Worst motel Ive ever stayed in. It is so run down. The place is dirty, furniture is banged up, some stuff works, other doesn't. Only reason I remained there was I didn't see any bugs (which was amazing honestly).

Good motels but needs work

We did get the theme room but the living area was very dirty including clumps of hair in the tub. Issues with the code to get into the hotel which you had to get from the hotel across the road. Bedroom was clean and beds were comfy. Definitely needs some updating. Next to the car wash, liquor and food store which was good. Walking distant to the down town area

The ease of check in and check out was very convenient. Maybe an extra TP roll and actual body wash would be really nice. Hope to see the pool open for possible future stays next summer.

It was easy to access and close to everything. I would just say it needed some curtains (because the lights at night were bright) and a coffee maker. Other than that it was a very enjoyable stay.

Falsely advertised

Hotel is nothing like shown. There is no pool or playground. They rooms are no long wizard of oz themed. You have to check in at a hotel across the road.

Property was purchased by another hotel in the area. We had to go to that hotel to check in. Our room at the Simmer motel did not have a smoke detector, carpet, flooring & furniture was stained, dirty & dingy. Definitely would not recommend this property.

Good themed stay.

Good stay. Bare minimum amenities but great overall atmosphere. Love the OZ suite overall design. Complimentary toiletries could be improved. None were provided other than 2 tiny bars of hand soap. Still a family favorite.
