This place is cool, the owner needs to upgrade on quite a few things, but other then that, the office staff are so awesome, friendly, professional and stay out of your business. Grounds are nicely kept, and the rooms a clean, my only suggestion would be the owner take some funds and put it towards just some minor updates. I recommend those place all the time!
This motel has 2 rooms. 1 shower but 2 rooms with two beds. A full size refridgrator too. The owners are new and very nice they were kind enough to order me a taxi and help me get to the max station
My stay at Aaron Motel was fantastic! The room was spotless and well-appointed, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. With its prime location and excellent service, I'll definitely be returning on my next trip.
Didn't stay very long but I will say a friend had a room and it is definitely in a more shady part of town. Keep an eye on everything.
I didnt actually stay here. A chick I know was staying here and I just stopped for some top. Good place too get high for the night for cheap. Bring a girl or fidn one out front it's all the same. Recommend!
The owners are always super friendly and professional. The property is exceptionally clean, especially for the neighborhood in which they are located. The property is safe, quiet, small yet efficient. Plenty of hot water, and microwaves and refrigerators in each room It is a small property but hay is what makes it so nice. The owners have worked hard to make their motel the best part of my trip. Just bring your own shampoo.
I can't say enough positive things about my experience. The room was modern and inviting, and the staff's hospitality was truly exceptional. From the thoughtful amenities to the convenient location, this motel exceeded my expectations in every way possible.

My stay at Aaron Motel was a true gem. The room was a haven of comfort, with every detail carefully considered. The staff's professionalism and the motel's tranquil surroundings made it a top-notch choice for a restful getaway.
This Motel definitely is not one of the most fanciest Motels , Nor is it close to spectacular BUT , It Is fairly Clean and acceptional ! Majority of the rooms that are here are mainly a Studio with a fridge ' some have a full size fridge , some have a mini fridge ' . There are only about 5 or so rooms that come with a separate additional Bedroom in the back with a door that locks to give you privacy from the other bed in the front part of the room as you walk in ! Price Wise , It isn't to bad ! It's definitely not an outstanding location! But it is what it is !
Sprawling district with cool dining & breweries, OMSI displays & nature areas like Mount Tabor Park.
