Room was filthy. Smelled horrible. Window didn’t shut nor lock. Air conditioning does not blow cold air. Room was unlocked when we got there. Dirt and grime on walls, ceilings and window. Hole in carpet. It was awful. Asked for a different room and we were told no because we used Expedia we would be charged again. Went for breakfast and every crockpot was empty. No pastries nor muffins were left. I had to ask for the food to be replenished. Front desk lady told me to call Expedia. Couldn’t find a phone number. I will only book direct from now on. Do not go to this hotel! It is horrible!

We are very pleased with Simmer Motel. It is a very good choice for a low budget motel. I look forward to when the remodel is done. The staff was super! We will stay here again!

The room was nice, comfortable and clean. The process of receiving the room number and code to enter the room was really great.

The ease of check in and check out was very convenient. Maybe an extra TP roll and actual body wash would be really nice. Hope to see the pool open for possible future stays next summer.

Carpet was stained but under newer ownership and I believe they are trying to improve it

Dated room, vanity light didn’t work, lock code didn’t work, spider webs all over the exterior, blinds were broke, not curtains, so parking lot lights shined bright into the room all night!! Musty smell, would not stay here again, especially for the price.

It was easy to access and close to everything. I would just say it needed some curtains (because the lights at night were bright) and a coffee maker. Other than that it was a very enjoyable stay.

Good stay. Bare minimum amenities but great overall atmosphere. Love the OZ suite overall design. Complimentary toiletries could be improved. None were provided other than 2 tiny bars of hand soap. Still a family favorite.

Bathrooms need a little upgrade. Also need a coffee pot and hair dryer.

It was overall great, it just smelled like cigarettes in a no smoking room, there were random clothes under the bed and the soap looked funky but overall beds were comfy, bathroom was nice and functions of sink and microwave were good.

The room was dirty trash in trash can, poop on the toilet and bathroom floor was dirty. Carpet was so dirty I couldn't even walk around without shoes. TV went out for over 2 hrs and was told it was just a cable issue. I will never stay there again.

We wanted a place to overnight after the Paxico Jazz Fest. This motel was close and convenient. It was clean and comfortable. I would have liked a coffee maker for a cup of coffee in the morning. Checking in and out was easy. I don't know if they had wi-fi. There wasn't anything in the room about it. Wi-fi would have been nice.

We understand they are remodeling but our room was not. The room was clean, it was quiet and safe. The room and it's furniture was ok. AC struggled and the bed? It left a lot to be desired.

Hotel was not as advertised on the Hotels.com website. We booked a king suite, non-smoking, with a jacuzzi tub. We did not care about the jacuzzi, but did care about the size of the bed and the room being non-smoking. The hotel was reported as "updated." When we arrived, the room had obviously been heavily smoked in. The room was visibly dirty, with stains on the couches and the material ripped. When we asked for another room and explained the condition, we were told that only one room was a king suite as advertised on the website. We were offered another room in the main hotel, but it also had an unpleasant smell. We asked for a refund and we did get the refund.
