Chaotic check in but good stay

When we first arrived we were told to pick up the key from a sister property. I got the key, opened the door and found someone else’s belongings. I was confused and as I just walked out the door and locked it, an elderly couple yelled at me asking me why I was lurking around their room. I showed them the envelope for the key and we were both confounded. Contacted the property manager and she was very apologetic about the incident, explaining that I had the master key and my room was double booked. Eventually we got a different room to stay for the night. Stephanie was polite and helpful despite the incident.

Check in was super easy. They don’t do late check-ins but you can get your key at nearby motel. Room was ok. You can see them trying to make it cute with small details but my biggest concern was the door. I couldn’t for the life of me get it to close/lock at first because the bolt wouldn’t go inside the plate. I basically had to slam it close to finally get it to work. Air conditioning worked well for a 95 degree day. Bed sheets were nice and soft but bed itself wasn’t the most comfortable. They had an ice machine right outside just wish they would protect the scoop a bit better. Could have been a bit cleaner but I did get a “cheaper” motel. Their sister hotel Trees motel has a fire pit for the evening which was cool but this lot was more spacious for car and quieter. What I do love about motels is being able to park right in front because i always forget things in the car and rather do small locals then bigger chains when i can. Just not the nicest of the ones I’ve done but also not the worst!

Worst experience ever. Dirty room, bathtub had some stains of I don’t know what, bed headrest had some sort of liquid stains on them. No coffe for the coffe maker, no hand soap, blind didn’t close properly cause it was Brocken. Had to put a blanket in the window to cover the light, only 1 roll of toilet paper for 4 people, we had to buy our own and we found dead roaches in the floor. And you can’t ask for anything cause the checking was in a different hotel so there was no one at the place to ask for stuff. By the way, we found old socks in one of the drawers and the set of Keyes that they gave us weren’t even the same.

I did not stay. The place needs a lot of work. Windows are not secure. There was no one from the motel on the premises either. I was also the only person on the premises at 7:30pm. I got another room close by. I went to the Tree Motel to return the keys. The manager said she would contact Expedia about refunding the fee.

This place was incredibly disgusting. The moment we opened the door, we were hit with a wave of stench that was nearly unbearable. There were gnats in the room, on the table; we had to eat outside.
