Reviews and Ratings
The Boron Motel is a solid choice if you’re looking for a place to crash during a long drive. The rooms are surprisingly clean and equipped with essentials, and the friendly check-in staff make a good first impression. However, the location is quite remote, and noise from passing trains might disrupt light sleepers. Despite its age, it offers decent value for money.
I had mixed feelings about my stay. On one hand, the room was surprisingly decent for an old motel, with a comfortable bed and good water pressure in the shower. On the other hand, the overall cleanliness was lacking and the location felt unsafe. For the price, it was just okay, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're in a pinch.
I stayed at a motel that was surprisingly not bad considering its age and off-the-beaten-path location. The room was clean and had decent amenities like a king-size bed and a flat-screen TV. While the staff was friendly, I did experience an unfortunate mix-up with my dad's room reservation that left us disappointed. The noise from nearby trains could be an issue for light sleepers, but for the price, it was okay for a quick stay.
I had a decent experience at this motel considering its age and location. The check-in process was friendly, and my room was surprisingly clean and adequately equipped for a quick overnight stay. However, the bathroom could use some improvements, particularly with the shower curtain due to its high water pressure. Overall, for the price, it served its purpose well, but there are definitely some areas that need attention if I were to stay longer.
