What guests think

Reviews of Motor Inns Of America describe a budget, older, exterior-entry motel with notably friendly staff and a convenient location, plus occasional maintenance issues, making it a practical stop for simple stays rather than polished comfort.

Several guests appreciated quiet rooms, easy parking, and the ability to check in early or receive helpful upgrades. Criticism centers on inconsistent housekeeping with stained linens and odors, and the absence of breakfast or coffee. Expect a simple, no-frills stopover.

Property is very outdated, and the smell of smoke in NONSMOKING room was overwhelming. Sink was cracked and leaked all over the floor, bedding was full of burn holes and moldy in shower. If it wasn't for being in a desperate situation we would have never even considered it. The pricing was ridiculous for the accommodations.

I like the place! It seems clean! Even though you don't Enter the room through the hall, Which is what I Normally prefer- I was at least able to port close. They also heard me when I ask for the first floor as I have problems with my feet. It was 15 minutes away from where I had to go my job. That was fantastic. And the room and bed was great.

First room the key didn't work. Got a second key and entered room. Floor by refrigerator was sosking wet to entry of sink. Used towels to dry floor. Unloaded car, tried to turn on tv. Didnt work. Went to office and they wiuld send somebody. 30 minutes later we had tv becaude someone had unplugged it. Again water coming from refrigerator. Needs defrosted. So much ice couldnt put ice cream in freezer. Your ad says hot breakfast none available. No drain plug for tub so had to go buy one. The guy in the office said they threw them away because they're going to standup showers. Its pretty bad when you go to family dollar to buy plugs and they know what hotel your at becausr i wasnt the first one to buy them

Look, for the price it was fine and it was generally clean but the stains on the top sheet and the sofa give off a dirty vibe. The area and the clientele felt safe but it was a little bit of a rowdy crowd. The night I stayed people were friendly and shut things down at a reasonable hour. The staff - felt like it may have been the owners - were nice, greeted me by name and made appropriate small talk. I must have been the only remaining reservation that evening as I did roll in later in the evening. I did not have any issues with bed bugs and the floors and corners were clean. Outside was clutterd but I attribute that to the guests leaving stuff around not staff neglect since it was minimal. I would stay again if I was traveling alone and just getting a nights sleep but maybe not if I wanted a guaranteed night sleep for kids. Realize this is close to the Cherohala Skyway and attracts all spectrums of the car and motorcycle culture. You are rolling the dice on nice evening with a Corvette club there or dealing with the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger crowd.

Staff was friendly. Room was clean and comfortable and everything worked. Bed was comfortable. The only two issues were a musty smell in the room, and the tv had lines in the screen when watching it. Everything else was good. Would stay there again in the future.

The room was filthy. There was mold on the shower curtains, the bathroom was disgusting, the towels were stained and looked dirty, and the bathroom walls had weird brown stains on them. The sheets were ripped on the beds and there were what looked like mold spots on them. The top covers were also stained and gross.
