    There are some definite positives about this small motel - at least some of the rooms are updated nicely and overall from inside the rooms, everything is good (except the view - more on that below). We really liked that the room has a heat pump, particularly because it's quieter than the old window AC units and also because it keeps smoke from getting pulled into the room - important because this place has a table and chairs with an ashtray on it in front of every unit. Not something you see too often these days, and honestly, disappointing. Bathroom and room decor were nice, furniture was comfortable. It's close to downtown Duncan and easy to get there, although it requires crossing the highway, or to the water. Fine for a one-night stay if you don't need something fancy.

    The exterior of the buildings looks pretty sketch, and it's not a great vibe to stay somewhere where they have a big metal gate that rolls shut and locks between midnight at 5 AM, or that has a lot of rules posted about guests in rooms, noise, etc. There is definitely a long-term stay vibe at portions of the property. Although our room was nice, its first floor location with a shared entry-way with the room next door and the smokers' table right outside and view of the parking lot and the building across the way that could use some sprucing up meant that we didn't feel inclined to open the curtains, which is a bummer for missing out on natural light. Thankfully the bathroom window on the other side of the building helped. It was good to have a microwave, but the glass turntable plate didn't fit the turntable arms, so it made a terrible racket and bumped around unevenly, making a mug we were heating slide back and forth across it as it turned.

    Nooo, can't say too much. The front counter staff were nice. The cleaning staff, well, hubby said the last time he saw the cleaning lady she was quite grouchy. This time, she was a bit better. That's about all, really. Oh, there is a gate that closes at night so no one can get in or out.

    Jeeeze, a lot. Old old old...is what I can say. Bed was not connected to the headboard so it moved and rolled around, then the pillows would fall behind the bed. Microwave is from 1970 as is the rest of the appliances. Needs a new bathroom. This one is just dated. I have bad knees. Lots of stairs to climb to get to the second floor. No elevator options. I can go on, but I won't. Not for $200 a night.

    It was a typical motel in a quiet location. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, even checking in late at night with a smile. I received a free upgrade to a two-bedroom. The bed and bedding were among the most comfortable I have ever stayed in in terms of firmness, thickness, and softness, and I slept soundly.

    The facilities were well equipped and very clean, but the building itself is old, so there are different tastes.

    This place is not the Ritz, you get what you pay for, It was clean and quiet though. Yes, it's in need of some updates/quality renos, but it was more than acceptable. There are low income people staying there, but I did not see any open drug use or any other problems associated with substance use while we were there.

    Did like the door being so loose in the frame or, that I could not leave a window open because the locking tab was broken on the window.

    Very friendly and accommodating staff, clean rooms, pretty good location

    Had to shower in cold water because the hot water wasn't working, witnessed another guest trying to buy bottled water from the locked-up lobby / office area only for a staff member to walk up and tell them they could just "drink from the tap", even though it was obvious they wanted to purchase a bottle from the vending machine in the motel's foyer. small things like this wouldn't be so bad if the cost was worth it, but for more than $190 per night it certainly does feel like a rip off. The employees we encountered were mostly kind and accommodating, the motel was mostly clean. If you're thinking of staying here, bring your own water, avoid showering, and don't leave any food out for the ants to get. This motel could really be something special if the owners actually cared about their guests experience. It's such a shame.
