What guests think

Oakridge Motel is a no frills, older budget stop where experiences vary, with some guests finding clean, quiet rooms, while others report dirty bathrooms, lingering smoke smells, and notable maintenance problems such as no hot water or plumbing backups.

Service feedback is mixed, ranging from kind, helpful staff to reports of rudeness, hard to communicate check in, and occasional billing or refund disputes. Amenities are basic: many rooms include a microwave and mini fridge, in room coffee is typically absent and lobby coffee may be by request or not ready. Expect a simple, low cost overnight stay if you prioritize price over polish.

This was by far the worst place I’ve stayed at. Room was not what i requested online, i was charged what i requested online (more expensive) and yet was given a cheaper room. Staff seemed incompetent and unprofessional. The room was very disgraceful. Dirty carpets. Tiny tv with hardly any channels available. There was no coffee maker or coffee. The beds were hard as a rock. Room was dark with very little lighting. The shower curtain rod was old and rusty. The list could go on. And this was supposed to have been a nice romantic weekend with my fiancee. Horribly disappointed.

It was clean and fairly quiet. It had a microwave and a mini fridge, but I wish they had a coffee maker. They have a coffee pot in the office but I had to ask them to make a pot last time I was there. I noticed there wasn't any made this time as well so just waited until we went to breakfast to get my coffee.

The Oakridge is an older, refurbished hotel. It is clean and basic. It was all we were looking for, as we were out and about all the time. There is coffee in the lobby. No makers in the room, but had a microwave and fridge. We didn't mind. Would stay again for sure. Stayed x2 nights.

Everything in the room was dirty. Mold on the shower curtain, burners on the stove were gross, (food left on one of them) tub was filthy, freezer was so iced up I couldn’t use. A switch plate was mounted over the top of another one, carpeting had not been vacuumed. The health department should shut them down. I should be refunded my money also.

Everything seemed to go wrong from the very start of our stay. When we checked in and tried to enter our room, the door wouldn't open and I had to get someone to open the door. They got it open but the moment you close it again it wouldn't open with the key card. They decided to move us to a different room. After getting us a new card for the new room, one of the staff pulled all the towels out of the original room and carried them into the new room. When we were given access to the new room, we noticed the tub was dirty. There was actual dirt in the bottom of the tub. There was a spot that looked like blood on the curtain and the mattress cover was stained. The first night we barely got any sleep. The mattress was horrible on both beds so we took the bed that felt the best of the two. The next day we both used the bathroom and the toilet didn't want to flush. I spent some time trying to get it to go down and it finally did. We left for the day and returned in the evening to the bathroom floor covered in water. Sometime during the day the toilet backed up and overflowed. The rest of the day the sink, toilet and shower didn't want to drain. We had to plunge the toilet every time we used it. About 4am in the morning the toilet, sink, and shower started backing up and sewer gas was expelling into the room. Had to wake up the staff and they knew it was doing it. We asked for a refund and they would only refund half of the final nights stay. Never going back there again.

Place is run down and filthy. Management is not accommodating, rude. We left and did not stay there; we were afraid of bed bugs. Suppose to be non-smoking but people had smoked in the hallway. Most of the rooms are rented by monthly tenants I believe. Disgusting establishment, nothing like I would expect from Expedia.

It was difficult to deal with the front desk. The young man mumbled, and they had a thick glass panel with a small slot at the bottom, presumably to pass money. It was nearly impossible to communicate. The sheets on the sofa were of dubious cleanliness. The light for the range hood did not work. Not even a burnt out bulb, but no bulb, at all. It is hard to cook in shadows. The lights are low powered. With both of them turned on, it is still dimly lit. For a small town, there seemed to be an unusual amount of noise in the hallway outside our room. The cookware and flatware are poor. Much of the dinnerware is melamine. Overall, not a good experience

The property and furniture have been there since the early 1960’s. Room chairs look like someone was murdered in them. Beds were spongy. Dust ruffles looked like they were going to disintegrate. Cinder block walls on the interiors. Fake wood dresser looked like it had been in a flood.

Id stay here again for this price. Small town 2 story concrete motel . Nothing fancy and has what you need . A roof over your head, a bed and a clean bathroom. Check in was easy staff was kind. For a room that cost less than $80 it was worth it for a biker like me who’s passing through on a cold/rainy night so i dont have to set up my tent somewhere. Dont expect no frills its a $80 room. Id recommend a rainy stop to any scooter kat passing through looking for a bed.
