There was an odor in the room. There was a plug in fragrance device in an outlet but it didn’t hide the underlying smell and it actually made it worse

We like the pricing for the time of year. The South Bay Motel has always been a very clean hotel and that's why we come back plus it's conveniently located. There's a good fridge, tv, and microwave. No phone or clock, or in room coffee machine but it's next door to a Dunkin'. So great stay, clean room, and safe parking.

I got here to check in, and they workers at the front desk refused to give me a king size bed, they had a couple available. This place is dirty and broken down, the cabinet door is broken and i almost hurt myself opening it to gwt to the refrigerator. This is the worse motel ever. I hate this place the owners are secretly recording guest they have been doing it for years especially in the rooms they use for short stays, and the rooms with jacuzzi bath tubs. The cameras are in the mirrors and hidden around the room. This place needs to be shut down
