I rented a kitchen unit as we did not want to spend more money on eating out. Was advertised as fully stocked kitchenette. For a room that sleeps 6 people. We had 1 fork, 3 butter knives, 3 teaspoons and 1 tablespoon. 2 tiny sauce pans with one lid that doesn’t fit the pot and 1 small frying pan! Toaster was greasy and dirty! NO dish towel, dish rack or oven mitts! Kitchen was dirty, floors, all tables were dirty! The smoke alarm was constantly beeping due to needing a battery change. Not comforting at ALL! Curtains if you can call them that in the bedroom do not cover the window at all! So the building and parking lot behind the motel can see right in the bedroom!!! After attempting to have my first shower there with water pressure that you could probably pee harder than what was coming out. The first towel I grab off the rack looks like somebody used it to wash their dog with. Not sure if it had even been laundered!! I’ve been a cleaner and currently own my own cleaning business for over 30yrs. I’ve cleaned in every industry of cleaning and am discussed on the lack of everything at this motel. Not to mention pissed off for paying $900 for the week! You should be a shamed that you aren’t vetting the places you promote. The likely hood that I will ever use your services again, well let’s just say Hell will freeze over first!

Noisy

Our check-in process was smooth, and everything appeared to be in order when we arrived. However, on Saturday morning, we were abruptly woken up at 7 a.m. by the sound of loud construction. Unfortunately, we had not been informed in advance that this would be taking place, which was particularly disappointing given that we had a late evening the night before. The unexpected noise completely disrupted our rest, leaving us exhausted and frustrated for the remainder of the day. Clear communication about such disruptions would have been appreciated to allow us to plan accordingly.”

The GFI plug in the bathroom didn't work so the hair dryer was fixed to the wall so no moving it to a plug that worked. Flooring needs replacing quite badly. We had a kitchenette and one of the top drawers was in pieces so the cutlery was in the cabinets above the sink so hard to see and get. Of coarse we could have removed the tray and placed on the counter but................
