Worst place we have ever stayed. Firstly, they were dishonest about their cancellation fee. Since I wasn’t allowed to cancel we drove 3 hours to go. When we arrived, they gave us the wrong key. We ended up walking in on someone in bed. Then when we finally got into our room, it was DISGUSTING. Bugs everywhere, dead and alive. The amount of dead bugs was terrible. The bathtub was dirty with someone else’s hair everywhere and bugs. The bathroom floor was covered in dead bugs. The sink and counters were covered in dead bugs. The sheets on the bed were stained and had multiple burn holes in them. The pillows had multiple yellow and brown stains. The power outlets were all loose and the tv didnt work. There wasn’t a phone in the room to call anyone for help and the gas station closed at 11 so you had absolutely no access to help after then. BOTH of the two chairs provided were covered in white stains. There was also old food stuck to the counter and table. I ended up cleaning for an hour before we could even bring anything in because at that point it was too late to book anywhere else and we were 3 hours from home. I will be submitting pictures of the filth.

TV was not available 😢, it was not hooked up to a satellite. They said they could use my phone for a hot spot. I'm not using my personal items for something that should be already in house. We had to leave earlier because caretaker had to unexpectedly return to duty. No way to contact booking and request a refund for one day.

the only problem we had was that flag west motel didn't get our payment for the room from and we had to take another thirty minutes out of our mini-vacation to secure a refund from you.

I have never been to a motel like that. The reception was so rude and she wasn't helpful at all. The computer was broken when we got there and we left there without checking and the funny part was that it wasn't refundable.

Could NOT check in!!!
We could never get checked into the room. The cashier had no idea how to do it. When we walked in, nobody was in the building, nobody. I found a girl out in the back parking lot sitting in her car. When she came back in, she had no idea what to do. 15 minutes later we gave up and drove further down the road, reserving another room on your site. Check my records, I did not stay in this hotel, that I am currently reviewing.

With this motel your experience will be equal to how it looks... Dumpy. When arriving we were directed to go to the truck stop across the pothole filled parking lot. The employees didn't know how to work their own system. They couldn't find our name or reservation number and almost has us pay twice until we showed them that the payment was already withdrawn. They advertise for wifi and direct TV but neither of these worked. We talked with another guest staying there and he said when he went to get a room they encouraged him to go somewhere else that was 40 min away. The room was basic and I will say it was clean. The AC was very loud and when it would turn off it sounded like a door opening, very unnerving. There was a fridge and microwave which was nice. If you are desperate for a place to stay and not looking for any other experience than to sleep... it serves that purpose, but I would bring your own blanket and pillows

It was not 15mi to Lava Hotsprings. More like 45mi to Lava. Super scary with barely a functioning lock. Couldn't stay there, ended up having to pay for another hotel and uable to get a refund.

We were not able to check in per the manager on duty as they had not been able to get the rooms cleaned due to employee shortages and problems with the help they had. They said we would not be charged. We expect Expedia to reimburse us asap please. It was an inconvenience to have to drive further and try to find a last minute room on a weekend night!

Had to check in at gas station. Attendant admitted the room had most likely not been cleaned due to very low staff. No tv in room either. We cancelled the reservation but were still charged by Expedia.com

Shameful
We knew this wouldn't be a classy place to stay as we had booked there several years ago. We weren't prepared for how badly it had deteriorated. To be fair, the bed sheets were clean and the shower worked. Everything else was in terrible condition. Old, dirty stained furniture, the sink must be clogged and drained slowly. There is no TV service. There are no refunds. I sought out the manager who couldn't be bothered to put down her cigarette to talk to me. I explained we would have never booked the room if we had known the TV situation and the condition of the room. The room looks nothing like the picture advertised. She explained that the owners refuse to put any money into the place and that the TV service would not be turned back on. She thanked me for alerting her to the conditions. The person standing next to her suggested that they could discount the room. She shrugged and took a drag on her cigarette. I just walked away. At checkout, I asked for a receipt. I was told it would be emailed to me. As of today, there has been no correspondence, and no receipt. Our room was on the second floor. Going up and down the stairs is dangerous. The stairs are in poor condition and the torn carpet is a tripping hazard. Hang on tight to the iron railing covered in bird feces if you are ever as unfortunate as we were to stay there. I can't believe Hotels.com would ever list these rooms as serious options.

This was horrible! No Wifi or TV as advertised...refrigerator was filled with old food from who knows when. Clerk couldnt even check us in, no acess to a manager or anyone to help. We were supposed to stay 2 nights and canceled booking! Scary location and other guests were as unhappy as we were! Remove them from your app !

Not good
Very smelly room, did insects in the room. A lot of noise from the truck stop, plus the necessity of checking into the room at 8:00 stop with a lot of customers doing their transactions. Terrible pillows mangy old towels. Seriously do not recommend this place.
