I loved that the floors were not carpeted. It made the room feel cleaner. The bathroom fixtures were older, which I didn’t mind but I could have done without the cockroach I found in the bathroom. The area outside in front of our door smelled like pee. It looked clean though, I guess maybe it came from people, letting their dogs pee in a patch of dirt out front.

The room is a fire hazard. Multiple powerbars are plugged into the wall outlet. One powerbar had a second powerbar plugged into it. The smoke detector was in the desk drawer. It did not have a battery in it.

Perfect for a few nights. Better than expected based on the price… and the other reviews. It was a clean room with a nice big TV and a working air conditioner, what more could you ask for! A fridge… and a microwave… that’s what more you could ask for, and they got it! Hospitality was great as well. Thanks for the stay!

The front lobby was locked and only had a little slot to talk with the attendant. When I went into the hotel room the bathroom was filthy. Urine on the toilet seat and something disgusting in the tub. They did give me a new room but seriously. This was absolutely unacceptable.

What Do You Expect For $91?
Run down property that should be bulldozed. Lukewarm hot water, beat up furniture, no bedspread, mold around the bathroom windows, cracked and squeaky floor. Dark, depressing room. Walkway between rooms lists toward the front. Cracks in the ceiling. Not a good sign that you have to pass your credit card through a slot while you stand outside. This motel has seen better days...depressing room, so a great place to commit suicide. Weird because the room has a humungous TV and a microwave big enough to cook a turkey, even a decent size mini fridge. What do you expect for $91?

The oak motel is an older bare Bones motor inn but the Price is Right it's impeccably clean and though it's a bit on the older side everything works so if you need a place to stay and you don't need fancy this is a great place
