The property was quaint & charming. The staff couldn't have been any nicer. They immediately fixed the problem with the lights, so my only complaint was that they really needed to wash the floor. Otherwise, if I was ever going that way again, I would definitely stay there.

The room smelled of old wet towels. I had to go buy scented candles to cover up the smell. Cigarette burns on the tub. Toilet took several attempts to flush. You literally have to wait a good 5 minutes before you can use the hot water. The ceiling had what seems like water stains from a horribly fixed drywall job. I should have just left but it was late and didn't feel like trying to find another Hotel room and pay last minute prices.

Loved this hotel. Staff was very nice. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. The price was very good. We travel alot for business and stayed at more expensive hotels and would rather stay here than the more expensive one. If we are ever in the area again will definately stay here.

An extremely clean property and Victoria's hospitality was above and beyond. The guy working onsite maintenance was very helpful and very cordial to help me with the TV. The price was right and I would definitely stay there every time I pass thru. Thank you, Kathy Henry

The woman at the front desk when we got there was nice and the front office smelled great. There was a cat on the counter which surprised me but no real big deal. We got our room key and headed over....once inside the room it was really disgusting and you could tell the room had bot been cleaned in a very long time. There were long think cobwebs on the ceiling, dead flies and gobs of dirt and dust on the ac unit. The floor definitely had not been swept and it seemed as though there were food pieces on the floor in some areas. We turned the sheets down on one of the beds and there were black dots on the sheets. I wish i would habe taken pictures of how bad it was. We decided to NOT even stay. We went back to the office and handed the key back. I described the room to the guy at the desk and he looks shocked at my claims. He said well, no one has been in that room for months. So I am assuming that meant no one bothered to look to clean it either. We did ask for a refund he just pointed to a sign and said no refunds, but u can fill this paper out. I then spoke to orbitz and we are now waiting for the manager to approve the refund. As a small businesses owner, do better!

I like the easy going nature of the front clerks and the manger and willingness to help me and also understanding of my disability as qell as my last minute need of a room amd helping me to secure a convenient room for a good price. Also Very respectful of my XL breed service dog and waived his fee with proof of certification as well as accomodating my Husky family pet for a reasonable fee and as we are in process of moving to a new home. I also like that it is very easy for me to get around the property and there are ramps at each room to not have to worry with stairs. I definitely will come here again if I need a room or 2 in Cambridge.

The Deer Creek Motel was comfortable and had a few features of a more expensive hotel/motel that some economy hotels do not have (like a pressing iron, refrigerator and microwave oven). The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and stylish.

Authentic Old Style Motel
I really like this hotel because it is an old style motel from what I grew up staying in on trips with my family as a kid. An authentic 1950s-1970s motel. It’s clean, spacious, and comfortable.

Cheap room for a nights sleep
There's a refrigerator and microwave in the room. The refrigerator didn't work , but they replaced it. However when we pulled out the non working refrigerator, there was molding dog food under it. The beds dip down when sat on, but surprisingly we were able to sleep ok. The place is very quiet. It's outdated, but it's cheap. Bedding is clean and no bugs.

Price was good, but everything else was not. Room was loud, walls paper thin. Sketchy clientele everywhere. Up all hours partying. Not a room for a person who needs to get some sleep before work in the morning.

If you are looking for just a place to lay your head and want to be economic, this place is fine. Employees are nice, place is clean. Very close to everything. It is a motel, so you park in front of your room and is one floor. This was my reason for the choice, easy to unload and reload my car.

Could have been better. . .
Ok place if you just want somewhere cheap to sleep. Desk staff were very friendly. From there things weren't so great. Weather stripping on the door was coming off which caused the door jam to rot. VERY outdated decor. . .tables looked like they tried to paint them. Holes in blankets. Junk on the floor behind the frig door that was open. Just felt like someone hadn't been in the room in years.

not enough parking spaces. toilet ran until u removed top and played with stopper. dead battery in remote and light didn't work over sink. rm 220. The room itself was clean. No bugs of any kind. Price was right. The rooms and hardware are aged and need upgrading. The best thing is if no one has taken your parking spot you can pull up to your door.

Thank you for your review. I am truly sorry that you did not have a parking space as there is one in front of every room. I would like to offer you a discount if you are ever back in town to compensate for things that were wrong we gladly would have moved you to another room.
