They sold our room to someone else mid stay

The hotel sold our room when we still had 1 day left. Came back to the hotel and used our key and came in to someone sitting in their underwear asking why we were coming into the room. Hotel had packed up all our stuff and had it in the office. They claimed the reservation was over and I produced proof it was not and there was 1 more day. Never ever had anything like this happen at a hotel. Incredibly unsafe and disrespectful.

Milan was awesome. He actually helped me check in a little bit earlier than the check-in time because I just got back on vacation so I was tired. Great service.

2 out of 3 times I’ve stayed I’ve encountered cockroaches. Floors sticky from not ever being mopped. Combative attitude displayed when confronted about the problems, although he did address it when we responded just as aggressively. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a seedy dump and I’ll never spend my money there again. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!

I understand this motel went through a significant renovation and that it used to be a real dump. But for $120/night I expected something better than what we experienced, which was kind of bleak and no frills. Our conjoined double room was freezing in one half due to the heating unit and bathroom only present in the other half. When I asked for an extra blanket, I was told no by motel staff. Location is primary reason to stay here.

Had a great stay at the Trolley stop motel. It's a older motel but has been remodelled and the beds are very comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.
