Disgusting!!!!

I have no problem with old hotels and don’t expect gold; however dirt-lined door frames, a bathroom gerbarator (a pump that chews up your toilet waste and pumps it out due to being below sewer grade) that made the room smell like we were sleeping in an outhouse; was definitely NOT worth the stop! They made you prepay for your room before giving you the keys and then never came back to the office when you wanted to speak to them (an office in which was locked and you had to buss for service)! Now I understand why!!! Convenient but disgusting!

I am disabled but didn't ask for special considerations except no stairs and was given a drive-up room which I appreciated. However, I was not asked if I wanted smoking or non and was given a room in the smoking area of the property. After the clerk/manager(?) showed me where to park, he asked me soon after to move my vehicle b/c they were taking pictures. About 20 minutes later he asked me to move my car back to the original spot b/c he had given me someone else's spot! I walk with a cane so the inconvenience was ridiculous. I had to take a cab the next morning to my appointments and asked to leave my car there during that time which he agreed to, then he berated me because I was parked too close to the line and that they couldn't use that spot. I wasn't on the line, mind you, just too close to it. He BERATED me. Extremely unprofessional and certainly not the way to get clients to return.

Old motel. Price is expensive. Front door knob broken. Hard to use the key. Washroom sink knob rusty and broken. No aircon. Check out, front desk not available. Parking is free, but going in and out is a downhill/uphill challenge. Coffee maker is old and dirty.

Horrible

Not the same as pictures shown on website. Screen door did not close. And bottom pane off track. Bathroom door didn't close. No room to walk between bed and walk. Had to crawl in from end of bed. No place to hang towels. No hangars. No tea or coffee provided. There was a coffee pot. Small bottle of shampoo, no conditioner or bath wash. After getting out of shower walked to bed. My feet were black. Filthy floors obviously. Upon arrival we were told the room was an upgrade. What a joke. Ridiculous. Bed reasonably comfortable, towels clean. Not happy.
