I stayed at this place first in a basement room for the ungodly price of $69. No air, closet door wouldnt shut, medicine cabinet doors wouldnt open or close, they ran out of toilet paper and I had to buy my own. Then I was moved into a smoking room with a very small kitchentte for the price of $38.... More

We stayed at the North Star in late June, from a recommendation in a Lonely Planet guide. When they reviewed it likely years ago, they made a comment about there being 25 rooms or so. We were in room 34, in the dungeon, I mean basement, so I have a feeling the owner converted the basement into more rooms for... More

Charged our card the day before our reservation!!! When we got there, the room was so gross, it smelled like bleach. When I turned on the tv, I found a crack pipe sitting next it! We immediatly went to the front desk and she told us she couldnt refund our money because she didnt know how! We had to call... More

My boyfriend and I were traveling through the area and saw the North Star Motel and stopped in. We were very pleased with the price and the staff and the cleanliness of the rooms. We were showed a few different rooms. All were clean and very neat. We did take a room and were very pleased with our decision. More

Checked in in the late afternoon. Plenty of empty rooms at the time, but they managed to put me (a nonsmoker) in a smoking room. Being a lung cancer survivor and suffering from COPD, I didn't really appreciate that. When I got to the room, it hadn't been cleaned; the toilet wouldn't flush (as evidenced by the paper still in...

We've been staying at the North Star Motel for about 10 times now, since 2005. The price is really good, especially during the winter months... However, our experience did vary susbstancially, depending who was at the front desk. The corridor can be pretty noisy, especially at night. One evening, an old blond woman, was asking us, panicked, if we smoked... More

This motel is worth it if you are a budget traveller but it had 2 problems for me: the smell of cleaning fluid was so strong that i had to move to a room that hadn't been cleaned that day. Nauseating! then the vertical blinds were defective and didn't close properly to give privacy. Had to hang a bedspread over... More
