Bathroom had a lot of mold on the caulking and inside the shower. Towels were too small to wrap around your body. Paper bath mat for 3 people taking a shower isn't acceptable. Room itself was small.

It was an old motel, minimal renovations, upon getting to our room, it had not been cleaned since the last occupants, several other customers checking in at the same time had the same issue and it was 6:30 pm We had to wait 45 mins for the maid to clean the room. The a/c barely functioned, the cold water handle was missing from the bathroom sink.........the list continues.

When we got to our room the bathroom window was open with no screen. There was no lock on the bathroom window when we finally got it closed. The window faced side of an abandoned building and it’s parking lot. The tub was old, scratched up and did not look clean. We did not use it. The bed was ok except the head of it was lower than your feet even with a pillow. It was an awkward sleep. The floors where somewhat sticky. We did not remove our shoes. We were tired and just wanted to sleep and move on in the morning. The electronic lock to the room did not work every time. Also, there was no specific or designated area to walk the dogs. Behind the building was a wooded area where others walked their dogs but no one cleaned up after their dogs. Just a note, we were put in a room that on the outside indicated it was Handicap Accessible. That was the small ramp that went into the room. Inside the room there was no accessibility. Especially in the bathroom.
