Used room

The first room had not been cleaned. The bed was messy, there was a white substance on the counter, and empty toilet paper roll stuff full of something that I couldn’t tell what it was, and toilet paper in the toilet. There was also a full cup of coffee sitting on the sink. It was obvious that the room had been used.

Not happy with my room and the feel of the motel.

I understand that there was work being done at the property. I can sort of handle handle that. But the office was in a tiny, cramped room. In my room, there was no shower curtain. And no remote for the tv. The whole vibe felt “off” to me. I decided to leave immediately. I went back to the office and asked for a refund. The woman at the desk was helpful. I had no problem with her. She refunded my $50 deposit to my credit card. But she said I’d need to get a full refund from you, Hotels.com. So I’m doing that now. My name is David W Johnson. Please let me know what else I have to do to secure my refund.

The remodel and upgrades were very nice!! The shower was amazing. There were strong smells of weed in certain areas/rooms. But thankful it was not near or around our room. Overall, I was very please with the room for the price. We stayed here a few years ago, and it was not this nice, so it was a pleasant surprise.

The lobby was being renovated when we arrived, and the check-in was in a room on the main floor (a little bit odd), but once we got to our room, it was fine, fully renovated, clean sheets, and the best thing in the room was the shower. It had a great water pressure! I enjoyed my showers. I guess once the lobby is renovated, everything will look more in place.

I was given a room with no air and the lights on one side of the room did not work!! I had small children with me and it was stressful because I lugged all of our stuff all the way to the third floor only to have to move way across the hotel property to another room!! When I call for a partial refund A lady called back but then never followed up!! It has been a week and I had to call them back!! When I called back the dude at the front desk didn’t speak fluent english and was rude after I asked to leave a message!!! Talking about what is the message Damn!!! The room I was moved to was clean!!

We checked in at 3:00 Saturday July 20th. The lady running the lobby was absolutely wonderful! We were there for a concert, so we rented the room mainly just to sleep after the concert. However we were disappointed that the TV didn't work and none of the soap dispensers had any type of shampoo, body wash or hand soap. Other than that, the room was very clean and comfortable.

It wasnt necessarily a bad stay. It was better than I thought it would be. The lady at check in was very kind. We had a safe quiet stay. The place just had so much trash all around the grounds. When we checked in there was trash from the previous renter outside our door and there it stayed even when we left. They need someone to clean the grounds.

Upon arriving the lobby was very unorganized with the remodel. No receipt could be given for lack of a printer. Room did not have amenities that were shown when booking. Main door did not work correctly. Limited bathroom toiletries.
