Realize that this is a cheap, 2 star motel and I've stayed in many on motorcycle trips. My expectation is no frills, functional, plenty of parking, ice machine, noisy AC, thin towels and basically clean. My room, #209, here was anything but clean. The sheets had stains (dried blood that had gone through the washing machine but still there) and tears. The lamps had shades that couldn't stay on. Walls had a ton of chipped paint. AC unit had tons of dirt on it. Towels were grey from a gazillion washes. The TV wasn't plugged in. And the toilet didn't flush. At least the floors were pretty clean and the AC was already turned on when I arrived.
Called the front desk about the toilet and they said they send someone to fix it. When I got back from dinner by keycards didn't work. Went to front desk and she told me of course my keycards wouldn't work cause the maintenance man used his master keycard. Anyways, checked the toilet and it still didn't work. Back to the desk to ask for a new room.
The new room was slightly nicer in that there were less chips on the walls but still very depressing. And the TV didn't work despite all my AV gymnastics and the front desk wasn't answering calls at 7:30pm.
They could bring these rooms up to a 2 star motel standard with simple fixes like paint, grills on fans, some cleaning and a few fixture replacements but they haven't.
