Great Place to Stay

We were a little nervous to be staying in a motel at first but the service was wonderful as soon as we arrived and the rooms were well kept. I would highly recommend Stay Inn Motel to anyone looking to book a quick and easy place to stay.

Motel owner / operator was friendly, accommodating to checkin and requests. Keyless entry was useful Room was clean but outdated, bathroom water faucets were marginal but worked, bed was comfortable Soap/shampoo packets were of mediocre quality Many Restaraunts available in short walking distance, Culver’s was very close. Several family type eateries also close by

Very rough looking, no key to the room, just a code for the door, smokie smell in the room itself. There was a sign in the bathroom to not flush toilet paper. Driveway had a huge pothole. Only took cash and had an ATM in the office. Nothing was computerized.

I was looking for an inexpensive, convenient, and comfortable place to stay for 2 nights while I was attending a huge volleyball event in nearby Oshkosh. This motel met all my expectations- The room was clean and adequate, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the cost was minimal for what the motel provided me with.

Percy was exceptionally accommodating. She has only had this business a little over a year. For being an older hotel it was very comfortable and affordable. It does need to be updated. Convenient location, close to the downtown district. Cute little town in Ripon Wi.

It is a very peaceful and clean hotel and the staff was outstanding! It does not have a very big parking lot and parking was a little tight one night as a vehicle parked over the line and we have a large pickup. Also, the internet is very spotty...I tried unsuccessfully to log on and the staff helped me but I was never able to stay connected as the connection was always bad. Unfortunately this meant the tv also didn't work as it required internet to use the firestick. Room was great though!

The owner was very friendly. There were a few ants in the room. Upon leaving he told us of a leak prior to our stay, which explained the humidity. Wish he had used a dehumidifier to dry it out before our stay.

We have absolutely no complaints about the Stay Inn Motel. Don't let the outside fool you - the rooms were very clean, modern enough, and super roomy. The guy who runs the motel is on site all the time, and was super welcoming and helpful. We will gladly stay again the next time we find ourselves in Ripon.

Struttura un pò datata ma ben tenuta, pulita e confortevole, wi-fi da migliorare. Personale cortese e disponibile, prezzo un pò alto per il reale valore del servizio offerto ma viene sfruttata la relativa vicinanza con Oshkosh nella settimana della manifestazione aerea.
