Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We enjoyed our stay at the Village Motel in Eldora very much. Our room was VERY clean, spacious, and well-equipped. Beds were especially comfortable. There are not a lot of lodging choices in Eldora. Luckily, the Village Motel fits the bill.

Clean, friendly and good location. Good price. Such an asset for small community to have a reliable place for guests to stay. Lots of good restaurants, parks and Pine Lake State Park nearby. We will be back!

My room (#8) was spacious, clean, and nicely decorated, complete with mini fridge and microwave. The wifi was much better than what I usually encounter in motels. A guest laundry is available. The office staff recommended local places to eat. This motel was much nicer than what I usually encounter in budget, independent motels. I will be staying here again.

My first time staying here and I will return. Very friendly, clean, reasonably priced. Had a microwave, fridge and coffee pot which took care of all my needs. The best small town motel I have stayed at.

Liked my stay but would like a table or something in the room and maybe a little more security on the door that leads to outside. No chain on door or anything for security, just a locked door. Other than that I would stay again.

Thanks for the suggestions Elizabeth. We've recently added updated furnishings to many of our rooms including a work desk and chair. We've also added chain locks to all guest room doors for added security. Hope to see you again soon!

I enjoyed our stay at the village, the hostess/gm was very nice and made everything work with our schedule. The rooms are clean and have all the amenities that our family needed. Thanks for room 2. Very nice price, would definitely return again

I pull up and the outside seemed nice and quiet. I was intown for work and needed a weeks stay. I paid $290 and recieved my key and was told to go drive around the corner and my room was in other building. Ok fine.... opened the door the room smelt like mold, stains all on the floor, stains on the bed sheets, tiny t.v and to top it off the sink in the bathroom was coming apart from the wall! I walked out drove back to the front desk and got my money back! GROSS

Response from Village M, Owner at The Village Motel
Responded 15 Jun 2015
I'm sorry to hear of your bad experience at our motel. Without knowing the specific room number, it's difficult to specifically address the concerns you raised. We shampoo carpeting in all rooms on a regular basis and replace stained or worn carpeting as needed. We have also done extensive bathroom repairs and upgrades in the past several months (hopefully having addressed the poor condition of the sink you mentioned). We are also in the process of upgrading all rooms to 32" flat screen televisions (we do have three rooms left with older televisions and unfortunately, you must have been assigned to one of those). We also upgrade beds and purchase new bedding on a regular schedule in an attempt to keep the rooms clean and comfortable. I apologize that we didn't meet your expectations and hope your stay in Eldora was otherwise enjoyable.

I have stayed there several times when in town visiting family. There are 2 locations and I have stayed at both. As others have said, this is an older motel but it is very clean and comfortable! With each room having a mini fridge and microwave, along with free internet access makes for a great value! The staff are very friendly and accomodating. I will deffinately continue to stay at this motel whenever I am in town!

I was only going to give a 4 rating because the building itself is older, but it is VERY WELL maintained!!! New paint and newr roof, spotless!! Everything was very clean and the rooms are nice sized for the price!! I think each room has a mini fridge & microwave also!! Will definately stay here if we're in the area again!!
