we got there pretty early, got there at about 6 am when check-in was at 3pm. so we explain the situation to the front desk dude and he was quite rude about the fact that we were so early. in his words we were “beyond early” and he was just overall bitter and unwelcoming! i was prepared to pay money to get into our room early so we could rest up for the day, but please tell me how we went from an 400 dollar check in to a 700 dollar check in. makes no sense, i understand the deposit down and the early fees but that would still land us only at around 550. dirty motel, stains on the walls and ceilings, bathroom light didn’t work at all, shower was creaking and felt unstable and the water pressure was bad! definitely an awful room for the amount of money we had to pay.

The overall experience was not very good. The room was in a dirty condition, the floor was not clean and the bed sheets were not clean and had brown stains over it. Everything felt pretty bad.
