Oakridge Motel

This motel has an old school motel charm. We wanted to save some money while staying in Newaygo and it was perfect for that. Know before you go: bring your own shampoo, conditioner, and soap (theirs is greasy and never comes back off). Also don’t expect perfection. The beds are thin and boney (they were comfy enough, but don’t expect a nice plush hotel mattress), heat/cool air happened to be perfect, paint was peeling off the walls in the bathroom and there was a spider on the ceiling that never moved.. dead? The hotel staff were excellent, very kind and genuine people. Very trustworthy experience. My only request would be: could staff change the cleaning solution for the tile floors and give a good grout scrub? Everything felt oily to the naked foot. We spread towels out and were fine, but it could be a light lift to improve others’ experience.

We have stayed here off & on for over 30 years. Apparently this place has a new owner. Weird smell/ upon opening the door. This place has the same carpet as it did over 30 years ago. Tv remote didn't work. Bath tub was dirty. Black hairs stuck to it. Soap scum ring. Shower stuck to shower spray only. Couldn't run water into tub. Didn't matter, cause I wasn't getting in that dirty thing anyway! Noticed tub had a hole in it that was patched with something. Ceiling was falling down & stained above. No heat bulb in ceiling either . Toilet or tub must have over flowed in upstairs room. Shorting out the heat lamp...?? Night stand phone did not work. Guess it was just for looks. It was also dusty & dirty. No bulb in one lamp above night stand. In order to turn on/ off lamp...ya had to get up & down using the light switch next to door. Someone super glue the switches on lamps?? The two cloth chairs in there were nasty & stained. No luggage rack. No coffee pot. Had microwave. Never used it. Mabe it was just for looks too. Fridge froze all our water & pop & milk we bought within a few hours. Husband turned it down. It still froze the new water & pop we replaced. Glad we had our cooler in the truck. I sat outside in the morning & watched kids getting on the school bus from this motel... So there ARE people living here full time!! There were cigarette butts all over the ground. Weeds growing everywhere. Restaurant next door is closed. WE WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN!! NASTY!! GOODBYE!

Room was decent except black mold on bathroom ceiling tiles and light fixture too small for hole and NO HOT WATER because boiler needed part they had to order I was told

Everyone working here and staying here have been very nice, polite, and informative about the area.

It was a cheap place to stay on short notice. Will not be returning there.
