The check-in date was incorrect, due to auto reset in Expedia website (or user error). The motel honored the rate when we arrived at the end of a 10-day trip.
Very poor breakfast, no fruit, no bread, juice machine out of order.
Only warm water in room, never hot.
Ventilation fan extremely load. Tub faucet falling off. Lobby closed at 7pm.
Who rated this an 8? Should be a 2 at best.

Breakfast was oatmeal or cold cereal. Grounds unsafe to walk due to crumbled concrete
I applied for a refund couple times already because the motel was closed and I was unable to stay there. However, I have not yet received any response. This situation is unacceptable. Please process the refund immediately.I expect your prompt attention and resolution of this matter without further delay.
Very nice staff. Old hotel, looks like they have been trying to remodel. Really noisy, next to a main street. We probably will not stay there again. But….. fair price.

Bathroom did not appear to have been properly cleaned prior to our checking in.
Sad little breakfast: coffee, fruit, cereal, and plastic wrapped sweet rolls or muffins. Juice machine was broken. No vent in the bathroom. Check in was quick and easy, but that's the only postive thing.
