Matthew

Disliked: Staff & service
Never had a chance to stay here. I booked through Travelocity more than a month before my stay. Booking was confirmed. When I tried to check in, the front desk person could not find my reservation, said it was lost because they are “debranding” from Motel 6, and did not offer to help me any further. Thankfully I used the pay later option so I didn’t have to fight to get my money back, but this was an extremely poor customer service experience from both the hotel and Travelocity.
