I booked this place looking at reviews and had high hopes. Unfortunately it was the exact opposite. The place was dirty, blankets with burn marks in them. Empty kicthen with no amenities despite being an extended stay facility, which I paid to upgrade to. Denied access to the advertised shuttle service. Very disappointed and would not book again. WiFi was also extremely weak.

Non smoke rooms smell like smoke, customer service sucks they think you’re threatening them because you speak firmly. Music is played all night, during the day there’s barley anyone and at night time people use this motel for drugs and sex

We called for the shuttle service at the airport. They did not tell us where to wait for the shuttle. We waited at the hotel shuttle area and this was not the location. It took us approximately 2 hours to leave the airport. We ended up calling Uber. The following morning we were awoken at 4:44 am by the front desk banging on our door shouting out that it was time to check out. The front desk then used the key and opened our door. Check out wasn't until noon hour. She made an error and went to the wrong room. We couldn't get back to sleep afterwards as we were shaken by the experience. My husband went to the front desk and asked for a refund, or discount or some sort of compensation. The front desk had absolutely no compassion. We would not recommend this motel/hotel.

I reserved a non-smoking room for my son and I. When we checked in, I was giving a remote control for the TV with no back on it. Then when we got to our room and I opened the door, it was filled with the stinking stench of cigarettes or cigar smoking. There was no running water in the bathroom sink. The sheet on the bed had a huge tear to the bottom. I wouldn't stay here again nor would I recommend anyone to stay here.

We arrived around 2am and went right to sleep. We woke up in a sweat around 6am because the AC wasn't working. I went to take a shower and the overhead shower didn't work. There was mold all over the shower curtain and an infestation of bugs in the bathroom. The hotel floor was soft and sunk in in many areas, possibly due to mold. The towels provided had what looked like shoe marks on them and black dirt streaks. We were not given a refund. I know this hotel isn't fancy. I'm not looking for a place with a free breakfast or hot tub. But, this place was unlivable. This is not a "you get what you pay for" situation. The Swan Motel is in violation of multiple health codes and is breaking the law. Of course the manager, Gabriel, did not care and would not refund us for the night when I called the next day. I had booked through Expedia. I advised Expedia to take this listing off of their website and also called the local Health Dept/ Inspector. We spent all morning the following day looking for a place to shower since we weren't able to at the motel. We showered at the Planet Fitness and ended up finding another hotel for the following night. Overall, disgusted and upset by our experience.

Big updated rooms and bathrooms are a plus. Convenient airport shuttle service is available. At first a staff member couldn't find my reservation, but the morning person was very pleasant and helpful and straightened everything out. I just wish there was a hairdryer available in the bathroom.
