Someone came into our room through the sliding patio door and took some items of clothing and left the door open. Which we noticed right away in the morning. Scary but stuff happens. When I told the manager, he said that kind of thing doesn't happen there. Except it did. When I asked if he wanted a pic of the items stolen (we had been out with friends and pictures were taken), he said no. They were the clothes I wore into the hotel so I know they were in the room. Said he'd check the cameras and get back to me. Read me back my contact number to confirm. Haven't heard a peep. Guessing he never checked as he didn't even care to know what he was looking for. I don't blame the thief for needing clothes or even a kid for an inappropiate prank but the manager was altogether dismissive. Place was OK enough for the price but customer service was impolite and lousy on following up when they said they would.

Not good.
Pool was closed and had to call the front desk to figure out how to turn the lights on, the bulbs had to be screwed in to turn on and unscrewed to turn off. "breakfast" was boxes of cereal and some muffins.

Bed was clean and the hotel was easy to get to. Outside the room there was garbage in the hallway and beer cans in the window sill and our window was cracked and was held together by tape. Had to put towels on the floor because of the dirty bathroom floor. No waffle maker or eggs just microwave sandwiches. And the workers have a smoke party outside in the morning.

We have stayed in this motel the last three times we've been in this area. There were usually some small problems but nothing that made enough difference for us to not go back. This time when we checked in I had requested a ground floor room because I have had knee surgery and am going to have it on my other knee. We got a room on the second floor they said it was their last room. I had to walk up two sets of stairs then walk to the room. The railing that I had to pull my weight up the stairs with was pulled out of the wall at the top. I almost fell. Then the dead bolt in our door would not lock, PLUS the little top latch lock was removed on the door side. We tried to call the front desk to report these things but the phone didn't work so my husband had to walk all the way back to the lobby to report the problems. When he went outside someone was lying on the ground out by the cars and he looked like he'd been beat up. The staff was very helpful. An older employee came up to our room. We discovered we could get the deadbolt to lock IF my husband lifted the door up and turned the deadbolt. We were ok with that then she was checking the phone and found the telephone wire was just laying on the floor. There wasn't even a jack to plug the phone in PLUS the lady got shocked while she was checking the wire because there was a bare wire coming out of the hole in the wall where the phone was supposed to be plugged in. Needless to say, we won't be staying again.
