I had stayed at this motel a number of years ago and it was okay, nothing spectacular. So when my son, daughter-in-law and one of my granddaughters needed to stay up in that direction for a doctors appointment early in the morning, that this being just a few miles away from the appointment, I thought okay. WOW, has this place really gone downhill fast. I have worked on many section 8 apartments that are in much better condition than this pig sty. First off, there is supposed to be free WI-FI, such was not the case, no internet access and the lady down at the front desk had no clue on what to do. Secondly, the door hasp has been forcibly broken off and not repaired. Did they have a break-in and not report it, much less repair it? He had to wedge a chair under the door handle for safety. Thirdly, there is a huge gap under the door to let all kinds of critters in and out of the room. Fourthly, the smoke detector has been removed. Maybe that's why the place smelled like cigarette smoke? Number 5, the carpet was torn up in a number of locations. Number 6, the headboard trim was torn off of the wall and not repaired. Number 7, the TV remote was missing the back cover. And number 8, even though they continue to advertise "continental breakfast", there was no such thing at all.
I suggested that they be given another room, but they were so exhausted from their long drive and it was hard to say that any other room would just as trashy as the one that they were in.
