Pictures are deceiving

Room was dirty, shower didn’t get more than lukewarm, bedding had multiple cigarette burns and stains, ceiling had stains, hair all over the floor and towels were stained and threadbare. Pictures were deceiving. Hotel looked nice but it was not nice and gross.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I recently stayed at this motel and, unfortunately, had a pretty disappointing experience. While the room did include an extra bed in addition to the king-size bed, which was convenient, the rest of the stay had several issues. The sink had barely any water pressure, making it hard to use. The floors were sticky and didn’t feel clean at all. On top of that, the guest staying above me was walking around and talking loudly until almost 2 a.m., which made it difficult to sleep. I also requested extra towels, but the receptionist told me that the laundry room was closed and they didn’t have access to any more towels. This was really frustrating and not what I would expect from a hospitality business. Overall, this stay was not very comfortable or restful. Would only recommend as a last resort.
