This is one of those older motels where you can park in front of your room. I drive a Dodge Ram, and I really appreciated how the spots are wide. I could open my doors fully without bumping vehicles on either side of me. The rooms are kind of basic, but everything worked, including the AC. It was clean and quiet. No issues. I fully recommend the Welch Motel.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Basic old and run down but had all I needed, and price was right. Room was spacious, but bathroom dirty. Motels are great to pull right up, and the place was quiet except for the scampering sounds inside the walls in the morning, probably the birds who chirped in the morning which I didn’t mind.

I didn’t like that the air was NOT on in my room when I checked in it was 90 and humid outside so my room must have been 100 and humid. If you have the room rented put the air on in the morning so your guests can be comfortable as soon as they walk into there room !! No one was in the office when we arrived at 6:00pm not cool .and I do not like that the outside light can not be turned off bugs flying into the room lighting up the room even with the curtains closed.

Property is run down. Our room did not look anything like the pictures. Window A/C was off when we arrived and the room did not get cool until morning. Requested a coffee maker for room, was told they would bring one by in an hour. Never saw any staff again. No blow dryer, no coffee maker, refrigerator extremely small - not like one in picture. Sheets were clean. Only a few dead bugs in room. Room had a musty smell.
