I found this motel clean and adequate. It’s nothing fancy, but the room was comfortable. And the price was right. Just what I was looking for.

Decent motel for a couple nights

Hotel is not bad on the interior. Recently remodeled shower, clean towels and nice pool. Some maintenance issues I couldn’t ignore such as carpet peeling up, loose bathroom fixtures and loud AC unit.

The owner is very friendly. He was also very accommodating. My only concern is I don’t believe their maid mops the floor of the room. But over all I had a good experience. Will stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The front desk staff and cleaning staff were attentive and kind. The only drawback to this property is the road noise directly in front of the business. It seems that many of the locals believe that the louder their exhaust, the better the vehicle. Additionally, the parking lot is located directly outside the rooms. Therefore, the noises of those exiting and entering their vehicles, including the noise from the horns when locking vehicles, come directly into the rooms.

LOVED Western Inn & Suites and will definitely be back!! Super easy check-in, and they were accommodating despite the late hour. I had a Standard room which was clean and very comfortable, bed and pillows were super comfortable, brand new bathroom with an amazing rain-style shower. A/c highly effective too! Very loud but its so powerful you only need it on for a minute or two to cool down the room. You can adjust the settings on it too. Staff were super nice, and they even have a cute little water feature outside the office. Over all, loved the place and wish I could stay longer! Only 20 minutes from Bitter Creek Wildlife Refuge. I'll be back!

It's close to myself sister's house.. Just a couples of block away. Friendly service and helpful... accomodating. Bad = oily 1 coffee packet. There should alway be at least two (2) packets. I we don't drink both.. that's good for you... If we to drink 2 cups of coffee..then that's good for us. We certainly paided enough for the room for less than a 24 hour stay. You can certainly afford to offer us 2 cups of coffee... Just saying...

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
This is a basic hotel with a few nice things: room we were in had a redone bathroom with a nice shower. There are several decent restaurants nearby. The room is a decent size. Negative: Towels are minuscule in size and paper thin. They also don't supply enough. The floor of the room was filthy - our feet stuck to it. Upholstry on the chairs was dirty and worn (chair 1); ditry and torn (chair 2). Pillows on the bed were thin and lumpy.
