Travel Inn Motel Oakes — Hotel in Oakes

I travelled to Oakes recently and chose the Travel Inn Motel based on two factors: location and the fact that it had a review on Tripadvisor. While it does have a good location in the center of town, the previous review must have been at a different hotel because there is no bar or food at this hotel at all. They must have been referring to the Harvest Inn, which has both.||||The staff, while friendly and somewhat helpful, seem to have a lot of difficulty doing their job. Either they don't have a lot of training or they don't care enough to know what they should be doing. They had trouble with basic things, like reservations and direct bill payments. And they were completely inaccessible early in the morning.||||The hotel itself has virtually no amenities, other than an Ice machine on the second floor and a tiny break area in the lobby. The "breakfast" (if you want to call it that) consists of some packages of powdered doughnuts and coffee. You're better off leaving early and going to Donna's Diner for a real breakfast. There's no vending machines, no business center, no fitness center (although there is one across the street that you can use for $5), no pool, and no laundry facilities. It appears that most of the people who stay at this hotel were hunters, so I guess it would be fine for someone to sleep, shower, and change clothes if that's all you need.||||The room is pretty bare, although it was clean. My room had a refrigerator and a microwave, and there was a gas station down the street where you could buy things to keep in your room. The bed was incredibly hard and made sleep uncomfortable. The bathtub took an exceptionally long time to drain. The heater and air conditioner both worked well. You could get the room ice cold or baking hot in a relatively short period of time. My room was near the lobby, which had a television running at all hours of the day and night. The noise from the television, along with the patrons and staff, made it difficult to sleep. There was only one iron and ironing board in the hotel, so if you need one you'd better ask for it in the afternoon and iron everything all at once.||||After a couple of days, I couldn't take it any more. I checked out and moved over to the Harvest Inn, which has a lot more amenities, a better trained staff, and a much...

This was not our first choice of motels but i was glad to have been a guest there for the week and will definitely be back even if the other motel has open rooms! Amanda was very friendly and was always making me feel at home! The rooms were clean with comfortable beds a nice shower and cable t.v.! Coffee and snacks was always ready before i left for work at 7 a.m. and it's also a pet friendly place! Bo Bo is the motel mascot and is very friendly like his mama Amanda! There is the Angry Beaver restaurant right across the street and a couple more establishments next door! Quite clean and friendly!❤☺ i highly recommend this place if you are an out of towner there working close by (cheap rates) and just want a quite clean place to rest your head!

Thank you Amanda and Bo Bo See...

I travel for a living and stay at a lot of hotels in small towns.|The room was bearable and not filthy. Pillows are horrible. Dresser was missing the front of one of the drawers. Towel bar was pulling out of the wall. Toilet seat was cracked.|In the 5 days I was there housekeeping never entered my room.|The entry areas to the hotel were absolutely disgusting. Door mats look like they have needed replaced for years.|Hallways and stairs were literally caked with gross stuff and were not vacuumed at all during my stay. |I’ve stayed at the Harvest Inn hotel in Oakes and it is much, much, nicer. Unfortunately they were sold out of rooms.|Although Harvest Inn is about twice the price, I would stay there if rooms...
