Best WLM Reviews
Pleasantly surprised by this motel. It's the cheapest option in this area and not the worst by a longshot. I stayed in Room 138. This is on the ground floor. Didn't see any bugs (cockroaches/crickets) and the room seemed like it had been recently renovated. The rooms are very basic, but seem spacious, perhaps because you don't have unnecessary furniture cluttering the space.
I had no issues with the front desk - I deducted a star because I went to the front a couple times and no one was there and no message was left about when they'd return.
1. hygiene:
The once-grand hotel now has fallen to squalor. the bathtub is cracked and peeling paint with some sort of mold growing in the corners. There are no longer roaches as of 2024 but the spiders are in full swing.
Air conditioning in our unit was broken. We spent the winter night freezing as they also didn’t provide blankets, only thin bedsheets.
2. No real breakfast:
Despite claiming to have “free breakfast” they actually have a grab and go system where you are given one meal ticket per person who registered, and redeem it in the morning for a BROWN PAPER BAG with
a muffin packet,
a granola bar,
and a cup of orange juice.
Do you consider that breakfast?
3. They make it near impossible to get a refund
They take 100$ cash upfront and many I know did not get it back, they only switch rooms. The room they switched us to was musky and and smelled strongly of bleach.
I'm very pleased with my stay and the price was unmatched. The room was nice and neat and the location was perfect for me. No complaints and will definitely stay here again.
Don’t usually write reviews but I have to share so others don’t make the same mistake I did. I was out of the room from 9-5 each day (stayed 2 days). I’m sure I was exterminating 1 bug/hour that I was awake in the room. Asked to be moved to a second floor room for the second night. I think it was actually worse. I figured out the door had a gap so I plugged it with a towel and the crickets/bugs were crawling their way thru the towel??? As I’m leaving there’s a guy with a leaf blower going around blowing crickets off the top floor and it starts raining crickets on top of me and my car. Obviously he couldn’t hear my yelling at him cause the machine was loud and he had headphones in. I Do not recommend this place. 2 stars for service just cause they did move me to another room even tho it was just as bad or worse.
TLDR: if you don’t like bugs, pay the extra money and get a nice place. Anywhere with outdoor facing room doors is definitely a no go. Do NOT listen to anyone saying their room was great and clean and no bugs. It’s the exact opposite!
Love this place. May not be top notch name but it was way more cleaner than some bigger hotels that I’ve been too. Loved it for the price and clean outside as well. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely come again when in the area.
Only reason I gave a 4 is because the breakfast comes in a paper bag with a granola bar 2 pack muffin and sunny delight. Other then that it's quiet at night and I was glad ihop was next door for
The rooms are less expensive than most in the area, so wasn’t expecting anything fancy but was immediately turned off by the tub that looked filthy and should have been resurfaced years ago at the very least. Mattresses feel similar to a typical cushion. Old and dirty ice maker on second floor that did not work. Looks like they added a few pieces of modern looking furniture and fixtures in the room, which is the one positive thing about the interior. AC worked fine. Grab and go breakfast is what it is, we called it “bag nasty” in the military when it’s just a quick sugary snack with little nutritional value. For just $20 more there are nearby hotels with WAY better and newer rooms with comfy beds and full breakfast, working ice machines and nice pools.
I arrived the day before they painted and thought to myself wow, the rooms are much nicer than I would have thought just by looking at the outside. The following day when I checked out, they were already almost done painting, and it looked very nice. So much better. I hope business goes well for them ☺️
