Madras Hotel & Motel, Madras

Being full-time National Guard, I travel a lot, mostly alone, without my husband. So, if your a solo female, this place is great for security and peace of mind. The rooms are tiny, but I don't need a whole lot to read and sleep. My room, the Timber Room, was a one-person apartment, with a kitchenette. Very well-priced, clean, and quiet. Plus, I love the shower with its super-hot water and forceful flow.

I stayed at the Madras Hotel twice. The owners treated me very well and gave me a tour. I stayed in the Native View room with a shower once, and in the Presidential Suite with shared bathrooms with claw tub and separate shower the second time. The shared baths were more than enough for the number of guests, and extremely clean and well-kept. Everything was spotless and had a personal touch. The rates were very reasonable and I felt safe traveling alone since the owners got to know everyone and the outdoor entries were kept locked. This is a neat place with a lot of history and character. You can pick your own room to fit your needs. Both I stayed in had really comfortable beds with soft sheets, and one had feather pillows.
