We needed a place to stay for a few days. We were really pleasantly surprised at how nice the room was! It was a great value, the staff was helpful and friendly. I have to admit, I was really surprised at just how nice it was!
Condition of the room was much worse than the pictures indicated. Lots of weird stains on the walls, chunks missing from furniture and fixtures, light not working, and so on. Good neighborhood, but it was pretty loud with so many people coming and going from the motel all through the night. Towels and sheets were nice, new, and clean though.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
the rooms are decent for the area and some are worth a little more if you ask me. closets and nightstands, dressers, fridge but not always a microwave, great water pressure and temperature regulation water heaters.
staff seems to not want people to actually stay there, they try to upsell the pricing while saying they’re giving a “great deal” if you purchase online for the second day they will kick you out letting you know that’s your last day.
if you pay cash they may give a discount up to $15-$20 but only then. be prepared for your consecutive days to start to rise with this reason or that reason. cleanliness of rooms is basic non resort post covid eww. not the hotels fault it’s hard to pay staff with the minimum wage so high and even then keeping them is another matter entirely. these ladies are given up to a hundred rooms a day and twenty mins is pushing it on timing to clean. leave it to a bunch of lazy stayers to leave the room a mess and filthy as all get out and poor maid in distress trying to get it to look decent let alone clean and sanitize? forget it it’s a pipe dream for smaller venues period. bring a spray bottle and a few rags and wipe down the floor and surfaces, it helps your socks and or feet stay one color and helps the entire stay trust me! of course the restroom, fridge, microwave and bed are the main focus of sanitation. this is a frequent police activity area and there is reason as to why.
Room is cleaner than most the others in the area and always has been.the staff is amazing here and they even worried about my pregnant dog, as did i, after a routine visit from pest control.. i’ve never encountered roaches and i wish i can say continue to not have had that issue , but i did have a few babies come in the room and yes, they died rather quickly before and after the treatment. they are diligently tackling the issue which is due to the growing transient issue from the recession. they take great care and pride in their work and the environment they provide to their guests! i wasn’t aware they accept pets at all and my baby having babies was accepted in like a family member and i wasn’t charged a fee! when we had a hiccup with a clients payment coming thru on time (very frustrating part of our pressure washing detailing and cleaning business) they allowed some leniency which was a relief from past experiences . the hot tub was a nice addition! the ac is kicking as well as the heater with no burning smell. Ample towels provided, no annoying knocks by maids trying to shove you out. room got a little bit of humidity condensation which left me amazed their was no mold anywhere, some neighbors were a little nosey but we all can be in sketchy places and this hotels always felt like a safe haven amongst the rest of the other hotels in the surrounding “strip”
Manager was extremely accommodating and patient with me despite having some issues at check in due to having lost my wallet and an on-line booking through another site. He accommodated us with an early check-in for a reasonable price. After dealing with that and completely exhausted we couldn't wait to get to our room. I was pleasantly surprised at how much its changed since my last stay. It appeared to have been remodeled, and everything was extremely clean, and was just like new. I was impressed at the attention to detail. A/C, Wifi & Cable TV, Fridge and Microwave! We enjoyed our stay so much we extended for about a week. I must say that i prefer the Belair over any other hotel/motel in this area. & we look forward to our next stay! 5 stars from an experienced cross county traveler! Thanks again Belair!!!
The room was not clean. The furniture had graffiti inside. I couldn't stay there because there was a cockroach in the room and I felt unsafe. Horrible experience from check in to check out.
More maintenance in general; also more often clean the couch covers etc. Put in a reading lamp on the table between the two beds so guests can read at night.
Rooms very run down. Microwave was filthy. Furnishing looks like it's from the 60s. Lobby ice machine broken. Shower head not working/spraying properly. Housekeeping staff was friendly and did the best they could to address concerns.
