this motel is very handy to the central shopping mall within walking distance.
The electric blanket control switch on the right side of the bed facing the bathroom needs to be looked at. The light on the blanket control is not staying on all the time when on first option.

We loved the location, space and cleanliness of the motel. Thank you.
The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful.
We didn’t realise the spa wasn’t in working order. The gym facilities were run down and dirty.

Perfect location for park up and walk.
Great location close to central city. Room layout was awesome. Double spa bath was amazing!
The shower was not great. The pillows were awful - looked puffy but went flat as soon as you out your head down.

The 2 bed unit nearest the road was surprisingly quiet at night. We had all we needed for our stay. The location is excellent, with a short walk to the Plaza and The Square for shopping and food. Fast EV car chargers…

Questions about Rose City Motel

What time is check-in and check-out at Rose City Motel?

Check-in is from 1:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Rose City Motel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Rose City Motel?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Is breakfast included at Rose City Motel?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does Rose City Motel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Rose City Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Rose City Motel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
