dislike personal living quarters being part of office; messy and disorganized behind the desk the property is very obviously aged, so it is difficult to maintain cleanliness (which wasn't badly done) we managed to cool our bed space area by closing the kitchen door and having the air conditioner on all night no one available at checkout next day (until 10a) no phone number on the receipt PLUS expedia receipt and hotel receipt are not same

This was the worst hotel experience I've had. There were bugs in the room. The bathroom was filthy and had mold in the shower. The manager was not helpful and walked around with food stains on his shirt. When I asked him questions I couldn't understand a word he said. I would never recommend this hotel.

2 days before the check-in, the hotel called me to say they are cancelling the reservation because Expedia over booked their hotel. We had to cancel the trip itself because all other hotels were booked / overly expensive by then.

the place looks good from the outside, but don't let that fool you, have a look at your room before you take it. super outdated, peeling paint, 1960's air-conditioner that couldn't cool a bathroom nevermind the whole room, dirty hand prints on pretty much all the walls. Arrived 5 pm, opened door to 45 C blast furnace, the room reached 25 by 430 am just in time for us to leave, with no sleep. Would not stay there again even if they paid me.

The property really needs some TLC, and cleaning. The rooms have been smoked in, so masked with an air fresher which doesn't do any good only adds to a very very unpleasant order...

This place is a gem if you are looking for cheap

This place has the worse customer reviews. But overall I don't mind the place. It is a bit dirty and grungy. But very functional. I have a full size kitchen with toaster and coffee maker and a legitimate oven with cooktop. Full size fridge. The pool out back is kept clean and looks fairly nice. There are BBQs onsite as well. Overall good place for the money spent.

NOT TRUSTWORTHY. I booked a room over a month in advance and paid upfront. The night of my stay, not long before I was going to check in, the motel text me that they overbooked and couldn’t accommodate me. I had to find another motel last minute and pay double. The motel ignored my texts and calls and still have not refunded my money. Do not book here. They hardly apologized and inconvenienced me greatly.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property manager was rude to me when we checked in. The manager was not there when we wanted to check out. They charged us a $300 damage deposit which I wanted to have refunded on checkout but the office was closed, and there was a lineup at the door for checkouts. The room in general was in very poor condition, microwave was damaged in the coffee pot did not work in the morning. The pool was nice though I'll give them that. Other than that very disappointing. I have to go back and figure out what happened with the damage deposit though.

Schell Motel cancelled my reservation via a text message two hours AFTER check-in time (I hadn't arrived yet), saying they were overbooked and blamed Expedia. I was left having to find alternative accommodation which resulted in me being out of pocket. When I called Schell Motel they offered no further explanation or alternatives or any support in finding a different place to stay.

Great spot but not good for customer service, there was rarely anyone at the desk and I didn’t get an answer when I called the number on the note they had on the locked door that said “call if needed” but, great location and great room!!
