“OVER CHARGED and NASTY”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Do NOT stay here. If you stay here after reading this, you are crazy. They overcharged us for this nasty room. We enjoy staying in private, smaller motels for their unique feel, but this was just a bad idea. Their were questionable stains all over the room, which was old and in desperate need of updating and repair (holes in the walls, patched with duct tape and fliers for local attractions!). I didn't want my one year old daughter crawling around on the floor for the stains. They said the room was non smoking, which was an obvious falsehood. The smell of smoke was overpowering, the man in the front office was cold. I knew we should have found somewhere else when the woman who had just checked in before us came back in the office asking for him to fix her sheets. The bathroom was just gross. While I never saw any roaches, we made sure to keep any food out of the room, just in case. I wish I had taken a photo to place on this website. And they had the audacity to charge a pet fee... wonder where that money is going.

“Forty dollars a night plus tax.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2010

We were staying in town for a week so we were looking for the best value. We tried and could not beat the rate. The rooms were very big and the front desk help was very helpful. The bathroom had mold under the bath mat but the owner came and cleaned it as soon as we told him about it and offered us another room.

“You get what you pay for”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2010

My wife and I are taking a long road trip, staying off the beaten path. We're trying to stay in unique, local hotels rather than the big chains. The Frontier is definitely a local place. It's kinda like a Motel Six, only dirtier. On the bright side, it was dirt cheap. I think we only paid $40 or so. The worst part was the bathroom. It was filthy. There was a ball of hair on the floor of the bathroom, the bathtub had mildew in the crevices and the toilet had one of those small round bowls, but they had installed one of the elongated toilet seats on it (as if that was going to make you believe that it was one of the fancy toilets with the elongated bowl, LOL!).

Anyway, I don't recommend the place unless you're on a very tight budget.

“DON'T STAY HERE!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We found this motel on Expedia.com. I booked it because it was the cheapest one that popped up, thinking that motels are mostly the same. As long as I get a non-smoking, clean room with a comfortable bed and a hot shower. We opened the door to our non-smoking room and were blasted with the smell of smoke. This had obviously been a smoking room. We decided to fight through since it was 2 am.We got into bed realized that these were the worst pillows in the whole town. They were lumpy, but only about 1 inch thick. The bed was uncomfortable and lumpy too, and the sheets were dirty. I can only hope that the brown spots were oil from the dryer. I got up in the morning to take a shower and was assulted with the smell of dank towels. The shower head was plugged with mineral buildup so it only trickled out. I continued with the shower only to have the HOT WATER RUN OUT!! What a joke! We went to check out and were told that they couldn't refund us for the night we had stayed (obviously) or the next night because we didn'g give them a 24 hour notice.Their ad on Expedia shows that pets are allowed, but they don't tell you that there is a $10 per night per pet charge. I am disputing all charges. BEWARE!! Don't stay here if you want clean and comfortable!

The only people giving positive reviews on this place must be the owners. It was disgustingly hideous and we all slept in our clothes. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to my worst enemy.
