Never again
We had booked two rooms, one for us and one for our friends. Our friends' room reeked of smoke so badly that they kept their luggage in our room and only went there to sleep. It was not a clean room and the smell was horrible. I understand they were renovating but we clearly booked two "nonsmoking" rooms and that is not what we were given. I also got some runaround about us not receiving our check-in code because of booking through Expedia. Every other single email came through from the hotel, so I'm not sure why the room codes were any different. They're juggling two properties and need to do better or just focus on one.

We didn't have unrealistic expectations. However we did expect a clean room. There was pubic hair, dust bunnies and filth along the baseboard behind the bathroom door. Also, both the couch and footstool had disgusting brown stains. That made us distrust the overall cleanliness of the remainder of the room. We stayed at a "MyPlace" the night before which was the same price but immaculate. It may have just been a "bad look" and not your norm, but it sure made a very poor impression.

The room we are in smells “wet” and musty. I’m assuming there was a water issue or something in the recent past. Besides the smell, the carpet between the beds by the night stand it pretty gross. But other than that, the property is clean.

The Simmer Motel did not give me the room that I booked and paid for.  I reserved the King Suite with a jacuzzi and four post bed and was given a different room.  When I brought this up, they blamed Expedia and said that the room was unavailable (I have never had an issue like this with Expedia in my life).  To their credit, they did give me a partial refund. The room I ended up with, while inferior to what was advertised/that I booked, was okay.  Just "okay."  The temperature control unit was very loud, the bathroom was uncomfortably small, with a very small shower and almost no counter space.  The walls weren't very soundproof (despite what was advertised) and I could hear the neighbors.  The doors don't have keys and instead have a code system to lock/unlock, which was not very user friendly (our door took many attempts to lock every time), nor does it seem particularly secure.  My stay was bearable but I wouldn't stay here again

The one nice thing I can say was the staff were friendly. The room was dirty. Dead bugs all over the floor. Rust water coming out of the faucets. The air conditioner sounded like a jet engine. Not a good night sleep and not a great experience.

Comfortable but not what we paid for.
We booked our room as a king suite a month before our stay for our anniversary. Upon arrival we learned the room we had pre-paid for was given to someone else and there was not a comparable room available. We were placed in a standard room but management told us that since we had paid through hotels.com they could not issue a discount or refund just an apology. This was very upsetting as we had paid extra for the king suite with the jetted tub. Otherwise the room we ended up in was comfortable but basic. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean and it had a decent sized TV. We have stayed at this motel for the last 10 years and this has been our only negative experience and we learned they were under new management. We enjoyed our stay but it was disappointing.

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.

Nice stay
We wanted a place to overnight after the Paxico Jazz Fest. This motel was close and convenient. It was clean and comfortable. I would have liked a coffee maker for a cup of coffee in the morning. Checking in and out was easy. I don't know if they had wi-fi. There wasn't anything in the room about it. Wi-fi would have been nice.
