The sheets were dirty. The toilet seat was broken and they charged me a $50 early check in fee, while they gave my mom the early check in for free.

The only thing I didn’t like is there a check-in system, there’s no more human beings, somebody in India on a video cam taking your information. They are very quick, but still, there was no real human experience.

Well, it was nice and prepared when i arrived, but house keeping didn't clean my room the 4 days i was there 😥😥😥. I asked twice for them to do so but they didn’t, and as a result, i had to ask for necessities like towels, toilet paper among other things. I hope that they fix that so next time, i come back to a clean room while on a multiple day visit.

Did not like checking in with a person on a screen. No one in the check in area. All handled on a screen. Not a safe feeling when no one there in person. Bathroom was 1/2 painted. Had two people beg for money in the surrounding area. The bed was nice and firm. The room was clean. I would not recommend staying at this motel.

There were no staff. It was a virtual concierge that seemed very impersonal and unsafe considering the hotel. The bed was awful and the bathroom was dirty. The wrapped cups for use had crumbs on them. Lesson learned. Could have spent 5 more dollars and had the nice hotel next door that was clean and had staff and continental breakfast.

Checking in with a person threw a computer was a little different but still easy and great service. The room was clean but has some cosmetic issues, chipped floor and paint. Its wasn't a bother though, you get what you pay for getting the cheapest motel around. My only complaint is the pool was closed down/ out of order and i purposely made sure to get a motel with a pool, so that was a let down for my son.
