Golden Door Motel

We were pleased with our stay here. Scott was very friendly & accommodating to us when we arrived. Rooms were clean and even more important to me .... The beds were actually super comfy. I'd stay here again for sure. Oh, and they are pet friendly.

I don't say this flippantly. I have been critical on some of my reviews but this is the most accommodating motel I have ever stayed at. Not only was Scott (the owner) accommodating, the room was immaculate. Because i was staying for an extended amount of time he rented me the 1 bedroom apartment for a great rate. i had a stove and full size frig, separate bedroom with a 42' flat screen. The bed was wonderful and comfortable. the bathroom was small and had a small shower. This was the only drawback to the room. But the most phenomenal thing was how he treated my dog. I usually take my faithful friend with me during the day but on this project i was not able to so he was having to be crated most of the day. Scott offered to walk him during the day while i was at work (he is a great dog but i don't like to impose) reluctantly i agreed. well, not only did Scott walk him but i found out a little later that he was letting Tripp (my dog) stay out with him while he preformed his daily hotel duties. He even took Tripp to his home a block away letting my dog play with his dog.I spend months away from home on the road, in many motels, I have never felt so welcome or comfortable in a Motel. If you ever find yourself in the Traer, IA or for that matter, Waterloo, Cedar Falls or anywhere in a 50 mile radius. stay here.

This place is great! We just stayed here for two days this week and it was our second time staying here. If it wasn't for "The Golden Door Motel" in Traer, IA we would not have had a motel to stay at since we were visiting relatives in the close-by town of Dysart, IA which has no motel. The rooms were very clean, we rented 3 separate rooms at the Golden Door Motel this past week and all 3 rooms were great, all very clean. I wouldn't hesitate staying here again.
