Telstar Motel 103 North Sunset Avenue, Decatur, TX 76234

"Just clean sheets, anything else is pretty dirty, not to mention the bed bugs, and inefficient staff"

"Don't stay here because he will tell yall he can't rent to yall anymore because he has to go in and deep clean after yall leave. He will also bad mouth you after you leave. He will accuse you of not having a job if someone helps you with a room. He has cameras in the rooms to know you don't take showers even when you take one daily."

"Renovation could help the appearance but Telstar is somewhat of a landmark for Decatur; so any updating would take away from its character. The owner is a really sweet man, it's hard to find nice people in hospitality these days. My rating is due to the friendliness and kindness of the staff."

"If you’re looking for opulence, luxury and five star accommodations, this place ain’t for you. If you’re an enthusiast of the pre-1980 style motels, the Telstar won’t let you down! Yes, it’s older and has its charm but it had plenty of hot water, just the right level of noise from the window unit and it’s clean. It’s not clean enough to eat off the floor but no bugs or stains. The simple architectural layout with the conventional convenience of parking in front of your room is fantastic. Your door unlocks with a sawtooth key mounted on a room number tag but (sadly) the room does not come with a rotary phone. The beds are not brand new but they’re not lumpy and seem mid-line for firmness. The owner/desk attendant/housekeeper is very friendly and openly appreciates his customers. Again, if you want new with zero charm, there’s plenty of franchises in the area you can reserve for a more episodic stay."

"Hidden but outstanding little motel. The bed was excellent, the air conditioner kept up with the ridiculously high outdoor temperature, the shower was great. I had the hood of my truck open and the manager/owner quickly came over to ask what was wrong and if he could help. Thanks again for the offer! The new cb radio works great. This is where I will stay on my way through."
