Valued Stay Sun Prairie

Clean room, comfortable bed

Yes

Under new ownership that’s in the process of renovating, so a work in progress. Our room was renovated, with new comfortable bed, nice decor, new bathroom, mini-fridge + microwave, new furniture (although one cabinet drawer was already falling apart), but still had old dingy carpeting in the room and hallways, plus room door and hallway door locks were old, wobbly, and did not inspire confidence. Outside appearance definitely does not inspire confidence, as the building looks disheveled, the parking lot is full of potholes, and the neon sign with the old motel name is still up (but unlit at night) with a small paper sign with the new name pasted underneath (also unlit at night). The Expedia description said the front desk was staffed till 10pm, but upon arrival at 9:30pm a notice indicated it was only till 9pm, so the check-in process then involved the confusing use of a Ring doorbell to communicate with someone who was difficult to understand, taking photos of your driver’s license and credit card to text to them, a long wait (10min) for a room assignment where you weren’t sure what (if anything) was going on, and then finally being directed to a lockbox to retrieve the room key. All very confusing and worrying after a long tiring day of driving. As I said, the place is very much a work in progress. But the price was right, and they are clearly making an effort, so I wish them well.

The room wasn’t very clean. Floor especially—toenail clippings and crumbs. Shower had hairs on walls. Bed was clean and comfortable. Parking lot is in bad need of repair. Seemed to be in a decently safe location but lighting was dim inside and outside and didn’t promote a sense of safety.
