The Historic West Walker Motel

After I booked the room online with a 3rd party, after unsuccessfully trying to contact somebody by phone, I received 12 emails within an hour Half seemed to be duplicates. The room was inexpensive, but the “management” company charged $20 for a cleaning fee for a 250 sq foot room for 1 night. (We always leave at least a $5 tip for housekeeping, but couldn’t stomach that after paying the cleaning fee.). The envelope in the room requesting a tip is almost offensive. The room was mostly clean, although our feet were dirty after walking barefoot on the floor. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was huge (almost the same size as the room), and well-appointed. It had a modern, massive shower. There was no place to put any luggage, nor any chairs in the room. We brought in a chair from outside. The property is in a very pretty area. The reviews mentioned a local BBQ restaurant and burger joint. Both were closed (may be open on weekends?). The room was accurately portrayed in the photos. We booked the last one available that had a queen bed, and full bunk with twin on top. There was very little room to get around the beds, and a tight squeeze between the bed and bathroom. If you had 3 people needing a bed and were on a budget, room 11 would be great. It did have a small fridge, microwave, hairdryer, wall AC unit, and wall heat unit. Table and 4 chairs outside were clean. Could hear the traffic outside, but did not bother us. Note to managers: put at least one chair in the room. And, a corner table and some hooks for luggage. The wheels at the base of the beds are a hazard to one’s toes.

The outside looks pretty run down, but once inside the room, it was heaven. Everything was brand new and sparkling clean. The only downside was there wasn't much room for our luggage and there was no place to hang out jackets. The Wi-Fi was spotty at best. Overall I would definitely stay here again. The price was great.
