I would never recommend anyone stay at Magnuson my wife and i arrived at the hotel and had to be buzzed in. Check in went okay. We arrived at our room which was at the end of the block at the rear of the property, next to our door was a broken Pepsi vending machine, a broken toilet, a seat to be used in the shower for a handicapped person a garbage can had not been emptied and was overflowing. Entering the room we found it to be in need of renovation the floor which was a composite material was taped together in places, worst of all was left over food in the refrigerator which was going moldy and a opened bottle of wine, the bathroom door had a hole kicked in it that made the whole experience worse . We left to get lunch close by, and discuss the condition of the room, we made a decision to leave and find a different place to stay.

This was my 5th time staying here. It’s a good value for the money but this time there was Duct tape on the floor and areas that were a trip hazard. That is not acceptable and will be the last time I stay here!

Rooms were clean and adequate, beds were comfortable and everything worked as it should. Decor is a bit outdated. Air conditioner didn't work in first room they assigned us to, but worked fine in second room. Pool is closed, restaurant attached is closed. Could be so much better but was fine for our one night stay

This is a basic motel…no frills, so to speak. Only coffee in the lobby and a prepackaged sandwich. BUT staff friendly, it’s clean, beds are good, AC fine. It served our purposes fine. There is a Dunkin’ Donuts and a gas station really close as well as Howell itself just across the freeway.

Very disappointed! False advertising on their website, it showed a pool and Wooly Bullys restaurant/bar in their parking lot. Both were closed and have been for awhile according to the guy that checked me in. The air conditioning unit is loud (a ringing noise). There is a nasty dirt ring around the bottom of the tub, looks like it hasnt been cleaned ever. The laminate flooring at the foot of the bed isn't cut properly and is a trip hazard. I didn't see anything about a pet fee online but they charged me $45, that's way more than most places. I have a very disappointed 6 year-old that was looking forward to playing in the pool. I would not recommend this place and I won't be staying here again.

I love this place. Have stayed here several times and like that it's no frills while still being clean and professional. Just a straight-up good motel. No annoyances. A quiet place to get away, and the property is big so you can walk around and get some air.
