EXTREMELY BAD SMELL

The space was decently big but as soon as we got in the room, there was a very bad lingering smell that threw us off from the moment we entered. It smelled like saliva and sperm, smell was so unpleasant we almost left instantly and my wife cried. We tried spraying perfume and get rid of the odor but it was too strong. The place is also not clean as the pictures show. Our bathtub was rusting and had yellowing everywhere and also pubic hair in the tub when we entered. The computer, styler, microwave are all very used and something you don't want to use. We barely stayed in the room due to this and had a very unplesant experience. Also I am not sure why this place is on HOTELS.com when it is clearly not a hotel. It's a motel, they have massage palor contacts on tissue boxes and give condoms for amenities. Super disappointed by hotels.com app.
