Economy Inn Willows

Booked for 3 nights- stayed 2. Didn't get a refund for 3rd night. Walls are paper thin. When neighbor wasn't swearing he was snoring. Other neighbor did a brake job until 10pm. Coffee pot didn't work. I realize it's the Economy Inn but it was hard to get comfortable. We won't be back.

After reading that Willows had such a high crime rate, we were a little concerned to find this motel was located in the downtown portion of the city as opposed to along the freeway. We were also concerned because we saw online that the motel was sold out and we were afraid there wouldn't be a place to park since we were towing a cargo trailer and would be arriving late. All of our fears were unfounded. The gentleman that checked us in was so nice. He came out to the parking lot and gave directions to my husband as to where he could park easily with the trailer and have an easy exit in the morning. It's definitely and older mom and pop type motel, but the room was clean, the shower was hot, and the AC worked great. There were only two pillows, so my husband asked if we could get two more. Again, the gentleman was so accommodating and brought them to our room with a smile. We had a very quiet night's sleep. Wish we hadn't eaten before arrival. There was a little bar/grill across the street and the motel host told us they had really good food. The number of cars there would indicate he was right. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

This is definitely a budget place, some basic amenities, but not a lot of frills. A couple miles off I-5, close to downtown shops, convenience store, a great local bar and eatery, but I cannot deal with bed bugs.
