Oak Park Motel

Room was nice but extra calls from owner not so much. First for parking, apparently the marked spot where I was at was in the LOS of the cameras, i was asked to move which I did. Second the wake up call 30 mins before checkout was new to me. I suppose bc they charge should you stay over was the reason.

I was a stranded motorist; had my vehicle’s starter go out. I knew no one within a 400-mi radius. The staff are friendly; the price is modest for the area; the rooms are spacious..and clean; it is located in an area that is pretty easy to access food and gas; and the units are all floor level..which is great. But don’t let the price put you off; this is a clean, safe place to stay! I was also impressed that I was required to do a forehead temperature-scan. In these crazy times, I found comfort knowing they were being vigilant in providing a safe place to stay. Thank you!
The front desk lady, Patricia, went over and above helping me. She listened to my situation; helped me find a shop that was able to repair my vehicle, at a substantially less rate than the local dealership; and was just plain kind to me. I recommend this motel.

Pros: The rooms were clean, easily accessible, and had a great view of the mountains behind the motel. Plenty of fast-food options in walking distance as well as a Target across the street. The shower worked well. I have stayed in plenty of hotels and motels for work travel and showers seem to be a real problem with most of them. I was surprised with how well the showers worked here. The staff is friendly as well.

Cons: They require a cash deposit. Haven't been to a hotel or motel that has required a cash deposit before. The owner said it was because people don't check out the way they used to, and they have no idea if the person has checked out or not. Making it a cash deposit forces everyone to check out at the front desk. The bed was a bit firmer than I like but I guess that is a preference.
