When I saw this property and its listing, I thought to myself, “Oh, a renovated motel could be cute!” The pictures looked great and I saw that it was a part of a chain of hotels under the same name, so I took a chance. I was only staying a night so if it wasn’t great, oh well. But I was so disappointed, as I pulled up to the property. The renovations that they had done were all cosmetic and it looks like they definitely photoshopped the pictures on the listing. I thought that the price was a little too high for what I was getting. My bed had strands of black hair (my hair is bleached all over so it definitely wasn’t my hair), there were some markings and holes on the walls where something was drilled in and taken out, and the laminate fake wood floors felt like they haven’t been mopped clean in a while. Also, because it was a motel, the walls are thin and I could hear people talking outside and cars driving on the street. I think what bugged me the most is that it lacked a certain quality for the pice. The vibe is cute but if they’re charging over $125 a night (I paid almost $200 for the king deluxe room) but you’re getting a literal motel with a paint job, wouldn’t that irk you too? I will say, the front desk guy that checked me in was nice and friendly.
