Staying at the Skylark was a mixed experience. On one hand, I appreciated the clean and comfortable room close to the airport, making it convenient for our early flight. However, the area felt a bit sketchy, and there were some cleanliness issues in the room that really dampened my stay. Overall, it offers decent value for the price, but I would advise caution.

I had a very mixed experience at the Skylark Motel. While it was conveniently located near the airport and had free parking right outside, the room was far from what I expected in terms of cleanliness and comfort. The service was decent when we checked in, but overall, I felt uneasy about the place. It might work in a pinch, but I wouldn’t recommend it for families or anyone looking for a reassuring stay.

The room I was in was noticeably dirty, with old bedspreads and a generally unkempt bathroom. Hard to feel comfortable here.

My family and I had quite a troubling experience at this motel when we were stranded at the airport. The room we were given was in a dreadful state, with filthy carpets and outdated furnishings. We felt unsafe almost immediately due to the atmosphere and the neighborhood. Luckily, we were able to get a refund and leave before spending the night, which was a huge relief. On a positive note, the staff was accommodating in processing our refund and calling a cab for us. Overall, I would not recommend staying here, especially for families.

My stay at the Skylark Motel was mixed. The location was convenient for our early flight, and the room was larger than expected with decent lighting. However, the noise levels were a bit bothersome, especially from the street and the nearby aircraft. Overall, there were positive aspects, but the experience could definitely use improvements.
