I booked a standard room through Expedia, but despite showing them my confirmation number, they were unable to find my reservation, and had no standard rooms available. I ended up being charged an extra $50 for a "balcony room". Given the error, i should have been given whatever room was available for the price of the standard room. This is a subpar place- not terrible, but not great, which I was expecting. That would have been fine for the original price I paid, but it definitely wasnt worth the extra $50. I'm not sure if the problem was Expedia's or the motel's, but I hope they sort it out so that others aren't put in a similar position.

The owners are awesome and are working hard to better the motel. It is clean and close to everything. This was my second time staying here and I will return. The customer service was great but the customer experience was even better! I was remembered from 2 1/2 months ago and given an upgrade! That makes me want to return!!!

Very warm in the rooms for a cold day, owners are very nice. Even though some people might think it’s low because of the area I was happy and felt welcomed once the owner helps me at the front desk. :)

I have been staying at the schell motel every year for the past 6 years to visit my grandparents in Vernon and wow has this place gone to the dumps. The first room we were given wasn’t cleaned, and clearly had been smoked in as well within being there for 2 minutes we had a homeless gentleman knocking on our door. We then transferred to a room upstairs which had cigarette burns in all of the bedding. And again had homeless people banging on our door at 7 in the morning, my daughter and I felt extremely unsafe. Clearly the drug addicted homeless have now moved into this motel, and the staff don’t do anything to maintain it. The pool wasn’t cleaned and filled with leaves plus we had to open it ourselves in the middle of the day. We will never stay here ever again, I miss the little old lady who used to run the motel. She was amazing. 10/10 do not recommend staying there.

Room we were first set up in smelled like an ash tray, had dirty towels on the floor, so we moved to another room. Questionable characters coming and going (drug users) Pool out of order, broken chairs, most certainly not looking like the photos advertised.
