What guests think

At King Oscar Motel, travelers report a budget stay in the midst of ongoing renovations, with some newly remodeled rooms that are clean and comfortable and a convenient location near I-5, restaurants, groceries, and shopping.

Many also mention construction disruption, closed amenities (especially the pool), and a run-down exterior. Reviews frequently cite inconsistent cleanliness and maintenance, including weak or absent hot water, broken fixtures, door gaps, and freeway noise; several guests felt the environment and long-term residents made the property feel sketchy. Expect a basic, no-frills stay where friendly service and a renovated room can offer good value, but conditions vary widely.

I liked the place. However when you book a room because they have an indoor pool and you want a couple days to just get away and unwind only to find out it's been shut down for over a year is unaccessible.

Besides the guests right above my room doing parcor jumps with kids & dogs until late at night. I recommend this hotel.

Everything was pretty good. We had chosen this particular hotel, because it was close to the venue which was our destination and it had a pool. When we got there, we found that it did not have a working pool. That was a bummer.

That means they aren't cleaning rooms well at all. I am pissed between the two rooms for two days it was over 500$ we spent and the pool was closed the rooms weren't clean and we end up leaving with bed bugs

The staff were fine, but the room and facilities were awful, even for a freeway-side motel. The bathroom was dirty with holes in the walls, the shower curtain rod wasn't attached to the wall, and there was mold around the floor trim. The exterior door did not seal properly, you could see light around all for edges. Since the door faced the freeway this meant LOUD traffic noise all night. Also, the prices seemed to be jacked up for an event in the town that weekend, adding insult to injury....

Noisy , bathroom fecal matter on toilet, no breakfast as advertised, tub soap tray minuscule, no stopper in bathtub, no ice available,big gaps on door, no phones in room had to put clothes back on and walk to office, window was unlocked when we got in room. The first room deadbolt wouldn’t lock and door sweep was not on missing screws,moved us to another room so we had to repack etc.I gave manager this list. Hotel is in process of being remodeled. I was going to rent 3 rooms next weekend but talked to friends and they chose to find another place. The only positive thing I could say is that bedding, pillows and bed was very comfortable. I’m not blaming gal at counter or manager as she said she would pass on info to owner.I requested some compensation but said I’d have to go through Expedia as I booked with you. We had been in the car for hours and just wanted to have a bedtime cocktail and had to get dressed and go to office, no ice machine😡 someone had left an open bag of ice, she didn’t know who so I got enough for a couple of drinks. Also frig had no freezer so leftover ice melted.

Bed has a finger print of red stuff on it; not sure if it was blood or what, but a “clean” room ready to occupy shouldn’t have that. Also, shower had long black hair in the tub, I’m a bald man. AC didn’t really work, room was 80+ all night.

The location is great in relation to I5, food options, and tons of shopping. We spent about a week here playing at Great Wolf Lodge during the day and sleeping at King Oscar. I love that there is a Safeway down the street so I could grab some food staples and use the fridge/freezer and microwave to eat food we love instead of spending a fortune on food from resturaunts and fast food that isn’t as good as homemade. Check in was easy and the woman at the front desk was lovely. There were residents who seemed to live at the property meandering and were very kind and respectful to us. There was a lot of road noise from I5 (our room was facing the freeway) which provided great white noise for us. My family loves cars so we enjoyed the sounds of cars going by. We didn’t hear a sound from neighbors so I think the sound of the cars was a great bonus. Overall it’s definitely a “you get what you pay for” stay but I found the pros to outweigh the cons.

It’s not often you book a hotel and show up to a consultation site. I found a trailer with a light on and there was a nice lady working who checked me in and informed me I was rebooked at another hotel across town (valley Green apartments formerly motel 6). After a bit of a wait I received my keys and directions to the other place. Once I arrived my keys didn’t work so back to the construction site and trailer we went. The desk lady called for some help but no one was answering to help her. After an hour she reprogrammed my keys and said to go back and give it a try again. She gave me a number to call if it didn’t work. Off to the other hotel went… Once again the door keycard did not work. I called the number she gave me and it instantly went to voicemail “no one it available and the mailbox is full, goodbye”. Wow! This really sucks. I go back to the construction site trailer again and let the office lady know they key cards didn’t work again and the number she gave me to call didn’t allow me to get through to anyone. There were others having similar issues in the “trailer”. The office lady was trying her best and I felt bad for her. There was zero support from the hotel “management”. After about 30 minutes she gave me keys to another room and we got it. We booked for two nights but in the morning after the first night. This place SUCKS!

The check in lady was the rudest check in receptionist we have ever dealt with. We paid for our room and on our way to room our truck broke down. We just wanted to get to our room and sleep and she would not let us due to not having our id which we left in our broken down truck. It was 2:30 am we had nowhere to go and our truck was an hour away. We took a cab there. It was prepaid and we had other forms of I’d on us and she said she didn’t care if we had nowhere to go. We were so lucky our cab driver was so nice and he drove us the hour back to our truck. We freezed our butts off all night but was just thankful for shelter. We had paid for this room two nights before arriving. She treated us like scum. The least she could have done is let us sit on their couches in the lobby till morning and at least we would have been warm. We will never ever book any reservation at that hotel. We travel a lot and that was the worst experience we have ever had. The check in lady was the rudest person we have ever ever dealt with at any business. We will be contacting management and hotels.com

This place was scary. Broke down cars in the parking lot. Obviously people living there. It’s under going a renovation but there are no signs pointing to the temporary office. Felt like we were being watched to see what could be stolen from us. I am a retired cop and always travel with protection, I did not feel safe staying there. My son and I found a different place to stay.

Pulled up to the motel to find the front completely fenced off and under construction, I wasn't made aware of this. I found the check-in station in a temporary portable on-site. I selected a non-smoking room, however the room reeked of cigarettes. There were older vehicles that looked like they were permanently parked and a lot of people walking in and out of rooms, it made me feel a little uneasy. There was sun shining in around all 4 sides of the door, and I could hear everything going on outside. Bedding had cigarette burns and toilet wasn't sturdy. This was the first time I've ever not felt safe at a motel and I left and stayed somewhere else. Low price point but still not worth it.

What a dump. First thing was that the bed frame was broken and the mattress fell lopsided to the floor. Room was full of flies. Carpet looked like it was never vacuumed because there was debris all over it. There were boogers on every wall. Seriously, why would somebody do that and why didn't they clean it off before letting people stay in that room. They advertise that they have a pool and breakfast. No pool, it's closed down. Their breakfast is some slices of raisin bread, cereal and waffles. Juice machine was out of order. After seeing how dirty everything was, didn't really want to eat there anyway. Lesson learned and I'd rather pay a little more to stay anywhere but there.
