Deceptive room photo

I liked that booking.com dropped my rate. the fee was certainly not worth it if you walked in off the street.

Dirt on the carpet, broken parts on the closet shell, old and peeling grout on the old and stained tub. The room was set up exactly as the photo, but looked 50 years older. The toilet seat was stained, and the TV remote was unusable. The staff didn't speak English well enough to understand how to tell me what was going on, or leave the room when I was tired of watching them try to reprogram the remote. The crack addicts at the end two units were fighting, and their guests pounded at my door at midnight. At 3:00 a.m. someone was kicking in the door downstairs. We packed and left.

Someone Has To Say It!

The weekday prices. The location, the cleaning maids.

The price on the weekends always have me wondering. This motel has been operating for ages. Yet they don't do anything to repair the rooms or at least INVEST in the motel itself. The room I was in recently had what looked like MOLD on the wall (picture posted);I wonder how safe) sanitary it really is. Another room had a screw sticking out the wall at the height of a small child. These are REAL concerts that go unaddressed. Yet, you guys have Teslas and Mercedes Ect. Don't put other peoples wellbeing at risk over some luxurious lifestyle that you guys want to have.

Good place to sleep a night or two

Pools nice, private, easy and simple

Outdated , damages, cigarette smell in non smoking rooms

The place is use for people to do drugs. Not a good place to stay.

I asked for a non smoke room, because my daughter has asthma. And the room has a very strong smell of smoke; and when we turn the heater on was even more strong.

Bad

The best part was leaving.

Only one of the rooms was presentable. The other was dysfunctional. No mirror above the sink. Impossible to shave or for a woman to put on makeup. The beds were so bad I had a sore back for days.

NEVER IN MY LIFE WILL I PASS BY YOU AGAIN, IWILL TELL EVERYONE NOT TO RENT FROM YOU!!!!

NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!!! NOTHING!!!! Everything was dirty and smelled bad, the toilet bowl was full of vomit, I asked for another room, it was hard to get it, the TV didn’t work, we had to stay overnight because we didn’t know the area and it was past midnight! I do not advise anyone to pay for such room, it is disgusting, we are still in democratic country and civilized, they should not be allowed to operate in such dirty condition.

Everything was dirty, the price is height to stay in such a disgusting place!!! SHAME ON YOU!!!! For watch you offer to people! Take advance for the pictures posted on thr booking, which are fake, don’t check if it’s clean, I found VOMIT IN THE BATHROOM NEXT TO THE TOILET BOWL, bad smell, miserable, everything at the level of an underdeveloped country, shame on you !!! You were raised in misery so it doesn’t mean you offer you misery to others!!!! I will poste on all social networks how dissatisfied I was, I don’t want money back, I WANT TO RENOVATE to provide comfort for thous who are in transit!!! You people are kidding, because you got an advantage in this country!!!!I know who you are!!!in the country where you are from , dirt is normal, but here it is not normal!!!

Very poor

Well check in was good, and well that's about it

There's so many things, one of the main things was the bed was so uncomfortable, I felt the springs. Got a room as non smoking and once I went in felt the after smell of cigarettes, the room looked run down and well not maintain good, as when repairs were needed , well they did a poor job on the repairs.

Passable

The sheets had a lot of human hair, short and black. We had to sleep on the top sheet. The water pressure for the shower was weak and the handles were broken, they were hard to turn off.

No tell Motel for $250 a night...

It was conveniently located. And, the air conditioning once turned on did cool the room down.

We rented two rooms. There were used/dirty towels in one of our bathrooms. The other shower had no cold water function only hot water. When brushing my teeth a cockroach crawled out of the drain.

Disappointing

The location was good and when we had problem with the room they found us another room.

It kinda felt like the owners were not crazy that we were there. I would just encourage them to be a little friendlier to the people who stay there.

Absolutely Terrible!

The place is a drive. Holes in the wall, leaking tub, mold and smelled like wet dog and cigarettes.

Everything was awful, I wouldn't recommend it to my enemy.

Ok. The room was organized and clean but it had a smell.

No meals were offered when booked the room. Beds aren’t confortable.

Please use some deodorant for the room. It has a smell.

It met our needs. Probably won't return.

Shower was hot, bed was clean and comfortable, the AC worked fine. The main advantage was its closeness to the Scottish Festival in Breagle Park.

The room needs a complete refurbish. There were many holes in the walls, ceiling and carpet. A seemingly vagrant man kept knocking on our door at 7:00 in the morning.
