This is a motel from my memories of traveling across the U.S. in the 90s with my family.

The staff was great at check in and super helpful throughout my stay. My electronic key had some trouble and the front office gentleman saw and came to my rescue.

The room was ok. It did have the smell of old smoke, which wasn’t so overwhelming that I could stay in the room, without my environmental allergies kicking my butt. I did find an old cigar on top of the shower door and once I threw that away the smell did decrease.

The cleanliness was ok. Few pet paw stains on the sheets, floor could use a could vacuum, and the remote was sticky. The bathtub/shower, towels and sink were clean.

Overall, if I needed to stay here again, I would. This would not be my first choice.

Place was dirty, carpet stinks, chipped paint, cracked outlets, stained comforters, random furniture all over property, I could keep going on. It's a dirty motel. Which would not be as much of a problem if they were honest and advertised as such. The pictures dress it up as decent. They're greedy and overcharging. Period.

I am a bit biased because Ive been a guest of this motel off and on for 30+ years, with all my own ups and downs its still a memorable place to me, even though its been many years since the passing of my first husband, its the memory of our first night we met and stayed over with a couple of our friends...I was 18 and he was 20, we loved our time together so much that it kept us coming back...Even though he is gone he will always be ever present in my heart because of the two gifts being our 2 boys, Emilio 31 and Arnesto 29, I feel blessed
with the memories Ive kept alive with me so that moving on was possible, Not alot has remained the same , different owners, new staff, remodels,...Smokey Pt Motor Inn has its own character changing with the times along with the neighboring businesses...I cant say what is in store for the little motel that could because I just know it would surprise me with where it goes hopefully up in the hearts and minds of those whose purposes need to realize you don't have to remember who I was or know what has gone on since my first stay, just know that humanity amongst even strangers matters more than what you think of my life with what you know of me is still not much, customer relations is paramount for every business venture, being a human being isnt about its own costs of life we survive from, its about letting us love ourselves in the best of our moments so that hope can live on in every area that let us create it even 30+ years ago

They say pet friendly, but really they are not , esp when it comes to cats. I know that when we booked my cats had zero pests, and are very well behaved and well trained. But when we left we had fleas !!! Now my cats have been treated very well for fleas , and havent had fleas in over a year. They definitely got them from the room we stayed in , under the bed was absolutely disgusting, lots of garbage ect. Its too bad because even 5 months ago this place was mych nicer and cleaner . I wont be returning but the staff is friendly.

Staff are polite and helpful. The hotel is in a VERY sketchy neighborhood and appears to be a long term rental for people on public assistance. Lots people of coming and going, people wandering around outside our room at all hours, cats in the window, etc. My husband was nervous about leaving his truck there while he slept. I wouldn't recommend this hotel and I wouldn't stay here again.

First it is an old motel. Didn't think it was going to be too bad for a night. The bed was very tall. We are short had to jump up to get in bed. The pillows were thick and hard, the fawcet to tub was very hard to get on, no washcloths, the room was ice cold, windows open. Heater took a very long time to heat up. So with that being said. Spend $20 more and get a better hotel. Way over priced.

Pictures on Website do not reflect what the room was. The carpet had large stains all over it; and was sticky. I had to lay towels down from my bed to the bathroom. When i checked in at 10:30pm the weather was below freezing; my room window was wide open and smelled aweful. I stunk everytime i left the room it was so bad. The TV did not work. The heat control knobs were completly broken and difficult to control. Holes and scuffs in walls, missing trim pieces, several large cracks across entire length of ceiling, stains on the walls, missing drain plugs, non working outlets, etc. Bed was uncomfortable. My room obviously has not been updated or maintained in a long time. The room didnt seem very clean prior to my stay.

Not sure where the representative picture came from or the recent 10/10 reviews, this was not our experience. We didn't need a Hilton, just looking for a comfortable bed for a quick overnight but walked into a tired, dated room with worn out furniture, dozens of cigarette burns in the carpet, broken sink and shower faucet handles and poorly done wall repair. The room appeared surface clean but still smelled of old smoke and chemicals. Not a comfortable sleep. The only positives - lots of security cameras ( if they work); shower came out like a firehose and the towels were newer.
This place feels more like short term transient housing; definitely not a redone Mom&Pop motel. Not staying here again.

It is very apparent that No updates have been made in decades. All fixtures, furniture and linens are in very poor shape. En the sink that was cracked in two places was not replaced. The room had a terrible, old smell that they tried to cover up with something even worse. When we got there the window was open to try to air it out. We waited quite a while to get the frint desk to come check us in. I would never stay here ever again and I would never recommend this room to anyone. I would almost rather even sleep in my car at the rest stop!

The staff was great and really helped out when needed! My room this time was FAR better than the last time I stayed there, and I stay there whenever I am up in the Arlington, WA area for work, which is fairly often. The only little 'snafu' was that the wall heater could only be sent on high and high fan speed, so I had to keep turning it on and off as needed. A very minor issue overall.

Thanks so much, and keep up the good work!

The room smelled like wet dog and Lysol. No matter what I did I could not get the smell out of the room, so I just lived with it. When I got there the window was open. It was apparent that they were trying to air out the room. The heater/air conditioner wouldn't turn off with the on/off switch, so it kept turning on no matter what temperature I set it to, and when starting up it was extremely loud which kept waking me up during the night. The Wi-Fi was mediocre at best which was frustrating since I had a lot of work on my computer to do. I've stayed here before and it has never been this bad. I 'might' give it another try. But I would rather stay somewhere a half-hour away rather than deal with this again. We'll see...

OK, but not great.

There was a problem checking in, so the front desk gave me an 'upgrade' to a king bed which I didn't need since I was traveling alone, but OK. I asked if there was a fridge and microwave in the room and was told 'yes.' He was right: There was a fridge and microwave, but there was no plug for the microwave. In order to use it, I had to set it next to the sink. The fridge also does not have a small freezer section. When I went to take a shower my first night, the water was almost cold. It was cold enough that I could barely stay in it. The water temperature fluctuated a lot during my 2-night stay. So much so that I didn't bother taking another shower. One of the outlets didn't work, and I tested it and found that it has an 'open ground' condition which is a safety hazard. The place has definitely seen better days. I will say that the bed was comfortable, and it appeared that they were in the middle of replacing a lot of the mattresses throughout the motel.
