Review of Shamrock Motel 1*

I have to be fair in my review after all this is someone’s business and source of income. However, while I lay awake past 3:00 a. M. Wondering what a guy is doing sitting in his car after my car alarm went off is a bit puzzling. I believe he’s living in his car because he keeps starting it every few minutes. Motel owner, hire this guy to be your security and pay him with accommodation. I give this place 2 stars for cleanliness. Everything else, you just try to sleep on it (if you can). I tried but I am a light sleeper and the sound of trains going by doesn’t do it for me. Bring ear plugs! A long time ago this place was a source of luck, hence the name Shamrock Hotel. We didn’t stay here back then, but we thought after 16 years since that fortunate day we would come try it. Well, we tried… This place could make so much more if they renovate, upgrade, hire security, provide hair dryer and coffee maker (a must). Just saying it has potential. There’s already a fridge and a microwave why not add 2 more must haves in a motel room. Then add a few $ to your room rates. It’s a win win… The accommodation the Shamrock Motel provides is not for us. I’m sure it works for other people especially if you’re just passing through. Did I mention the toilet is not flushing properly, but the bathroom is very clean. I suggest getting rid of moldy plastic shower curtain and replace it with fabric shower curtain and wash it together with the bed sheets. Did I mention CLEAN? Yup, bedsheets been washed (the smell of bleach in the air). I know a clean sheet when I see one because I worked in the hotel industry before and know the tricks of the trade (not sharing that). If you even see one piece of hair on that bed sheet you better ask for clean sheets and PRONTO! As mentioned earlier the room is clean, if you just want somewhere to crash, BUT I would pay more for peace of mind, security, and working plumbing. Of course if you’re in a tight budget then this is your place. You can’t get a better price.
