Shamrock Inn, Spirit Lake

I loved this place. its small but very clean. the lady in the front is very cordial. i have been coming here every month for the past year and i would like to keep coming

We booked 2 rooms & when we got there they had given one of our rooms away and the other only had 1 bed in it. They offered to let us use their family room so we agreed. Turns out people live in that room so when we got back to the room (we had left for awhile so they could "clean") the people were still there and the room wasn't really clean. To stay in a room where there is other peoples clothes hanging up, food sitting out and taking up the refrigerator, and some of their personal belongings sitting out doesn't really make you want to stay there. Not to mention there was no towels in the bathroom even though it did have a shower (a very moldy one, in fact). I don't know if I would want to stay here again. The lady at the desk was nice enough but I would rather stay in a room where there isn't people living in it.

We have stayed here for the last 5 years. It was always good. This year we made a reservsation in feburary for a smoking room and we had asked for a certian room that we have had for the last couple years. When we checked in they told us that we couldn't have the room we asked for and all they had was non -smoking. They were very RUDE and didn't even clean our room. This motel was just sold to these people and it is not the same as before.

The first of Feb we called to book a room for the last of June--needed a NON-smoking room, but none were available. Was told we'd have a room barely used for smoking & would have room aired & fresh. WELL, when we opened the door the stench was SO strong of smoke & (as my husband stated) dirty socks. My husband then opened the door to the A?C & the filter was so dirty, he took it to the bathtub to clean it. The bed was like a board. The only chair was so rickety, that every time we moved it, it came apart. The lighting was so poor we couldn't read & there was only a lamp on one side of the bed. One morning NO hot water & sink barely drained. I wore my flip flops all the time as carpet was questionable. On the plus side, was a nice frig, microwave & TV. Shower was fine. Continental breakfast good. Was told when we checked out & commented, that we should have said something earlier. We don't stay in motels often, so don't know to do so. Also that as it's a "resort area", more pricey. If so, should be "up to snuff", not so needy.
