2/10

When we arrived at the hotel the staff was friendly and helpful. We got to our room and realized quickly that it was dark and stuffy and old. But the bed was clean. So we were going to stay but then we went in the bathroom to find hair in the sink and dirt/dust and hair on the baseboard heater and hair in the bathtub. On top of that we couldn’t get the door the door to lock properly. We didn’t end up staying the night and are still trying to get a refund from hotels.com

The lady at the service desk was beyond excellent, she really went above and beyond. The rooms how ever stink like cigarettes. The 1st room i was in...i had to be moved it was that bad!!! The 2nd room was slightly better. But because the airconditoners are right above the front door...anyone outside smoking. all that cigarette smoke goes right through the AC and into the room. I shut off the AC. Which made it slightly better. But then i roasted all night. I woke up with the worst headache, and had to have a second shower because all i smelt was cigarette I wouldnt not return to this motel. Very unpleasant

Seems like a social services residence for addicts. Noisy throughout night. Weed smoking smell common. Very uncomfortable.
