The stay was alright for the cost of the facility. I only stayed one night. You would want to bring your own soap. I would have liked curtains on the windows as it was very bright with the blinds. Within walking distance of Main Street.

Great seamless check in process! However, the rest was history as we were greeted to beds with brown color stained sheets, a non functioning air conditioning unit, and dirty mugs that were not usable.

I was there for only 45m. We got in late, had to drive to a different location to pick up my keys. When I went in and took a shower and went to go to the bathroom, the toilet did not fully flush. I had to flush a few times for just pee

Bishop Inn 1/5 Terrible I made a reservation for this facility the day before. When I arrived on the day, there was one employee there who told me, "It's not open at the moment. It's scheduled to reopen in August." I told them I had made a reservation, but they said it had been refunded, so as long as it wasn't open there was nothing I could do so I booked another facility. The accommodation fee was deducted from my credit card, what a careless company Expedia is. Selling a facility that isn't open and then conducting a survey on top of that. Please refund my money immediately.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Walking into the room, had a strong smell of mold. The shower was moldy, and the smell permeated the whole room. There were bugs on the walls. There was a coffee maker with creamer, etc. but no coffee. The soap/shampoo dispensers in the shower were broken. The office is never open so you need to go to another motel to check in and get your key. On the plus side, the bed was not too uncomfortable and the room seemed somewhat clean other than the bugs and mold. The window A/C unit worked okay.

I did not stay. The place needs a lot of work. Windows are not secure. There was no one from the motel on the premises either. I was also the only person on the premises at 7:30pm. I got another room close by. I went to the Tree Motel to return the keys. The manager said she would contact Expedia about refunding the fee.
