Super easy check in- they even text to check in if they notice you have not checked in yet and it’s getting late. The water pressure for the shower was spot on. The room was super cleaned and very inviting. I ran into two staff members because I was trying to call while in the office to see if I can grab a sugar creamer packet- they were super friendly. We will be for staying here again!!

Where to start?? Trail Inn is a nicely remodeled, old-style, roadside motel. I have never had a check-in experience like this... Received a number code in a text. When checking in to the unmanned motel office, the number code was entered into a touch screen and the room key then dispensed. Ice buckets and dog treats are available in the office. The motel sign, out front, was being replaced so we almost missed it. This was a new one, but not a bad experience.

My wife and I stayed 5 nights the week of October 5th, as we were in town helping a close friend with a medical emergency. We were hardly at the room until finally the 4th morning we had a little extra time in the morning, and tried to warm a bagel in the microwave. Pressing the open button on the microwave would “pop” the door, but it would not open. Multiple attempts pushing the door closed and pressing the open button, and it was clear something was jammed and coming apart behind the door. We called the front desk, which is not on-site, and reported what was happening with the microwave. The person answering the phone said they could have someone look at it later, and we said that was not necessary, that we didn’t need to use it but wanted to report it. We heard nothing more about it, until we checked our credit card statement and Traill Inn charged us an extra $75 for damaging the microwave. We did not damage the microwave in any way, we called and reported the problem the first time we tried to use it. Multiple called to the site and finally getting a manager to talk with us live, he explained that the microwave is thoroughly checked by management after each stay, so we “had” to have broken it. We obviously will never have anything to do with the corporation that owns Trail Inn again, and we would caution anyone that stays there that if anything fails in the room while you are unlucky enough to be there, you will be charged for it.
