Good service average facility
The check-in service was excellent as well as the cleaning staff. The facility was just average. there was no AC, the toilet was original equipment and very low and small and was difficult for senior to navigate. the parking was very limited and did not accommodate all visitors.

Not what it used to be
Not what Atomic Motel used to be. Front desk and room designs are still fun, But there are no more bikes, details in bathroom and bedrooms are starting to fray, and the spirit is kinda lost.

Hoping just flee bites
I stayed on the second floor in 221. It seemed clean but I woke up covered in bites. I’m really hoping it was just flee bites instead of the other horrible alternative. Just in case I had to put everything I brought to the motel into plastic bags and straight to the laundry mat. Never had so many bug bites before!

Loved the many details in decor, perfectly blended with all necessary modern comfort.
Front desk personnel was friendly and very kind. Homebaked muffins for breakfast.
A truly hidden gem!

Not worth the price. Landlord special
Packed parking lot, one of the beds was old and horrible, another was ok. Bathroom was small small small, with a moldy windowsill, ceiling. Everything had five coats of killz over it, like a renovation was actually just the landlord special.

Super clean and great staff. Quirky decoration in the rooms was nice. Walls were a bit thin. We could hear our neighbors snoring but the front desk offers ear plugs. Overall great stay.

Cute, but needed a bit of an update.
The staff at check-in was very nice. The room was a bit outdated and needed a fresh coat of paint; there were spackled spots that were not painted over. Also, we could hear our neighbors come in late and everything they were doing in their room! It was cute, but we were not able to get a good night's sleep.

Astoria Atomic
Good location, nice staff. The rooms are hot and need some sort of fan or AC. If you open the windows it gets smoky and loud. It also does not feel safe as they do not lock partly open and someone could easily crawl through them.
They do allow pets so that is very nice.
