Reviews of Lazy U Motel

This motel had the best rate available in the area and does have some vintage charm with exposed beam ceilings and other small touches. The mattresses and bedding were brand new and bug free. There was also a large capacity fridge and freezer in the room. The shower had excellent water pressure and felt great. The television offered plenty of selection for channels or movies and we were able to connect our game console to it. I also want to note that the gentleman whom I believe to be the owner was very kind and appears to be a talented artist.

Unfortunately, our room was not ready for us when we arrived. We did book several weeks out, so I would have anticipated it being immediately ready. The entrance to the office was somewhat confusing as the door has a closed sign with a note to call management for help, but a staff member did step out to greet me and get me checked in. The office, however, is not suitable for business. The lights were off and it was clear that the area was being used for storage. It was evident that there is a very talented artist using the area, but containing these items in a space intended for check in felt unusual. We waited a few minutes for housekeeping to finish cleaning our bathroom before we were able to enter our room. We were told that their washing machine was inoperable and they were waiting for clean towels, but did supply us with some to get started. We thankfully had our own towels and largely used those. There were no trash cans in our room so we did have to ask for those and were promptly supplied with them. As a former housekeeper myself, I must say that cleanliness in our room could have been better. It was not so dirty that I felt my health was at risk, but I did feel compelled to "mop" the bathroom floor and wipe some things down as there were crumbs/hair/misc smudges on surfaces, floors, walls. The freezer compartment of the fridge and the microwave were also dirty. I understand that a dated property cannot be pristine, but when I spend hundreds of dollars for a room, I expect the floors to be swept well, mopped and surfaces free from debris that can be wiped away. My number one priorities are safety and no bugs. This property met those expectations. And honestly I really wanted to love it here, as the gentleman I interacted with did seem genuinely kind and caring. This property had the best rate available, is in a great location and has a lot of potential if staff just gets a little better organized.

Absolutely NOTHING!!

Dirty, unorganized,worst place that I’ve seen in my 75 years. Will never use Booking.com again! Obviously this place has never been reviewed by a legitimate source! Could not even spend the night and lost over $100 but would not allow my wife to stay another minute, in this place! Booking.com should be ashamed!!

Parking in front of the door: easy to load / unload the car.

Everything is old and dirty. My daughters suspected towels and bed lined either not washed or not washed properly. The reception area doesn't exist and we were charged right on the street. We were asked to call the property up front and provide CC details as they won't guarantee our stay otherwise. Very weird setup for booking.com partner.

Manager (owner?) was very friendly, down to earth and helpful. Was quiet. Everything worked and was clean. Lots of stores and restaurants nearby. Pizza joint right next door. Wilderness Park area a five minute drive up the closest street. Cool '50s vibe.

Suited my needs but definitely no-frills. No coffeemaker. The office was closed for construction so had to contact manager by phone (always answered promptly). Some construction materials on premises.

Room was very comfortable and clean.

Office and outside needs serious work/cleanup

Only thing was its closeness to the eye Institute

Dirty the whole place was a mess the manager had to be tracked down and the office was full of junk as was the parking lot and sidewalks. No wash clothes ...smelled strongly of pinesol but wasnt clean. Pillows were flat... Was not a good place to stay and we wont ever stay again.

Friendliness of everybody

Convenient location and rooms are large. Mini fridge and microwave are in the room. The room had been freshly cleaned and smelled great!

The fridge needed defrosting.

This was a great location! Convenient to restaurants and easy access to I-90 for sightseeing in the area. There is a grocery store across the street (Safeway; didn't know there were any still around!). Nothing fancy, but good-sized room with high wood beamed ceiling. Rooms have a mini fridge and microwave.

It can be a bit noisy, but I slept well, and bed was very comfortable. Motel is currently under renovation, so there was no continental breakfast, but there's a Perkins restaurant next door.
