When I first walked into the room, it smelled of marijuana, I went to use the bathroom, and the water was yellow, the light above the vanity took a long time to come on and then the television didn’t work. I ended up walking in the room and flip-flops because I saw a chunk of something that I wiped off the floor. Not impressed at all.

Room was clean but bathroom door was hard to shut and had a hole from someone kicking it maybe? Took us a bit to find the entrance because it’s right next to another motel and no sign on door or above it like pictures showed.

I passed by it twice, not well lit. Very run down looking. Front desk area looks like a hourly hotel. Staffing you can't understand had to asked several times. Check in wasn't until 3pm. I arrived around 2pm they wanted to charge an extra $10. The room had a strong odor and refrigerator didn't work. Paided for king size bed it had to be a full sizeI wanted to make an reservation somewhere else but I was for 3 days 2 nights. I didn't want to lose my whole payment. I told the owner/ management . Never again only* * Many shops nearby and eateries

Asked for maid service during our stay n cuz i spilled some sugar on the carpet so asked if they could vacuum in there n they said yes and nobody came in to vacuum. Then I asked her to remove the trash n she expected me to get it all ready n put it outside , plus I had to take the towels upstairs to our room! If I'm gonna do the housekeepers job then where is my paycheck?!?
