Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The young man who checked us in and checked us out was very nice. He showed us to our room because we weren’t sure how to get there. When we got to the room and walked into the kitchen the first thing we saw was a bug on the counter. There were no trash bags in the kitchen garbage can and no paper towels. Inside the kitchen cabinets and kitchen drawers was disgusting; dirt or bug drippings (couldn’t tell what it was but it was filthy) were in every cabinet and drawer. There were no dishes nor eating utensils. The bathrooms looked as though they have never been updated; around the toilets was disgusting. We checked our mattresses for bed bugs. The comforter had stains. The duvet looked clean. One of our people sat on the couch for a minute or two and got up feeling dirty. It was a terrible experience. Merry Acres used to be the place to stay but not anymore!

Love the old school motel where you park outside your door. It makes moving in and moving out quicker. The floors were nice (not carpet). There were little shampoos and conditioners.

The remodeling was best my room refrigerators outside and paint and other items. I didn’t like being shoved to the back of the hotel neither and the frig wasn’t plugged in. The light near the bed didn’t work as well I had to unplug the microwave to plug up the brand new frig. It was an inconvenience to us.

Employees did not check in due to unsafe location and dirty. We tried to cancel the stay and they still charged us for the entire stay when we didn't even stay for 20min. Bunch of thieves. I will never use Expedia again and stay away from this property. Been a loyal customer for years booking hotels multiple times pr month for business but I will never Expedia them again.
