The pictures make this place look sleek and well-maintained.
My room needed an upgrade. Half 1980's oak furniture and half upgraded black and steel. Wall edges were well worn. The bathroom cabinet fixture is worn, chipped and an eyesore. The floor needed a good scrub. The mattress had a huge stain on it. There's one bedside end table that's missing. The door has a gap in it, although there were no bugs. The concrete and stairs need a power wash and look stained and unkempt. The parking lot has discarded Q-tips, cigarettes and other litter.
My key card needed replacement every single day. Every single day I had to visit the office. Come on. There are a variety of people staying in this motel that appear to be permanent residents-- they don't have a clean and neat appearance, and some of them appear to be on drugs, falling asleep outside and falling over at the waist.
But hey, the air conditioning was great.
