Clean and cozy! Loved the vibe inside, plus totally walkable to the main strip, Shepler’s ferry, and any of the local restaurants. Check-in/out was remote too, no hassle or worry at any point. Price is super fair for a simple little place to stay!

Vicky

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean, neat and quiet . Biggest drawback for us was lack of adequate electrical outlets and small room size. I was also not a fan of the check in process- no human interaction at all. My husband requires medical equipment which is typically delivered to the front desk and awaits our arrival. We were unable to receive the equipment because there isn’t always someone at the front desk to receive it. I chose this location because of the positive reviews and reasonable price but ultimately regretted my choice. We were booked for 2 nights but left after one.

This was by far one of the absolute best motels we’ve stayed at while traveling cross-country! Nope, I lied… it was the best!! A cozy room that was very well maintained with all of the amenities we needed. I’m a big fan of the smaller establishments and the ease of parking directly in front of your door. If you’re looking for a spot to stay I highly recommend you consider resting your head here at the Vindel Motel!
