“Surprising Value & Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 4, 2012

I've now stayed at the Turf twice. For around fifty bucks, you get a clean bed, hot shower, pool access and free parking, TV and some rooms have microwaves and/or fridges. Just ask! My partner left his phone in the room when we left town--and a week later, we phoned the front desk and they saved his phone for us. We showed my ID to pick it up--no worries! Great service. I will stay there again. Hope to see the butterflies in the butterfly garden when it's the right season.

“Very clean!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 31, 2011 via mobile

This motel is cleaner than any motel I have ever seen. The pool is sparkling clean and the gardens are well kept. I would rather stay hear than any other hotel down the street. I will recommend this place to everyone and will tell people about this place. I had to stay at this motel because my apartment was not ready to moved into and I had to move out of my last place, so I stayed here. Great place and love the butterflies and humming birds that seem to live there.

“We love fifties/sixties chick...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 22, 2011

This is a clean, well lighted place with comfy beds near a family reunion! We'll be back. The staff and service is fantastic & the clientele quiet. There is even a hummingbird garden near the pool.

Room Tip: All rooms have a view of the retro oasis pool.

“If you want to stay in a clean, economical and no-frills motel, this is it.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2010

I spent one night in this motel because I needed to stay close to my daughter's home for one night and she didn't have accommodations for me. The motel was built in the 50's and the rooms are very clean and well maintained. All of the rooms are situated around a courtyard that includes a swimming pool and nice grassy area with plants and flowers. The motel is definitely a bare-bones motel with no amenities but if you simply want a room to sleep in and don't want to pay much then this is the place for you. The bed in my room was very comfortable but it was hard to sleep in the morning due to the fact there was no darkened drapes, only thin white drapes. The lady at the front desk was very welcoming, caring and helpful. This motel is located on a busy street and I was told that since my room was near the back of the property it was quiet but I could still hear the cars since I'm a light sleeper. There are plenty of restaurants and other businesses located nearby.

“Friendly, & Beautiful landscaping Inside.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 4, 2010

I stayed at Don's Turf Motel after a plumbing problem had occurred. The girl at the front desk greeted me and instantly made me feel good about staying there. She didn't mind showing me the rooms before I paid. For what people have heard they DON'T charge by the hour. I asked haha. The pool is extremely clean It's nice to lay out there. I would definitly stay there again. They don't have cable or WiFi but then again they are a MOTEL. They have regular TV with older TV sets. Nothing to complain about it's like people say don't judge a book by its cover.
