i’m gonna keep it a buck, i originally booked this place because of the price but was extremely happy with my stay!! obviously it’s a motel, you just can’t expect a 5 star suite waiting for you but you CAN expect to sleep well, stay warm, and feel safe. on top of the key card lock, there was also a turn lock and a chain latch lock for added safety. it was around -20° outside and i didn’t even need to use a blanket while sleeping, so you can see why i was happy with that lol. the shower pressure and temperature were also great. no crazy noises during the night, for me at least. also didn’t see bugs or anything.
my only criticism is that the shower does leak onto the bathroom floor, so i think it’d be good to put extra towels by the bathroom for that reason. i’m sure there aren’t a bunch because of potential theft, but i think even just one more than the amount of people staying (3 towels for 2 guests) would be good for the room i stayed in specifically.
I definitely plan on staying here for my future Appleton trips, though!
