Disliked: Amenities
Bare minimum basic. Rundown outside, needs a swerping of cigarette butts, etc off the sidewalk. Inside was okay. Checkin was a runaround, from 1 building to another to another. But wifi worked, and it was not noisy.

The room was clean. The air conditioner need to be cleaned. The curtain on the window has the old hooks and majority of the hooks are missing. The microwave could use cleaning out. The freezer on the mini fridge needs the ice defrosted out. . I have stayed in different rooms here at A Prince of Wales Motel, and this last one I stayed in has been the worst.

Mosquitoes

Parking was in front of the room but the road noise was terrible. Also AC unit was not secured to the wall and had a gap for bugs to crawl in. Definitely received a few mosquito bites there.

Clean but a bit down on its heals

Wi fi was so slow I used my cell service - tv was stuck on a single channel “drape” over window looked like a brownish sheet. Bath towels were thin and sheets were a brown color (not dirty just the color).

Total trash.

Very disappointing, did not feel safe, could not sleep based on having to constantly peek out at my vehicle to make sure that it was safe, broken mirror in the bathroom, very messy room, walls had dirty smudges all over it, bed had multiple stains, cheapest towels you can find, no special amenities whatsoever, Definitely not recommended.

Implausible reason for inoperable shower

Shower inoperable. When i called front desk, was give lame excuse that water was off from town. I informed the clearly new employee that the sink and toilet water were working, but was told same story. I finally suggested they give me key for next room, where I showered and returned key.

This is an old property. It has had some improvements: new TV, new refrigerator (ice cold), microwave works, but you have to unplug the refrigerator to use it, or unplug the tv. Stains on the one bed comforter, stains on the lamp shades, holes in the walls stuffed with toilet paper????? The shower sprayer is newer, but the hot and cold spigot knobs are 1970-ish, and are partially stripped. The shower window won’t lock completely either. I will say, there were NO BUG, which is a big in my book. No bad if you need to crash for a night, but extended stays????
