At first check in was ok, as I booked it online, however things did change from there. This is a budget hotel to start, so I was expecting basic things and nothing fancy. Well there was no microwave, TV did not work, desk but no chairs, frige barely gets cool and freezer takes some time to freeze. I informed the front desk about this and they said that they would try to find those for me, as not all the rooms come with them. Maintenance did come and replaced the TV, night shift did locate a microwave and chairs on my second day at night. I wanted to leave a good review for getting the microwave and the other things but things changed afterwards. The microwave was not working by the afternoon which was less than 24hrs from receiving it, I notified front desk twice and that bugs (roaches) were coming out of it, so I placed it outside the door for them. I didn't receive a replacement and had to buy more food and heat up at work due to time. Finally I extended one more day and did so online before the check out time for my reservation, which was more convenient for work and payday. I got the confirmation online before check out and going to work. When I returned, I was told that I "checked in early" and did not check out first to check back in at the actual check in time to process; I must pay a $20 fee as of this review. I did not see this in their booking policy and it wasn't listed on the third parties requirements for the hotel either. I have sent this to be looked into.

Horror Show

To begin - we did NOT stay at this motel. We felt that we would not be safe there and ended up sleeping on the floor of someone else's hotel room. We took one look at this room and turned our key back in. The motel is refusing to give us $200 back and Hotels.com is refusing to help. They claim that they try to provide the best places for their customers. If that's true, they should remove this listing form their site. This dump is basically a rundown motel in a bad part of town. It doesn't even technically have a road that leads up to it. You have to turn into a mangled parking lot, drive across it, and pull up to the building past the piles of garbage. The "lobby" or managers office smells like a pet store. There was a birdcage in there but no bird. Hopefully, it had escaped long ago or died. The door to the room faced the street, and we had to shove it opened it get in. The inside looked like a scene from a David Lynch movie. The TV was on but on mute, and the room was very dark with ancient furnishing. Absolutely the creepiest room I've ever seen. The shower had a sliver of used soap in it but nothing more. Just unacceptable at any price. The concierge at the Sherton said that Gordon Highway is an unacceptable part of town she would not be caught dead in. This is experience was so bad I will never return to Augusta, Georgia. Hopefully, my credit card company will help me out.
