What guests think

Reviews of State Motel portray a budget property with mixed room conditions: some guests found clean spaces, while others encountered dirty linens and bathrooms, weak or inconsistent hot water, poor water pressure, and various maintenance problems.

Noise experiences vary widely, from peaceful stays to complaints about loud neighbors, fighting, or fireworks. Service feedback is mixed too, with multiple mentions of friendly, helpful staff and easy check-in contrasted by reports of rude behavior, cash-only deposits, strict no-visitor rules, and trouble getting assistance for early checkout. Amenities are basic, with several notes about no fridge, microwave, or ice, plus parking available on site. Expect a simple, no-frills stay that depends heavily on the specific room and circumstances.

The place was clean, parking a little awkward and tricky, but still worked. It was a good option for the location I needed to be at and the reception clerk was friendly. Always a plus.

Ac unit works great, decent bed and pillows. Nothing functional for long stay no fridge, no microwave. Wonderful customer service remodeled flooring, great hot water. If you can ignore the church bells that go off at certain times this is a cheap decent stay.

Ok place to stay. Relatively clean except the sheets and towels are scary! Stains galore… Cheap place to stay a night but nothing more in my opinion.

The room was filthy. There was dirt everywhere. The toilet was dirty, and the lid/seat was only hanging on by a screw and kept moving. There was no hand soap which was upsetting especially with how dirty the place was. The shower head had this awfully strong pressure that made taking a shower painful and it could not be adjusted. There was also a bunch of rules that they had that were not stated on the booking site, such as no visitors, a cash deposit, and check out was advertised online as 11am but was 10am upon arriving. When i attempted to check out at 5:30am, there was nobody around to assist me. There were also no instructions on how to check out when nobody is around. After waiting and ringing for 20 minutes, I decided to just leave, and I lost my deposit. If you have absolutely no standards and just want a cheap room, then this place is perfect for you

Staff were respectful, and available 24/7, as described. Unfortunately, the room was very dirty, sheets had many conspicuous stains, towels were downright dirty. Hot water was available only sometimes. Avoid unless absolutely necessary!

The sheets and pillows on the bed in my room were filthy and looked liked they hadn’t been changed from the last guest that stayed. Water pressure in shower was terrible and only got about 10 minutes of hot water before the water ran cold.

Arrived around 11pm for check in, the front desk lady wanted to charge a 20$ “deposit”. After I said I wanted to pay with debit she refused to accept my payment. I don’t recommend, unless you’re a fan of listening to the people next door have se*. It was very uncomfortable especially while having my 6year old daughter with me. The rooms are nothing like the pictures show. The bathtub looked like it’s never been scrubbed, it was extremely uncomfortable and everything else is outdated. When I checked out the lady was busy cleaning another room and all she had was an “Awesome” spray bottle and a rag. Explains why the rooms are in the conditions they’re in.

I made a reservation under my husband name but unfortunately he wasn't able to come in with his id so when I changed the name for on my reservation lady at the office was very rude and she charged me again in cash for the same room I had paid for. She clams that my reservation got cancelled and even after showing her proves that I changed the name on the reservation she said no call Expedia to let them know ,your concern. The lady straight up stole from me. Now idk if I can get my belongings back.
