1. Check-in time is unreasonable, 4:00 PM is absurd 2. Clearly not the place for you if you like to have a great sleep, there are no blackout curtains. 3. I asked for cutlery to eat food and they asked me to get it from some nearby restaurant 4. No air conditioner at the place, it was heating during my visit

It seems the motel was recently acquired from remote owners. The room we stayed in was not good at all. Most modern motels have AC so you expect it. This motel only has small AC units in the upstairs units. Our room was hot, sink did not drain, the cheap fans they give you are loud. They leave the lights on all night and the shades are trash so you have light in your room all night. I would avoid. Ballys has great rooms.
