2 out of 3 times I’ve stayed I’ve encountered cockroaches. Floors sticky from not ever being mopped. Combative attitude displayed when confronted about the problems, although he did address it when we responded just as aggressively. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a seedy dump and I’ll never spend my money there again. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!

I understand this motel went through a significant renovation and that it used to be a real dump. But for $120/night I expected something better than what we experienced, which was kind of bleak and no frills. Our conjoined double room was freezing in one half due to the heating unit and bathroom only present in the other half. When I asked for an extra blanket, I was told no by motel staff. Location is primary reason to stay here.

Had a great stay at the Trolley stop motel. It's a older motel but has been remodelled and the beds are very comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.

A Small But Comfortable Place in a Great Town

I am a musician who plays regularly in and around Media, so I stay here often. It is relatively inexpensive and comfortable. Rooms do not have a lot of extra space.The staff is friendly. Beds are fairly comfortable. and there is a microwave in every room.The bath soap could be a little more substantial. Media has a lot of restaurants and club nearby, and there is a comfortable trolley into the heart of Media

Room was nice and clean. Tile floors. My socks even stayed clean. Bed comfortable. Looks newly remodeled. People outside hanging around and a weed party going on in the room next to me. They did quiet down before midnight. But it was a little uncomfortable. I only book one night at a time sight unseen, was going to stay 3 but decided to find other accommodations for the next 2 nights.
