Mary

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The carpet near the bed smelled strongly of urine. Also, another guest was given our room, so they opened our door at 10:00 p.m. while we were in bed. The front desk person was completely unapologetic about these issues, even though I was very nice about it all. He just said, “so what do you want, to check out?” Since I did not have that option and needed to be there another night, he did let me change rooms. Although I wouldn’t stay here again, the upsides are that the pool is nice and clean, the location very convenient, and price is good compared to other motels in the area.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was an awful experience. Flew in from Virginia. Dirty sheets, door lock had been broken like it was kicked in. Rocks propped open the attic which was above the shower. Took a shower and immediately after walking around, my feet were black. Front desk guy was absolutely awful, and got a little aggressive about us wanting a refund & to check out. We left, and turns out he didn’t check us out, and now I’m battling a refund through Expedia. I am extremely disappointed, and this put a huge damper on my vacation.
