Will never stay here again. The staff was nice. We were scared to sleep on the beds they were stained and gross. The shower was stained. There was no hot water at all. The room smelled like cigarette smoke. It was awful.

The bathroom tub wouldn't drain ants all over the place. Ant in suitcase. People are standing outside the room, smoking cigarette. When there's supposed to be a distance away. I've stayed here a few times this is the worst of the worst. I will never stay there again.

First of all, this place is just a typical motel, not a hotel - I don't know if there's an official definition or where they draw the line, but all place calling themselves motel look very much like this one. Friendly staff and good TV offering (watched two Paramount+ movies, that channel is fully accessible for free!) Wifi is OK (not great, but fast enough to stream stuff. On occasion it dropped out though). Missing towel rack in bathroom, one bedside lamp not working. Blanket not exactly thick, I had to turn on the heat blaster a few times as I was cold underneath the sheet. Overall,"meh" at best, and clearly just an emergency option for me when I travel.

Neglected doesn't begin to describe the despair in this crap hole! Someone please call the St Helen's health department and shut this place down! Don't even get me started on the fact that you have to pay a $60 cash deposit! What kind of gig are they running here!!! This place isn't work $20 a night! Disgusting!

Check in was easy, room was clean, simple but adequate. The odd thing was the requirement for a cash only deposit, made things kind of questionable, but we did get the deposit back on check out. Otherwise, it's a fine no-rills hotel.

Decent Motel. Due to weather we spent more time in the room than expected… A refundable CASH only deposit with no change option was a bit annoying. Had a $100 bill that had to go to bar to get change…

I would like to request a refund. We had spoke to the front desk about a super late check in time. And when we arrived we never got let into our room. The front office had an open sign but nobody was around to ever help us out. We had to sleep in our car. We booked this place due to a big family party we had nearby so they mew we would be checking in late. But that wasn’t the case for us. We called multiple times and never received a call back or an answer.
