Falcon Nest Motel

We only stopped here because it was late, dark and we were tired. There is another motel nearby I suggest you go there. The owner on reception was friendly but that’s the only good point. Our room smelt of old cigarettes. Was kept awake by the activities next door although to be fair 4 times between 1am and 3am is a good performance. Hope he gave a tip. Was also concerned for my car.

Maybe OK- C- if you get a good room. DO NOT PAY IN ADVANCE OF SEEING YOUR ROOM! Liked · OK value if you get a redone room. Disliked · STAFF OVERSOLD ROOMS! I had had a reservation for several weeks. I called midday the day of my arrival to confirm how late I could arrive-- I wanted to arrive maybe 10pm... Very friendly staff (who was the manager it turned out) told me the office was open until 11pm and if she would keep it open a little extra if I wanted. I assured her I would be there before 11pm. I arrived about 10:30pm. There was one customer ahead of me checking in. Then I got a room assigned from a "trainee" with the Manager watching. I got vague directions to the room. I wandered 5 minutes circling the entire building once before parking in a place that originally had been too narrow for my compact car! The 2nd time the next space over- the motorcycle driver kindly moved it over the the side of his space so I had room in the only open space. The room was on the opposite side but since the room numbers could not be read in the dark , I did not know that until another 10 minutes of searching... The room assigned had no A/C and was 85deg inside!! I went back to the office and asked for another room! The only other room available was also a not regularly used room! The main light switch did not work, you could not turn out the overhead lights without unscrewing the bulbs. It gets worse- the bedside lamp and its 120V receptacle did not work either. The window Ac work poorly and sounded like a freight train was coming down the track! It took 4 hours to get that room from 86deg F to something reasonable. I got to bed 1.5hrs after arrival! The room was mostly freshly painted but the floor had large scratches in it. The TV minifridge, & coffee maker worked. The minifridge was old but cold. The next morning, the manager was friendly but claimed they could not give a partial refund since she was not the owner. I said I wanted a much better room for the next two nights or she had not heard the end of it. I did get a better room with newer tables and appliances including an almost new and quiet A/C.

I stayed here in May with my family for a night. It was perfect! The room was clean and comfortable and had a kitchenette and bathroom. The staff were lovely and friendly. The staff posted my AirPods after I left them behind, wish was really good of them!

Whether you are looking to lay low while on the lam or just a quiet place to smoke some crack - the Falcon Nest has something for everyone! Start out by booking a double room, upon arrival you’ll marvel at the single room you get instead for a higher price. Other features and amenities include: A semi-functional toilet, complete with authentic crack burns The tv lovingly perched on top of the refrigerator A grand view of the back alley overlooking the neighbourhood "wellness" center and a condemned duplex. Colorful characters strewn about the parking lot will give you more company than you bargained for. A shower that gives the illusion of being peed on Not a lamp or overhead light to be found? No problem, the oven light will give off all the lighting you will need. After all, the less you can see, the better! No AC? Don’t worry, a great cross breeze can be achieved by opening the window and the door, allowing your neighbours to walk in on you while you’re changing. Need I say more? The falcon nest motel, look for it in Duncan along the highway tucked away just behind the McDonald’s. If you happen to miss it (and you will) google maps will send you in circles while constantly telling you you’ve arrived, no matter how far away you drive. Nothing says “well designed” like a full kitchen but no table or chairs. Stay as long as you like, the cops won’t be finding you here. Just make sure housekeeping fishes all the bodies out of the pool before you dive in. If you survive your stay, you might even get your picture added to their wall of luckiest guests!
