I had to pay full price for room at hotel as they got no information from you and they would not accept anything from me pertaining to the booking. The clerk tried to call you as well as myself and all we got was the automated mess with no options to talk to anyone

DO NOT RESERVE! Horrible experience

Despite having a confirmed reservation and showing it to the receptionist, she couldn’t acknowledge the email with all the details of the reservation, even with a confirmation number. She could see I had a reservation but unable to figure out how to access it, even with the help of Hotels.com staff.

This was the second-worst motel I have ever stayed in. The clothes rack fell off the wall in the middle of the night, the shower head was only 4 feet high, the bathroom mirror was hung 6 inches too low, the A/C was noisy. I reserved a non-smoking room; my room was a smokers room.This motel needs to be razed, and something useful built on the land.

Gross

Bathroom was absolutely disgusting. The bathroom floor hadn’t been cleaned in weeks… hair and dirt all along walls. AC unit full of black yuck. Not a nice place. Wasn’t expecting a 5 star hotel for $100, but I was at a minimum expecting it to be clean.
