The noise was rowdy until about 1am, when I complained to MICHAEL (night clerk) he told me “if the noise is really bothering you, you can call the police”. I told him “that’s YOUR job”. Kids were running races in parking lot and yelling and screaming. The adults with these kids were smoking blunts and standing on the stairs. At 6am the same people were talking loud and playing their music very loud, with a BOOM BOOM BOOM, right in front of our room. Called the front desk and was told they were busy and they would come out as soon as possible (which never happened). Second night was better, noise quieted down at about 11:30pm.

Horrible E-Z 8 Motel - It was not E-Z it was Old!

When I checked into the E-Z 8 Motel, I was required to present a government ID for everyone in my family—an unusual request that immediately raised concerns. The room bore no resemblance to the photos, which had shown vibrant colors and a modern layout with a bathtub, sink, and vanity. Instead, we found a drab, outdated space. The desk was so worn it looked like it belonged in a junkyard, and the beds were extremely uncomfortable, with only saggy springs to support us. The bathroom was especially disappointing: it looked decades old, with just a thin curtain for a door, no separate vanity, a basic free-standing sink, toilet, and a shower without a curtain. The condition of the motel was so poor that my family pleaded with me to leave. We ended up not staying at E-Z 8, leaving the room for the next guest/sucker. Before reserving the room, I checked the E-Z 8 Motel’s reviews— there were glowing 10 out of 10 scores, which I now question their validity, given my experience. I paid $235 for a room that was nothing like what was advertised, with subpar, outdated furnishings and amenities. I am therefore requesting a full refund for the E-Z 8 Motel’s failure to deliver on what was promised.
