Place needs to be cleaner.

First of all, when we arrived to that place and they sent me to another site across the street. When we went into the room, the bedsheets were dirty as well as the towels. There was a dead roach on the side of the bed.

I reserved at La Siesta but was housed instead at Hacienda Motel. Not sure if La Siesta is even in business. Hacienda was dirty, smelled like mold, I had to ask for toilet paper. Lightbulbs missing and I had to turn on bare bulb with hand. Many other problems, overloaded switches, malfunctioning refrigerator, no way to make coffee, was not even supplied with drinking cup.

No esta operando, aparentemente esta en remodelación asi que te dirigen a otro hotel (Rodeway Inn). Pero se siguen anunciando como disponible en Exedia. Expedia debería revisar si un hotel en realidad no esta disponible para promocionarlo.

for your own good, take my word and dont come here

The outside of the facility had old furniture everywhere. I had to go to the “front desk” which was literally a woman standing behind a metal protective door. Then she had to call the person that works there which for some reason works at another hotel, so i had to wait for like 10 mins until she arrived. She took my payment and gave me a room key and just pointed in the general direction of the room. The second i opened the door i was horrified with what i saw! The floor was nasty with left over food and mud and so on. The bath tub had hair from people that previously used it. There was mold on the bathtub as well. The bed was disgusting. It was filthy. The pillow has literally turned yellow and brown. I instantly went back to the “front desk” and got a refund and went somewhere else. DO NOT STAY AT THIS PLACE!

Serious Disappointment

Never got to stay there, I had a reservation and called them up earlier that day to let them know I would be earlier than I thought was told I could check in as early as 2pm I show up at 2:30 and they are dealing with plumbing problems and thus have no rooms available despite me having a reservation. I understand accidents happen but they could have called me they had my number and they could have said something when I talked to them earlier so my opinion of them is not too good at this moment.

Old school motor lodge. Has potential.

Motel has loads of potential but VERY poorly managed. Evening check in and no staff onsite. Had to call a number for someone to come from another property. Was probably built in late 50's or early 60's multiple room, bedroom, bath and kitchen. covered garage for each room. No towels in room again had to call for someone to come from another property.

Absolutely horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This place is probably the WORST place we have ever stayed. Old, worn, unkempt and just plain shabby. Towels were stained and grey. Bath tub was stained and there was empty liquor bottles inside the bathroom vanity. Bed linens like the towels were stained and worn. Bedspreads had multiple cigarette burns. Microwave old and dirty. Window unit was dirty and broken missing pieces on face. Curtains were so worn there are holes. The remote is dirty and doesn't work good

the worst service I´ve ever got

There was nobody in reception, I had to call some number and someone came in a car just for the check in then he left, I got no towels nor the wi-fi password. I kept calling to get the wi-fi and after few hours somebody finally answer. It was terrible.

Abandoned Hotel

We arrived at the hotel and it seemed abandoned. We tried to check in, no one answered the door. There was a sign to call a certain number. We called at least 10 times over a 30 minutes period and no one answered the phone. We ended up having to find another hotel and did not get to check in until after my son's concert. The picture of the hotel is fraudulent.

Worst hotel in decades

I cannot express how disappointed I was in this property. Hopefully, the fact that I took the time to write this review to help people be able to avoid this place like the plague is evidence enough to show that NOBODY should stay here, ever again. This place needs a full remodel and a new staff to bring it back up to the lowest standards possible. If I could give this hotel negative stars I surely would.

S#¡¥hole!

Arrived, completely empty. No guest, no one at office. Simply a phone number scribbled on a dirty crumpled piece of paper wedged in the screen door that said "call this number". Long story short, person arrived in a car, said he'd show me the room. At this point i had to entertain my curiosity. He only had 2 rooms available. The other dozen empty rooms must not have been livable? This room had one bed (I reserved 2 doubles) and I should've captured a picture because a description couldn't paint a clear picture of what unbelievably was slightly above condemned. In the owners defense, he explained that they recently aquired this property and inherited it in this condition. The new owners own the Roadway Inn across the street. He offered me a room there. I was hesitant but overcame my skepticism and ended up with a decent 2 bed room that was clean and accommodating. The price was nothing special but at this late hour I was simply satisfied to sleep in a clean place.
