Willow Springs is conveniently located about four blocks from the old downtown area. There is a Zip's Drive in next door, a coffee stand at the street right in front of the motel, and a Mexican food restaurant in the other direction next door. Taverns about four blocks. Grocery store about one mile.
We stay at Willow Springs annually while we fish at the lakes south of Cheney so we don't need much as far as lodging is concerned. The rooms are just OK. Fairly clean. Somewhat comfortable bed. No microwave or coffee maker or refer in the room. I think there are people living at the motel so there are dumpy vehicles in the parking lot. One van filled with garbage bags?
The owner greeted us at the counter when we checked in. He is a nice man and he and his family have owned the place for about twenty years. I was a little surprised to find that he was going to charge my CC $40 per room for incidental damages (refundable at check out) instead of keeping my card open. We booked our room through Expedia and I didn't expect any additional charges when we arrived at the motel.
Willow Springs is an old, basic, three story facility. it is not the least bit fancy and there are trains running behind the building all night long. But the location is convenient to both the old part of Cheney and the newer part (lots of services and restaurants) a mile or so to the north. The room is an adequately clean place to sleep for a reasonable $90 a night. We will probably go back next year.
