What guests think

AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

At Snelling Motel, travelers repeatedly note clean, simply furnished rooms—many recently renovated—and a very convenient location near the airport and light rail, while exterior areas feel worn or under construction and some street/rail noise can reach rooms.

Motel s run down and does not give a good impression when you see it. Room was basic but clean. Area felt safe but nothing nearby to eat or even a coffee place unless you have a car. But price affordable so probably a case of “you get what you pay for” If you just want a place to sleep and get a shower it’s ok

Room was clean but small. Only 1 chair (not very comfortable) in a room with a king-size bed makes it not very inviting in the daytime. Needs another chair. No hand soap at the sink. No hair dryer. No place to hang coats or other garments. Hard to find the spot to access hot water in the shower. Bed needed heavier blanket. About as basic as accommodations get. But the staff was friendly and helpful.
