A standard motel room. The one complaint I have is that the "high speed internet" is actually extremely slow to the point of being unusable. Also, they should probably have more than just two thin pillows on the bed.

Wow. This motel didn't look like much from the street, but the room was super-clean, and the TV--amazing! It was a 60" or larger television. Wow. The bathroom could use a little bit more fit and finish; there were a couple of places where grout was missing. The furnishings were dated, but in good condition. We were only there for one night, on our way to see family, but for a 1-night stay, the Surrey Motel was perfect for us.

Expedia's name should absolutely not be associated with this property. The dirt, grime and filth were unimaginable ! The shower didn't work properly and only offered a 'drip'. When I was handed the room key, it was black with filth and sticky. I went to my car to get my sleeping bag, layed that down and slept in it. Before resuming travel the next day, I took it to the laundromat. If you would credit my card for that room, you will be praised and I would be eternally grateful. I didn't expect the Ritz; but, certainly didn't expect to sleep in squalor and filth. Thank you, Linda M Weber, (I am a senior citizen) the faster you disassociate yourself, the better off in the future you will be.

- This motel did not have an ice maker - There are a lot of bird nests under the awning just outside of the rooms. These birds start making a lot of noise starting at 4:45 am in June, making it hard to sleep.

Do not stay here!

Check in window was not manned. Waited 20 mins for a person to arrive to check in. Room was in terrible condition. Under the bed did not look to have been cleaned for years! Room was 40 degrees and would only be heated by a small heater that took an hour to warm up. Room was so gross, I slept in my clothes to not touch the linens. Do not stay here!
