This is an older motel that is clearly in the process of being upgraded with love. I liked the accent wall colors, the modern bright bedspreads, the large format print above the bed, and there were new, attractive blackout curtains that really did cut the light. The mattress was not overly soft and the bed frame was solid. There were two different types of pillows on the bed.
The person who checked me late at night was kind and professional.
Is it luxurious? No. Some fixtures are leftover from the 80's (sink and tub). Some of the outlets attached to lamps no longer have a solid connection - not dangerous, just not reliable - but I was able to find outlets to charge all of my devices. The shower water pressure and towels were fine. I slept really well. I am impressed with the upgrades being made by the new management/owners. For me, this motel is a great value.
The current owners seem to be doing a good job of prioritizing the upgrades. What could easily be modernized has been. New blackout curtains and new beds are important. Rooms are getting new heating/cooling units. Free WiFi. Ample well-lit parking. Easy access to I-88.
If you need an affordable hotel room near Dixon, you can't go wrong with this one. It's covers all your basic hotel needs, no frills. But I think they do offer coffee and some breakfast. I was impressed by the effort the current owners are putting into this property.
I slept well and would 100% stay here again! Were it not for the fact that this hotel is one town over from where I need to be over the next few days, I would have cancelled my room at the boutique hotel in a State Park and stayed at this hotel. (I only arrived at this hotel, because the boutique hotel messed up my late check in and I needed a room at 11:40 at night. At more than 50% less than the State Park Hotel, I would have been quite happy here and this room would have met all my needs for the week.)
I wish I'd taken some pictures.
A fancy Tru hotel is being built behind this one and will be perfect those who want to stay in a new chain hotels and who don't mind the $$$. This motel is a great option for those value-seekers who are don't need the most modern amenities and understand the quirks of an older property. I would like to come back. read more
