ROUTE 66 MOTEL

Alt aber fein

Nothing special but it was clean and cheap

Sadly, this was the worst motel I have ever stayed at. I will let the pictures tell most of the story. First I was given a key to an occupied room. Mistakes happen I thought. I was given another room…a “better” room I was told. After getting dinner, bringing our bags in, and sitting down my daughter looked in the bathroom and told me she wasn’t going to shower that it was dirty. Well, I went and looked…. there was a bar of bar and a travel size bottle of body wash, shampoo…something from a previous person in the shower. A puddle of dirty water on the shower floor. Water spots covering the shower glass door. It hadn’t been cleaned! I decided to investigate further and the sink had not been washed either. Dirty hand prints all over the faucet. The paper wrapped soap on the sink was sitting in water. It hadn’t been cleaned! There was a cigarette hole in the blanket…the room is non smoking. The bed looked as if it was just made using slept in sheets! There was a graham cracker stuck between the couch and table(?). The door had dirty foot prints all over it. I went to the office to share my findings. The woman asked me when I checked in. It had been maybe an hr or he and a half before. She asked me if I was “sure” I hadn’t showered….if maybe it was my things. The faucet, she said, she couldn’t tell what it was in the picture. Then she stated I needed to speak to the manager in the morning. So I went back to the room brought blankets and my pillows from my vehicle to sleep on and “slept”. Of course I sprayed the faucet and toilet down with spray hand sanitizer! The next morning I went to the office to speak to the manager and the same woman from the previous night was there. She said the manager had to go to a conference in LA. I asked her if she knew that 8 hrs before this. She said it was a surprise, that she was called in. She went into the back APARTMENT to “call” the manager. Came back out after 4 or 5 minutes and said she couldn’t get ahold of her. I would have to call the managers number on the Expedia app. I asked for a receipt and she said you didn’t get one last night when you checked in? I hadn’t, and she said oh well your receipt is in your Expedia app. And we left. DO NOT STAY AT THIS MOTEL! After driving for over 10 hours through 3 states, this is what we had to endure! It was miserable and it was not made right! I also had to park almost sideways as my pickup didn’t fit without sticking out in the drive. We were up all night from people arguing(?) and sirens going up an down the street. It is not a good location either.

The room with double beds and full kitchen was definitely redone recently. Furniture and appliances were in like new condition. Floor had some damage, and the room had a funky odor. Parking lot worked for us, but would not recommend for a large SUV or Truck.

Nice location
Paper thin walls so you hear other rooms talking and you hear the road quite well
Also some kind of smell when I arrived at the room that wouldn’t go away

But also a super cute motel!
