What guests think
Reviews of Guest Host Motel are heavily mixed, with many guests citing serious cleanliness and maintenance problems, an unsafe-feeling setting, and difficult check-in behind barred glass, while a smaller number appreciated the low price, basic Wi-Fi, and occasional quiet.
Common complaints include smoky odors, stained linens, clogged drains, poor heating or AC, and missing bathroom doors or a thin shower curtain instead of one. Several reviewers also reported rude or unresponsive service, reservation and refund issues, and a rough parking lot or hard-to-find entrance. Expect a very basic, low-priced stay with significant trade-offs.
