Timbers Motel

good budget motel

Pros: We got a deal online and it was available on short notice. The location is about the closest budget motel to the theatre district. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean and smelled fresh. Everything worked and was in good condition. Plenty of hot water. Tons of TV channels. Coffee, juice, English muffins and bananas for breakfast were tasty. The staff was friendly.

Cons: It wasn't exactly noisy but it isn't the quietest location and there is nothing romantic about it.. It backs up to a grocery store parking lot. The pool is super tiny and fenced into a little triangle spot in the parking lot next to the street that has no atmosphere whatsoever (looks like a dog kennel). The room was pretty dark and the furniture is very low-budget. The refrigerator worked okay but made a loud bang every time it cycled off. The included breakfast was just English muffins and bananas. Definitely a place to stay the night and move on rather than a destination or a place for an extended stay.

Good value and location

Pros: Cost, location, pool for summer, no frills

Cons: Not really a breakfast, over soft beds when we asked for 1 King, thin walls

Pros: Fairly quiet, clean bathrooms, nice beds

Pros: Good value in a generally xpensive area. This property is right at the Junction of 2 main roads and surrounded by business's so look elsewhere if you want quiet solotude, however the rooms are OK and the pizza place is right next door!

Cons: Leaf blower guy outside everyone's back window @ 9 PM

Pros: Super clean, comfortable bed, friendly, helpful staff. Perfect place to stop on a long drive . Quiet, close to freeway and meal options.

A lot of amenities for a reasonable price

Pros: Clean room, extraordinarily friendly folks at the front desk, lots of amenities for the price. Only 1.5 miles from the Shakespeare theaters.

Cons: Air conditioning unit wasn't cooling very well. I pulled out the filter and it obviously hadn't been cleaned in many months. I cleaned it and then the air conditioner worked fine. I absent mindedly tried to get into the room next to mine, thinking it was my room, and my key opened the door! Old fashioned keys. They need to have locks with cards that get reprogrammed with every guest. It was great that they had a continental breakfast, but it consisted only of orange juice, tea and coffee, bagels, English muffins and bananas. The second day we were there they were out of coffee, English muffins, and there was only one banana left.
