Dirty rooms and very poor customer service

Upon arriving I woke up the person at the front desk. I was told that I would need to come back later to receive my room assignment, even though it was well after the 3 pm check in time. I explained this, then the employee said they didn't know where I was supposed to go and I needed to wait for the cleaning person to finish. I suggested we try finding them or calling them, to which the front desk attendant offered me a room key for Room 101. I was told I could look at the room and, if it was clean, I could take it. The room smelled like an ashtray immediately upon opening the door so I returned to the front desk. After some more coaxing, the person working the desk called the cleaning person and assigned me a different room- 109. The room smelled of stale cigarette smoke, there were visible splotches of something white in and around the sink, the toilet had some mysterious purple goo on it, and the bed sheets had burn holes from cigarettes and stains on them. The room felt like it hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. I think the "cleaning" consisted of making sure the bed was clean and that there was a sample of soap on the counter, next to the sink. I returned to the front desk, but there wasn't anyone at the front desk who could help rectify the situation. I wound up purchasing Lysol to clean high touch surfaces. To top things off, the walls are quite thin. You can hear the traffic and trains going by next to the motel along with snoring patrons in other rooms.

The rooms are filthy, I was supposed to be in a non-smoking room and it smelled like a smoker had just recently been in it. I had to go buy Febreze to make the room tolerable. Not to mention that the sink didn’t work. I would say, what do you expect for the money but the Motel 6 nearby is much cleaner and not any more expensive. The condition of the property is just the owners milking every penny they can get out of it without putting anything back in.
