Disliked: Amenities
Dirty pool . Pool with visible mold . Dining area chairs with extreme peeling upholstery fabric on multiple chairs , needs more attention to detailing cleanliness such as mold around face sink and accumulation of dust and dirt in corners of dining area. House keeping appears to do bare minimum. Lost more than two hours of sleep due to a fire alarm from a broken sprinkler....hit by a delivery truck onsite . Hotel did not apologize to patrons or explain what was happening , nor gave safety instructions or inform when it was safe to return to rooms. Unprofessional receptionist - condescending and reluctant in providing the option of a printable receipt if booked via expedia.ca/com Appeared unwelcoming and not of much assistance if booked via third party websites that offers discounts instead of directly through them . Poor customer service!

Mid

Half the lights didn’t work in the room. Sent maintenance to “fix” it. Showed up with a ladder an hour later then told us he couldn’t fix it. We all huddled around the one light to get ready for the wedding. Did not offer another room to get ready disappointed motel 6 leaves the light on for next time I guess.

Everything was just fine. I think you could fix the wallpaper that is not really attached to the wall in a few places and the tub had very many places that are black because the porcelain is wearing off. The tub was very clean but I didn’t take a bath because of the black bits.

The bathtubs need new grouting, minor mold fixes, and one tub had chipped paint/lining and should probably be fully replaced. Everything else was good. In the cafeteria, the fried eggs were not edible -rubbery and looked really weird, like they’d been microwaved? The pancake maker was broken and looked. Like it had never been used. Wish they had a waffle maker. All the other food was fine.
