As I drove into the parking lot a man began walking toward my vehicle, I parked near the office to check in and this man confronted me before I could open my car door. He did not introduce himself, just demanded my identification and told me I could not park at the motel. Eventually, I figured out that he is a security guard hired by the motel to stop locals from parking, being picked up by friends, and not returning until early morning. This was not immediately explained to me and either way, my car has Ontario plates and I had a suitcase in my hand. I did have to provide my name and license number to this security person before I could enter the office, I was not welcomed or greeted, this was a bad start and a sign of things to come.
The room smelled bad, the floors were dirty, the walls were covered in dust and stains, the fridge smelled worse than the room, even the ceiling was dirty. It is a roadside motel so my expectations were realistically low, I stay at many of these, but this wasn’t at all cheap given the conditions, and there’s no reasonable excuse for not cleaning your rooms. The bedding was clean at least but I would be surprised if there aren’t bed bug issues given the dirt and the wooden frame.
To top off my stay, the next door neighbours blared loud, tasteless music through thin walls and smoked outside my door all night. The security guard did not intervene. Zero stars, won’t go back.
