Myrtle Lane Motel

I am a 67 year old crotchety male motorcyclist. I like staying in clean and quiet mom and pop motels in small towns. I stayed at the Myrtle Lane Motel on Friday, May 18, 2007. Not only were the owners friendly and interested in making my stay as pleasant as possible, their 5 year old granddaughter presented me with a freshly made, still warm chocolate chip cookie. Can't beat service like that. I'll be back.

It was clean, neat and unusually reasonable. It was nothing fancy, with no extras. But it was comfortable and convenient.

This hotel made me feel content: It was quiet.

I had a nice stay.

Pros: 60+ cable channels, a fridge and microwave in the room, plenty of lights, clean carpets and sheets, a quiet area, friendly staff, T-mobile phone reception, it's located between a liquor store and a hamburger place, ceiling fan and heater, double paned windows, it's close to main area of town, and they have weekly rates if needed (7th night free).

Cons: Small (about half-sized) shower, the phone is local only or use phonecard, old furniture, no A/C (don't need it), I was bit by a bug while sleeping, advertised at 35 bucks a night but was 45 bucks a night.

Overall, it is a great place for the money. No vagrants hanging around and the grounds are well kept. Coquille is a small town so everyone knows everyone else. And one thing that I heard that I wasn't used to is the whistle of some nearby factory at 5 pm.

There are a limited amount of smoking rooms. I am a non-smoker and stayed in a non-smoking room that smelled great.

I stayed here last summer in August 2005 for a week. The room was clean and very nice for a quiet experience and a clean room, this one can't be beat. I'm going back again this August if they have room. I loved the little studio room, it was like a small apartment and so reasonable!
