Do not stay here

I usually don’t do these reviews but I’m just here to warn people about staying here. The first room we were given it smelled of mildew. The carpet and sheet’s were filthy. So we went back to the receptionist and told him we couldn’t stay in that room. He took us to another room smelled better but it smelled musty. Pulled back the comforter and the sheets and mattress looked like blood all over it like big stains. The pool was closed and that area was filthy. The only complaint I can give is we did get a full refund from off the site I booked it which the motel didn’t have to do but did. They had an “A” rating and I really don’t understand how because the whole place inside out was not for anyone to be staying in.
