Tallwood Motel Wells

Adeel was friendly and easygoing, even when I’d accidentally booked the wrong night. He accommodated me without a fuss. Later I locked my keys in the room, and he came outside with me, chatting along the way. I was after an affordable place for the night and was impressed by how clean and well-kept the room was. The bed was comfortable, and I had no issues. It’s not a high-end hotel, but it’s comfortable and a great value for a low-budget traveler like me. I’d absolutely stay again.

The shower was the worst part. The clear liner kept blowing inward and sticking to my legs, and it meant nobody could use the bathroom while I showered. The hot water seemed unreliable, then was completely gone the next morning, so my sisters couldn’t shower before our travel deadline. We alerted the owner at 8:15, and he said he’d come check in a few minutes, but he still hadn’t shown up by 9:30. He promised to refund half the cost the following morning, Monday. After several attempts to reach him over the next week, he said he’d forgotten to process it and that his son had handled it five days after the promise. Five weeks later, there’s still no refund. The room and bathroom were small but clean, the beds comfortable, and the owner was nice enough to give us ice for our cooler when he said he didn’t have time to replace the broken mini fridge. The cheap laminate flooring made every footstep audible and rattled the beds. Definitely not worth $120.

We stayed for a weekend with friends and had a great time. The staff were really nice and made us feel welcome. It was good value, and the room was clean in a relaxing setting. The beach and restaurants were close by. We’d definitely return.

We only spent a few hours in the room, even though we’d booked two nights, because we found bedbugs. The property felt dated, dirty, and unsafe. I heard a lot of noise outside by my car and ignored it at first, then later discovered someone had let air out of one tire. The doors use old-fashioned keys, with only an old chain for extra security. They refused to give us any refund. Stay away!
