Scottish Inn

Apparently this motel has been under new management since it was last reviewed. I spent a Saturday night here while passing through WI on a road trip, and I found this place to be very clean and quiet. The wifi is blazing fast — it’s hard to believe, and a tremendous relief especially considering the trickle of bandwidth I got at other motel locations I stayed at on this trip. The innkeeper was very nice and accommodating. Overall, a highly satisfactory stay at an inexpensive location.

Ew.
This was the second-​most disgusting motel I have stayed in, in my entire life. The first was literally a crack house in Oakland, CA, with no fitted sheet on the stained bed and violent looking people hanging out in the parking lot.
When we arrived in the moderately clean hotel room, with an obviously dirty pillow cover, the whole place smelled heavily like disgusting air freshener. My partner is allergic to these kinds of heavy fragrances, so we spent the first half hour of our stay attempting to clear out the smell, only to find that it covered the reeking smell of cigarette smoke in our non-​smoking room.
We spent a considerable amount of time considering whether it would be worth it to take a shower in the dirty bathroom to clean the filth of the room off in the morning. We decided it wasn’t.
Throughout the night people were awake and laughing uproariously in steady tones just outside our windo; we can only imagine there was drug-​use involved. Of course, we had to keep the window open to prevent from choking on the stench of the room.
The featured amenities of fridge, large television, microwave, ironing board, etc. seem only to serve people who are staying for a while, which, based on the people we were surrounded by, is problematic.
When we woke up at 6:45 (after waking up all through the night) we got up and left quicker than we’ve ever left a place. This is despite the fact that we pulled in at 1:30am and got to bed at 2am.
The man in the lobby was nice enough, but a nice demeanor is really no excuse for a disgusting motel. Please, unless you really need a deal, don’t stay here. Pay the extra $ 40 and stay at the Super 8. You’ll never know the misery you missed and, trust me, it’s worth it.
