    Make sure to check rooms beforehand. The smell of cigarettes filled the room and there were stains on everything. Holes on the blanket and honestly felt like i was in a room that wasn’t meant for humans. In conclusion: cigarette smells, yellow walls (probably from cigarettes), blanket with cigarette holes, stains on sheets, and overall just a dirty place. $60 a night, better to sleep in your car with clean air. Anyone who rated this above 1 or 2 stars is either fake or has never been to an actual good motel.

    MY EXPERIENCE AT SHAW'S MOTEL This is one of the best, clean cheap motels by far! The room we stayed in was nice and clean. The tile floors are new & look nice, the bathroom shower, toilet and sink was super clean stocked with fresh, clean white towels. The bed was really comfortable and had fresh clean white sheets, pillows and covers. The AC provided great air, they have cable, the wifi works great and stays connected.....the rooms also come with a clean, good mini fridge and clean microwave. Also they stay on top of their daily maintenance.....we were there for a week and a half and every morning they stopped by to change out the towels and provide fresh new ones. They also stay on top of their pest control. This motel is 100% BED BUG FREE AND ROACH FREE! while we were there, the pest control people came and sprayed the entire motel. So if you're looking for a good clean, affordable motel where you'll also get peace and quiet, I would definitely recommend them. 5 stars all the way.

    It was a quiet area, which I like. The room was okay but didn't like the smell of smoke in the room. Also, you can walk to several stores instead of driving, which I thought that was pretty cool.

    The blankets and sheets and towels all have suspect looking stains on them. When I moved in the did not clean the bathtub floor correctly i had to clean the corners of the shower out there was all kinds on dirt there .and the room service is awful. If you miss out on room service in the morning the woman tells you that it's too late because she already has everything in the washing machine. Basically the room service lady is lazy as hell . I been here 3 days no service if I miss out while I'm at work then there is nothing she can do smh 😭 .I jave no soap the floors are sticky and my bed sheets were already dirty with stains on them when i moved in. My room does not even have a smoke alarm they removed it

    It wasn't the Marriott, but it did the job. The only problem I had was the cable going out the last night of my stay.

  • 5/5 J M. 10 months ago on Google
    Great price for a quick stay….. clean and friendly

  • 3/5 STEPHEN 8 months ago on Google
    Not bad. Rooms need updating big time. The beds are very uncomfortable and need go be replaced, as well as chairs and table in room. Basically needs whole make over. I didn't see any scary bugs. Checked under mattress, and some other spots. Just a few dead ones but NOT bed bugs. The house keeper works hard for what she has to work with. I stayed here during day for about 9 hours. It was $85.

  • 1/5 Mario C. 4 years ago on Google
    Would give it to 0 stars but there's not an option lights didn't work and for the price $75 I believe you could have stayed at a local motel with a pool and continental breakfast hahaha
