    It was early what we needed it to be. 5 minutes from the airport for an early flight. No frils, dated but clean, a little rough around the edges when it comes to patrons living for extended periods. Lots of old vehicles in the lot. It’s like a small town movie scene. The fridge was an unexpected surprise

    Room dated and very smelly; no kettle to make tea or just hot water. But we were expected it and brought our own.

    Location is very good, clean quite room. Big TV; comfortable bed.

    This is difficult as Shamrock Hotel didn't try to be what it wasn't. Hence the price. neither of us fancied using the shower but toilet and basin spotless.

    Cost us £50. UK. Just as described. Not updated since the fifties but clean, cheap and historic. Manager replied promptly to my email (I'm a wheelchair user) and was very pleasant. Good fridge and larger freezer than usual. Would only use as somewhere to lay my head. Plenty of choice with nearby restaurants and fast food outlets. Very busy with workmen who left early and again all spoke to us.

    Walk into this tiny motel and find yourself in the 1950's. We enjoyed exactly the 2 bed layout we booked - even though we didn't arrive until 9 PM. Lovely hardwood floors. Very clean room. Microwave and fridge in the room were helpful. Motel does not serve breakfast, but there's an IHOP close by. Lastly, it was amazingly quiet for a motel adjacent to I-5!

    Very old - A bit of an odour, ery old windows with condensation. A bit concerned about security. Would have like it to be gated at the front.

    Close to shopping. Right off the highway. Easy parking. Hardwood floors. Was able to book a room at the last minute. Good price. Comfortable bed and nice bedding.

    Ideal short budget stay, convenient , clean, old cold windows and bad mirror in bath, hot shower
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Queen Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Old mirror in bathroom with flaws, paint on it, cloudy windows - seal gone, No fan or heat in the bathroom, and an older window could be a security risk and source of cold air, a few hangers and a rack for a closet, noisy from upstairs guests at night walking or talking, not enough parking at times, poor lighting, decor minimal

    Location was convenient. Motel had a good fridge, microwave and table & chairs. It was easy access to the parking if the parking lot was not too full. Motel guests were quiet overall and there was no smoke around us from other guests or in the room. The bed was comfortable, the space was generous and the shower & plumbing worked well. Receptionist was pleasant and helpful. Easy to find the motel from the highway 5 nearby. New paint on outside of motel. A/C worked well. Good to have clock and the TV worked fine. Vinyl plank flooring. Reasonable price. Code lock on door for security. Lots of drawer space for longer term guests. Very clean.
