Ratings and reviews
1.5 / 5.0
Staff were friendly and helpful and the bedding and linens were very clean. The bed was a bit hard on my back and that is the only reason why I didn’t give it a higher rating.

We found bedbugs around 10pm and the motel office closes at 9pm so there was no one to assist us. This is awful customer service and a safety concern for the property and all the occupants. We had to leave in the middle of the night and drive to a brand name hotel and pay again, where we knew we would has assistance should anything happen. I expect a full refund.

An older property that could use some updating. It was VERY clean, though. There was a definite lack of plug-ins and the one by the bed didn't work.

Kerry gave excellent service.
The cleaning staff were lovely.
3.0 / 5.0
It was clean but tired. AC was great for the weather. Staff was friendly. Also did not like or know about the credit card hold which was more than the cost of one night’s stay. Probably would not stay again.

The garbage smell when we first pulled into the parking lot was awful. The rooms were clean so kudos to housekeeping. The surroundings were run down including the black asphalt was pulling off on the stairs and outside of the rooms. Rooms are dingy and outdated.

The people were great and helpful. The area is run down and a little noisy, but lots of eating establishments in the area.
3.0 / 5.0
The location is good for us. Also dining options within walking distance are handy. Fairly quiet. Towels and bedding were nice. The in-room coffee was good.
This is an older motel, that hasn’t been maintained very well. It needs some attention. It’s expensive for what you get, but the Island is ridiculously expensive in the summer. Still….shouldn't be so pricey IMHO.

Average place for the night, never been to the island and didn’t realize how pricey motels would be.
4.0 / 5.0
For a motel built in the late 50’s-early 60’s, this property is well kept but definitely showing its age. Room was clean but has an unmistakable scent of “old”. Bed was okay, shower was good. Would have appreciated another bedside table and more electrical outlets.

The bed was clean and comfortable. The AC worked. The property needs some attention, and the cost to stay over priced, but it’s high season on the Island.

We found that the room was dated, well used and required renovation. The mattresses were hard.

We didn't use the room that much at all. Got back late watched a bit of TV. Would have been nice to have Netflix. It was nice they had free wifi. Could have used some artificial sweeteners for the coffee. Can't think of anything else at the moment.

Affordable, very friendly staff, and clean accommodation.

Kinda what you'd expect for this area of Duncan. Swollen water damaged baseboards, weird smell.
AC in unit 26 was not working, had three kids with us and the only way to cool down was to open the door in the middle of the night in an area with many unhoused people walking the streets. Siren noise every few minutes. Tons of noise and light pollution.
Linens were clean, housekeeping staff was pleasant, but that's about the only positive thing to report.

Property is in good location. Clean enough if you have to stay for couple of days.

This is a perfectly okay place for an overnighter. The place is average looking, but the rooms are big, comfortable and clean. The surrounding area is little dodgy - there were homeless people all around the nearby streets. Highly recommend the diner next to the hotel - its awesome.

We would stay here again. Despite being near a busy road it was very quiet. The staff were great and accommodating.

The property was situated both near good food and exercise options, but was on a sort of skid row. And while the room was clean, i got covered in insect bites while sleeping...not bed bugs however as they were all upper body.

This motel is a little tired but it is comfortable and convenient. The room provides everything needed for a quick business trip. The bed was a little hard and squeaky for my liking but I would stay again.
