Idle A While Motel

I will start by saying that this is the first review I have ever written. I will also say I do not need anything fancy for a quick overnight stopover and I have stayed at plenty of outdated, middle-of-nowhere type motels. This place was the filthiest motel I have ever been to. I ended up not staying because I was so grossed out by the room. The pictures online make it look kind of cute and charming in an old-fashioned way and they show rooms with new carpet. This was really misleading. My room (motel, not cabin) had carpet probably from the 80s and it was very dirty. I didn't even take my shoes off it was so filthy. I immediately checked for bed bugs and luckily didn't find any. I decided to take a shower before heading over to the hot tub and there was mildew/mold growing all around in the the crease between the shower wall and tub. I wore my crocs in the shower. Some water leaked out onto the floor and I used a towel to dry it up and when I looked at it it had turned completely brown, meaning they haven't mopped the bathroom floor in who knows how long. The walls and everything had grime on it so I grabbed my Lysol wipes from the car and wiped everything down. Then I decided to go check out the hot tub and see if it looked clean enough to use but when I got there they had signs up saying that it was out of order. So I tried the dry sauna, that was out of order too. I went to the office hoping to ask about both and there was no one there, just a sign with a number to call. I called and requested a partial refund because they advertise as having these amenities. I went back to my room and felt so dirty in there that I went and sat in my car. It was then that I decided I would go somewhere else for the night. I was lucky enough to get in at a place down the road that was so much nicer for only 50 bucks more than this place. I ended up not getting a discount/partial refund from Idle a While which was disappointing considering I didn't stay the night and there was no access to the hot tub or sauna. This place is just filthy and I strongly recommend avoiding staying here if at all possible.

Great little motel for a fantastic price. Furnishings were older but clean and comfortable. Bed very comfortable with crisp sheets. All the amenities you’d find in a more expensive place (coffee maker, tv channels, fridge etc). The only issue I had was no hot water one evening and my heater made tick sounds. But for the price, small issues. Very convenient location. I’ll be back!

We had a tough start.Two rooms that we were given were too hot, but they were quick to respond and get us in a nice little cabin.We had a great night
