8/10 Very good

The staff at the hotel were very kind and helpful. And the breakfast was very good and the male staff was working hard to keep the area clean:)
Sumiko, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good motels but needs work

We did get the theme room but the living area was very dirty including clumps of hair in the tub. Issues with the code to get into the hotel which you had to get from the hotel across the road. Bedroom was clean and beds were comfy. Definitely needs some updating. Next to the car wash, liquor and food store which was good. Walking distant to the down town area

2/10 Poor

We booked expecting a mural painted room and a kitschy Oz experience based on pictures and reviews. WE DID NOT get a room that was suitable or as pictured. Our room was in the far corner of a VERY DARK parking area with people sitting outside their rooms on the ground and within the parking lot. We are fans of small town American motel experiences BUT this is straight out of a movie where you don't come out with all your body parts.

We had a great time and the staff was so helpful we ever need anything!

The bed was so comfortable and the shower had great pressure.

6/10 Good

Falsely advertised

Hotel is nothing like shown. There is no pool or playground. They rooms are no long wizard of oz themed. You have to check in at a hotel across the road.
Teresa, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible little motel

Difficulty getting keypad code to work initially to get into the room, then could not get the code to work to lock the room upon leaving after checking in initially. A motel employee happened to be in the parking lot area and saw me struggling with the lock, came over and used a physical key to turn the bolt and lock the door. Then, when I came back to actually use the room to sleep, the keypad code would not work to unlock the room. Also, the room was billed as non-smoking but smelled of cigarette smoke. When I came back that night, there was a rowdy party going on outside the door, based in the room next door to mine, AND, the keypad code would not work. Left and told the night desk person I would not be staying. There is construction/refurb work going on with several other rooms.

6/10 Good

The property needs an overhaul. The couches were dirty. The shower had some hair in the drain and on the shower walls. There wasn't any cleaning service. We were disappointed.

8/10 Very good

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!
Thomas, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was nice, comfortable and clean. The process of receiving the room number and code to enter the room was really great.
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

The WIZARD OF OZ room is amazing!!! 💚
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Mary, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good themed 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.

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

Only complaint with our numerous stays is that the showers are Luke warm at best, water is never hot…..
Chauncey, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
