The room was clean. For the winter time their should have been warmer sheets on the bed and their werent enough blankets. Upon leaving early in the morning all of the outside lights were shut off.😕 All in all for the price i would say it was alright and i would go back again.

Dirty carpets, filthy bathroom floor, grey towels, smelly, horrible mattress and crappy pillows, all for $75 a night. Too bad as it is a great location and a cute retro hotel. It needs to be renovated. Until then they need to give it a really good disinfection.

No ice machine but a full size fridge & a microwave, the bed was firm & comfortable but the pillows were too soft. Due to my handicap they changed my room to a mainfloor room, no stairs & I could park infront of my door! The air conditioner was not adequate for the size of the room. It’s an old motel with a restaurant next to it!

2 stars is accurate.

The staff is friendly, they gave a courtesy wake up reminder call for checking out. The beds were comfy but the pillows were old and no good, the blankets were in bad shape and looked dirty. There was no water pressure in the shower. The carpet looked dirty and stained. Sleeping didn't feel 100% safe and secure. But it was the cheapest hotel in the right location. We survived.

Our experience was not a good one, we came there stepped inside and it was unclean, dust on radiator , I killed 2 spiders first thing, bathroom was gross, bed was not made properly. I looked at another room and it was the same, we could not stay there, I asked for my money back but the young man said that was not possible, we left and found another motel down the road. I called my credit card company to stop payment and they are looking into it Monday

If you are brave and want an adventure...

Young guy at checkin fine. Room sketchy. Musty smell on entering. Strange stains on chairs. Bathroom peeling paint missing fixture cover. Other “guests” also sketchy. Might have been nice 50 or 60 years ago.

Glory days long passed

Chipican is a budget hotel, but that doesn't mean it should look as dilapidated & dirty as it did. Yes, cheap $, but.... carpet was worn & dirty, our room door was faulty, electric stuff looked below code. Mini-fridge not plugged in, sink faucet is working but not correctly. A pleasant & convenient location, but invest some $$ in upkeep or shut it down!
