Bates Motel

Pulled into the driveway and was immediately confused because what was online was not what I pulled up to. I got my keys and went to park my car and while doing that some little lady outside looking on the ground everywhere for drugs. I parked my car and went into the room floor was dirty bathroom had hair everywhere shower, floor, sink and toilet. I will not get started on the linens, photos speak for themselves. Do not stay here I checked out about 30 minutes later and I didn’t receive all my money. They charged me for a whole night and what I paid for was not worth it.

I did like the free breakfast included, but there was no eggs provided while I stayed there. Out of the three front desk people I encountered one of them was very nice warm and friendly. The other two were the opposite very cold and not friendly at all. The room did have an odor of cigarettes which went away after our second night but it's still there. The chairs in the room for the table are wobbly and in on the verge of breaking. I did like the room service they provided they did what I requested giving you towels and clean the room. It was a last minute stay due to my apartment having to have work done.

We were there for our grand-daughter's birthday. Location suited us. Pity that the waffle-maker never seems to be used. Whole-wheat bread would also be a nice addition.

Better in the past

Another last minute single night stay.. Having stayed here many times in the preceding years, I was disappointed to find the condition of the property had diminished. The phone in my room didn't work; apparently they've disabled in-room phone service completely, so no wake up calls. However, as they've removed all the instructions to use the phone, I couldn't turn off the flashing red light that indicated a waiting voice message. Worse yet, they removed the clock radio, which used to be a standard feature. I would have used that for a back-up alarm. Not all the lights in the room worked. There were only 3 hangars in the room to hang up my clothes for the overnight stay. on top of all that, the refrigerator in the room had a broken door which wouldn't close completely. Therefore it ran constantly (for who knows how long) and made weird noises that kept me awake. I finally had to unplug the refrigerator so I could get to sleep, as I had to leave around 4:30 am. Not what I expected.
