    Facility is run down and old . I wouldn’t stay there again. The doors are not very secure, I wouldn’t ever suggest staying there to any one I know.

    The room condition left a lot to be desired: --- The bathroom door (Room 13) was being held together by tape, which was coming undone. --- The Wi-Fi signal in the room was very weak, and we needed to go to the office to get an acceptable signal. --- The armchair was old and worn but still comfortable.

    The Itascan Motel is on a main road and easy to find. The people working at check-in were friendly and helpful.

    with very little effort this could be a lot nicer. Painting was poorly done, tv was propped up with a waded up pillow case. Toilet leaked all over the floor, wasn't properly installed. It's pleasant enough for this single guy and his dog, but I can see why family types would shy away. This was my second stay here and I'll stay again next hunting season probably.

    location was good

    Way overpriced for what you got! Very small room, small shower, shower drain plugged..water going all over bathroom floor. Towels thin and dingy white. The room smelled. Floors were dirty. Rusty shelf above the sink.. Old food left in refrig from people who stayed there before, a heater next to the bed...was in the way. It's August...a heater not needed. Not sure why Booking.com would even offer this motel on their site. This is unacceptable for a motel. Felt like we thru away money that night! Couldn't wait to get out of there in the morning!

    They allowed pets and was quiet all night.

    This motel is very run down and I wouldn't recommend it.

    The whole facility is very run down - the concrete is breaking apart and poorly repaired, the carpet is very worn and the bed was not firm at all. If we could have booked a room elsewhere, we would have.

    Before checking in, we were called and told our room wasn't rentable. After talking with the staff, they said to come and check it out. Apparently, there had been a long term rental and it needed painting. We were fine with the room because there were no other hotel rooms in the area available. The staff was very apologetic for the notice and were very accommodating in showing us the room and explaining the circumstances. The kitchenette is a nice amenity and we liked the location.

    the fact that some one played a radio all night long. this radio was loud enough to interrupt our sleep, as we did look for lower rate room we just put up with it. We also parked away from our room as the other vehicles were parked off enough did not want to damage their vehicles or ours.

    The lady working overnight when I asked for more toilet paper she said that she has some napkins cuz she could give me because they're kind of like toilet paper or she has some paper towels and after I asked her if she wanted me to flush those down the toilet she said she would call somebody and then not even 2 minutes later I had toilet paper at my door. But despite that I would stay there again it was pleasantly surprising. Location pretty much is on the main strip where everything is located.

    For the price it wasn't too bad. The maintenance crew is nice and so was the lady working in the morning.

    Somebody had smoked in the common area, where four rooms meet in an enclosed space

    The manager brought a new electric space heater for the room, because the one that was in there did not work anymore. He also fixed the television shows up that worked
