The room was filthy (stain on blanket, holes in bathroom tile, holes in walls/ ceiling, hair all over bathroom floor, etc). Around 2 AM, I woke up to the sound of water droplets hitting the foot of my bed and the floor beside my bed. The ceiling was leaking, and the leak was spreading along the ceiling as the water kept falling from different spots. Good thing my bag and laptop were not beside my bed because they would have been ruined. I do not think this was an isolated incident as the ceiling was discolored, so it has probably happened before, and we were told that the upper units have jacuzzis, so if water gets on the floor of those units, it is likely to happen again. We were allowed to move to the room next door due to the leak, so we made several trips hauling our belongings into the new room at 2 AM and were unable to fall asleep for a while because the new room was hot and we had to wait for the A/C to cool it down. Immediately upon walking into the bathroom of the new room, I noticed hair on the "clean" bath towels and a dirty floor. We could not find any outlets except for maybe one, and the power strip USB port did not work. This motel was USD $178.53 (CA $202.16) per night, so I had higher hopes for the quality, but when I went to the front office to check out in the morning, they kept insisting that I got a deal on the price due to booking early and everyone else was paying much more (crazy that it's that expensive to begin with). Also, parking was not good.

We booked a queen room with a hot tub but when we got there we were told that it was "under renovation" and so a regular room was provided at a discount. This put a damper on the weekend since we were really looking forward to the hot tub. If you book anything be sure to also call the hotel to confirm the room.

Bed bugs motel.

I woke up in the middle of the night with bed bug bites How disturbing. I google this motel just to find out 5 mnths ago they had a family bitten as well. Hotels.com how can you support a business like this that has no consideration for their guests. Please hold these Establishments Responsible. I will never stay here again !and i will let everyone I know. What happen to me

The front desk area looks like someone is living in it. Dirty dishes and garbage all over. The room was gross. Dried urine on the floor in the bathroom. There was not a clean surface anywhere. I slept in my clothes because of the whole non-hygenic vibe. There was no hot water coming from the tao in the bathroom just from the bath tub. The towels had dirt marks on them. The only reason i didn't leave was because it is right across from the olg stage. My destination.
