1. Check-in time is unreasonable, 4:00 PM is absurd 2. Clearly not the place for you if you like to have a great sleep, there are no blackout curtains. 3. I asked for cutlery to eat food and they asked me to get it from some nearby restaurant 4. No air conditioner at the place, it was heating during my visit

It seems the motel was recently acquired from remote owners. The room we stayed in was not good at all. Most modern motels have AC so you expect it. This motel only has small AC units in the upstairs units. Our room was hot, sink did not drain, the cheap fans they give you are loud. They leave the lights on all night and the shades are trash so you have light in your room all night. I would avoid. Ballys has great rooms.

Automated booking and check in was easy enough, but there was no obvious indication that the room booked was a handicapped friendly room, meaning no tub. Other than that, everything was great! Clean, tidy, nice location. Would do again.

A “motel-6”-class hotel for $360/night. Very old property, small room, old unmatched furniture/decor. No front desk to speak of - you have to upload a photo of your ID to their website by taking a photo ahead of time and wait for them to send you a code to your room. Didn’t do it ahead of time? Do this from your car when you arrive and wait for email with further instructions. all the furniture and decor don’t match and look like they are out of a thrift store - we had a broken piano stool in our room with broken yellow(!) upholstery. Plugs are falling out from the outlets, toilet has very poor flow and half the time doesn’t flush, but staff provided a large plunger that is sitting right there so you can help yourself and unclog it every time you use it. For this price level we expected a lot more.
