Older motel, not much for amenities

It's an older place. They've done some updating, like LED ceiling lights, but our mattress was old style with actual noisy springs inside! Not as clean as I would've liked - cursory cleaning without attention to detail. Room smelled like deodorizer covering up smoke, in a non-smoking room. Looked like they expected people to smoke right outside the door. We stayed 3 nights but probably wouldn't stay there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a very difficult stay. The room reeked of cigarettes, someone had pulled the smoke detectors off the wall and hidden them up on some shelves, the sheets and pillows had stains all over them, and there was other peoples’ hair and other unnamable things on the beds as if the sheets had never been washed and the beds had never been remade. I understand this was a budget motel, but no one should have to endure that even for the price paid.
