We hadn’t read the other reviews until it was too late. The furnishings were outdated, but I expected that at a budget motel. However the bathroom had mold around the top of the walls. I guess the cleaning people don’t reach that high. Half of the towel bar was missing, the pieces under the sink. There were small holes in the walls where I presume pictures used to hang, based on the dirty outlines on the walls.
Although the signs say “No Smoking, except on designated areas”, people were smoking everywhere, including outside our door. I was hesitant to say anything, because most of them were unsavory characters. I had read in a review that homeless people were staying there; so, it made sense.
The front desk was unstaffed. We had to wait five minutes for someone to come to the desk to check us in. We waited ten minutes for someone to come to check out. While waiting for someone to come to check us out, I saw a note on the counter that someone had left saying that they couldn’t wait any longer to check out and to send them their receipt.
I took pictures which I will send to Choice Hotels so they can see for themselves.
