I don't say this flippantly. I have been critical on some of my reviews but this is the most accommodating motel I have ever stayed at. Not only was Scott (the owner) accommodating, the room was immaculate. Because i was staying for an extended amount of time he rented me the 1 bedroom apartment for a great rate. i had a stove and full size frig, separate bedroom with a 42' flat screen. The bed was wonderful and comfortable. the bathroom was small and had a small shower. This was the only drawback to the room. But the most phenomenal thing was how he treated my dog. I usually take my faithful friend with me during the day but on this project i was not able to so he was having to be crated most of the day. Scott offered to walk him during the day while i was at work (he is a great dog but i don't like to impose) reluctantly i agreed. well, not only did Scott walk him but i found out a little later that he was letting Tripp (my dog) stay out with him while he preformed his daily hotel duties. He even took Tripp to his home a block away letting my dog play with his dog.I spend months away from home on the road, in many motels, I have never felt so welcome or comfortable in a Motel. If you ever find yourself in the Traer, IA or for that matter, Waterloo, Cedar Falls or anywhere in a 50 mile radius. stay here.

Very clean rooms. Friendly staff and making sure guests have everything they need. If they need something the staff is right there to help. They do have a new housekeeper. She is friendly. I would recommend this motel to anyone.

This place is great! We just stayed here for two days this week and it was our second time staying here. If it wasn't for "The Golden Door Motel" in Traer, IA we would not have had a motel to stay at since we were visiting relatives in the close-by town of Dysart, IA which has no motel. The rooms were very clean, we rented 3 separate rooms at the Golden Door Motel this past week and all 3 rooms were great, all very clean. I wouldn't hesitate staying here again.

Great little quiet place to stay. Bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept on and I traveled the country for 22 years doing construction work. Lisa the manager was such a nice person

We were pleased with our stay here. Scott was very friendly & accommodating to us when we arrived. Rooms were clean and even more important to me .... The beds were actually super comfy. I'd stay here again for sure. Oh, and they are pet friendly.

Scott, the owner, is extremely responsive. Bed very comfortable, our room spacious, clean, w/ extra counter space & full refrigerator. Conveniently located. We will stay there again.

Owner very friendly and personable. Room was very clean and comfortable. When you stay here, you can leave the credit card in the wallet. Check or cash will get you a room.

We went down to Traer to stay for the wknd. My husband would be celebrating his 53rd class reunion in a neighboring small town. Our room was clean. The bed was more comfortable than ours and I think the bathroom had been remodeled. We even had a nice sized fridge with a separate freezer. For me the only down part was the owners knew they needed to put their 13 yr old Cocker Spaniel down. That is so hard when your pet is also a member of your family

Okay rooms, for an older motel. They were clean, but nothing fancy. I was only there because a (now ex) friend; the motel manager; wanted to have some adult "fun" & gave me a free room and I slept there until leaving early the next morning.
