind things. Therefore, I think background checks should be necessary before having people live-in on the property. It only makes sense considering there are also children living on site. For the safety of the kids at least, please, please have some decency to protect them. 

-The curbs are super high on both sides of the motel, and the paint is very faint. I almost fell of the curb several times, and had inquired at the front desk to see if something could be done to get those painted, (even going so-far to offer to paint the sides myself cause I had yellow paint with me) but my request was denied. There is a law-suit waiting to happen when and if someone falls off the curb and breaks their neck, god forbid that ever happens. 

-There is only one maid for the whole motel and she works her booty off just to get treated like crap. She has been working at this motel for 20+ years and needs some help. I was looking for a job in the area and even offered to be on service for cleaning duties, but was told "no other housecleaners were needed". TJ deserves some help and someone needs to advocate for her and for the sake of the hotel guests. 

-There are no ramps/elevators/escalators in the whole hotel, and only one wheelchair accessible room (from what I saw). I had essentially my whole life with me since I was moving across the state, and had zero help with my bags during my stay. I almost fell down the stairs several times trying to repack my car, and all I got in return were stares from the manager and other guests at the motel. Did anyone from the hotel offer to help me? No. Is that ok to treat customers like that? Never. 

The beds in the rooms are suuuuuuuuuper old, the WIFI is terrible and only half the things in the room worked (no functional TV, leaky toliet, leaky shower, uncomfortable beds and uninviting decor. I cut myself on the side of one of the beds and was highly considering going to urgent care to get a tetanus shot cause I was concerned I may get tetanus. (conincidently, I got bit by a dog the week before and was already updated on my tetanus and other bacterial vaccines so that was not necessary). Some sort of padding or something needs to be placed on those beds because that is a safety hazard. 
 
-I asked for a late check out and was denied my request. I had a lot of stuff to clean and a lot of stuff to pack up, and had explained that, but was still denied. That is uncalled for. Especially when I didn't even get help in packing my stuff up. I did snap and yell at the manager, but I was extremely dehydrated, it was hot as hell outside, I was frustrated, and no one was helping me. So yes, I do apologize for the one time I treated management poorly there, but all in all I was a cherub of a guest compared to some of the other people staying there. And I could go into what I think is going on at this hotel, but I will hold my tongue for now until I decide if I want to file a law suit or not. 

From what seemed like a cute, refreshing haven in checking in, turned out to be an absolute nightmare. All I got out of my stay were stares and laughs it seems, and I wasn't the one laughing. 

But honestly, who gets the last laugh in this situation? 

A lot needs to be done at this place. And I hope things are fixed soon cause somebody is going to get hurt, whether it is from the unsafe physical conditions of the motel, or some of the unsavory guests that stay there.

Will probably never stay at this hotel again if things aren't fixed.

My room was clean, updated, great sheets ( bring your favorite pillow). House cleaning as great - thank you!!!  Yes there are residents - but of $60 - it's clamping compared to camping.  I'll be back - hit Sams down the road for breakfast.  Thank You Trail Motel.

I Like This Budget Place - What's the Fuss?

The room I stayed in was in dire need of fresh air.  Opening a window on the parking lot side resulted in wafts of cigarette ash and the smell of cigarette butts.  Ashtrays were located in between every two rooms.  Permanent residents of the motel frequently smoked outside their rooms.  Smoke found its way into the room every time the door was opened.  Unfortunately, one window on the side of the motel opposite the ash trays was broken and did not open.  The bathroom window was small and did not help much with air flow.  This motel is okay for smokers looking for a cheap room, but non-smokers will have to tolerate the nasty smell.  The office attendant seemed uninterested in being there to welcome guests.  The bed was fine, but the pillows were old and flat.  Combining all four pillows equated to one pillow.  The walls are thin enough that you can hear snoring from the neighbor's room.  Highway noise was also evident, but to be expected.  The walk into town from the motel is short and easy.

Smoker's Delight

It’s dirt cheap for a reason, it’s a dump.  Slept in our ski cloths on top of the beds. Room on the 2nd floor, floors we saggy and squeaky with every step.  Bathroom had mold imbedded in the seal around tub.  Don’t bring the wife and kids, or girlfriend.  Thought it would be a decent place to sleep and shower, didn’t do either.  Couldn’t wait for daylight to get out.

Not Recommended at any Price

This hotel would be just fine if it was clean. The lobby had a Sam Elliott kind of guy working the front desk. Seemed nice, cordial, smoky smells. The room itself was a little dated and small, like an older Motel 6, ok...I paid $45 including tax. I expect nothing more. My issue is cleanliness. The coffee pot had been used, but they didnt clean it, shower had grime on the bottom & it was deep heavy grime, I took lysol wipes to common areas, and it was a 50/50 shot if it needed more than one. Bed was comfortable enough which surprised me as it looks underwhelming. For this cheap you can provide little to nothing, but cleaning is a must. 

Cleaning issues

This room was clean although sparse.  It did have a nice microwave and mini-fridge, coffee pot and flat-screen TV. The mattress was comfortable, and the sheets and towels were clean.  Needed a lamp though.  The ceiling light was super bright and kind of annoying. 

Great for the price

First visit was good when we where there a yr ago and we got the rm we asked for. This last time very disappointed with this place. Called 3/4 weeks before visit asked for certain rm told no problem we could have it but at check in nope totally wrong rm not the rm we asked for.  Get into rm.... which was upstairs when one we requested was downstairs...and ugh not as we recalled to first time. Went to turn tv nope not happening and the WiFi access code didn't work at all. After first hr to hr & half decided to go search out sites to pass time. When got back still no WiFi and husband asked bout tv issue which guy came to attempt to help told us will be right back needed to go talk to manager and never returned matter of fact no one came back to help. Husband watched the guy pack up his family into car and just leave. Rm was in need of very much some tlc to even be stayed in. Nevertheless we stayed one night only after paying for two nights.. yes I went got second night money back cuz wasn't gonna stay another night in this place. We will not be back to that place even if in need of a place we will make the best of staying situation even if have to stay in car for a night. This place will never get more of my hard earn money. I'm being very nice by giving one mark and that's cuz on phone they seem nice & willing to do what they can for guest. Pic is from rm...sad sad

Disappointed never again

Decent enough place to stay heading cross country on the 90. Old, two story roadside motel that really feels its age. Air con is in a corner making it hard to cool the whole room. Mattress is old but clean and comfortable, as was the whole room. Amazing tv station options, though. Crappy wifi, but could have been my cell.
Great price and a good night's sleep made it worthwhile.

It'll do

Very reasonably priced, clean, comfortable room.  he was very efficient and helpful.  It was located conveniently to eating places. It had laundry machines available a few doors down.  I was happy, I would recommend this place others, if you are not picky about little things.

Very reasonable price, clean room, beds

The floors in the bathroom could have been cleaner but overall this was a comfortable room for the price. Amenities such as a refrigerator and coffee pot were included. There seems to be a lot of people living here and loitering about outside and it felt like we needed to be very careful about keeping everything locked up. Also, parking is an issue here. There are live ins taking up many of the spaces.
