Worst motel Ive ever stayed in. It is so run down. The place is dirty, furniture is banged up, some stuff works, other doesn't. Only reason I remained there was I didn't see any bugs (which was amazing honestly).

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

Property was purchased by another hotel in the area. We had to go to that hotel to check in. Our room at the Simmer motel did not have a smoke detector, carpet, flooring & furniture was stained, dirty & dingy. Definitely would not recommend this property.

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.
