The staff was really nice. I had no shower curtain. I had to go ask for one after I took a shower because I didn’t realize it when I got into the shower. There was a water drip in the bathtub and the only way you didn’t hear it is if you kept the fan on in the bathroom. The door knob in the bathroom almost fell off. The side door outside could not be locked so it was open for anyone to come in to the hotel. The towels were very hard and had stains on them. The staff did offer to change rooms because of the water drip, but we had already been there a day so I declined. There was no hairdryer in the room, but I did go down and asked for one and they gave me one. Overall, the staff was very nice, but the hotel needs a lot of updating and it doesn’t look good on the outside and on the inside. Very loud and people hang big outside of hotel and hotel next door didn’t feel very safe

Front desk rep was kind. She stated there was no breakfast option since Covid and explained they had worked on taking that down online as an option. We specifically chose this hotel with breakfast being an option. Too thin of walls with kiddos. Still has old tethered sign up with another hotel name. Not sure if this is an adjoining hotel or what.

Receptionist was nice. Easy check-in and check-out. Front desk area was clean and neat. Toilet did not flush, had to fill a bucket to flush it. Bathroom door handle was broken. Shower had hot water and good pressure. Bed sheets had stains on them.

Mold infestation

Small run down motel situated between 2 other motels. Sketchy buildings & area. Felt very unsafe. Motel looks nothing like pictures and didn’t have documented offerings. Our room was COVERED in mold. Told front desk, the only other room they had didn’t have A/C or heat. Front desk acted perplexed & said “no one else had ever complained.” Its clearly visible, so are they not cleaning? Do they just not care? Very hazardous! I believe it was room 103. Also ground lvl w/ slide open window. (Wld not recommend for solo or female travelers.) Checked out & got a refund. Front desk person was nice, that’s about all I can say.

The shower in our room didn’t work and there were no employees around to even tell someone about it. The bed seemed clean enough but everything else was kind of sketchy looking. The employees are always either no where to be found or standing outside smoking, but they were at least a little friendly.

GROSS.

Absolutely disgusting. Stains all over the bed including mold, smoke detector was missing with wires exposed. Hair in the tub. We ended up leaving and sleeping in the car. I asked the front desk for new sheets and got the following response “ yeah I know but that is all we have right now. We are waiting for a shipment” I said okay.. also the smoke detector was yanked off the ceiling with wires hanging down. The front desk said “yeah we needed the batteries, but there is another one in there” There was not another one in there. Then I said the dresser was kicked in to which she said “yeah, we already knew about that, don’t worry we have your back” Absolutely terrible experience. We checked out after the concert and slept in the car.
