Room was filthy. Smelled horrible. Window didn’t shut nor lock. Air conditioning does not blow cold air. Room was unlocked when we got there. Dirt and grime on walls, ceilings and window. Hole in carpet. It was awful. Asked for a different room and we were told no because we used Expedia we would be charged again. Went for breakfast and every crockpot was empty. No pastries nor muffins were left. I had to ask for the food to be replenished. Front desk lady told me to call Expedia. Couldn’t find a phone number. I will only book direct from now on. Do not go to this hotel! It is horrible!

Property was purchased by another hotel in the area. We had to go to that hotel to check in. Our room at the Simmer motel did not have a smoke detector, carpet, flooring & furniture was stained, dirty & dingy. Definitely would not recommend this property.

I ordered a room with a jet hot tub from the web site .Yes I paid extra for the room .I was informed by the office that none of the rooms had jet tubs,they was in the middle of a remodel. I asked questions around the extra charge for a room with the jet tub . No response. I suggested they update the online site andI was dismissed back to the remodeling situation. They never offered to refund any part of my payment and or update the advertisement. A extra blanket in the room would be nice it is Nov . I enjoyed the room overall. They have two different parts of the hotel . I was across the road . Not sure if they had a breakfast or not.

Hotel was not as advertised on the Hotels.com website. We booked a king suite, non-smoking, with a jacuzzi tub. We did not care about the jacuzzi, but did care about the size of the bed and the room being non-smoking. The hotel was reported as "updated." When we arrived, the room had obviously been heavily smoked in. The room was visibly dirty, with stains on the couches and the material ripped. When we asked for another room and explained the condition, we were told that only one room was a king suite as advertised on the website. We were offered another room in the main hotel, but it also had an unpleasant smell. We asked for a refund and we did get the refund.

Dated room, vanity light didn’t work, lock code didn’t work, spider webs all over the exterior, blinds were broke, not curtains, so parking lot lights shined bright into the room all night!! Musty smell, would not stay here again, especially for the price.

The room was dirty trash in trash can, poop on the toilet and bathroom floor was dirty. Carpet was so dirty I couldn't even walk around without shoes. TV went out for over 2 hrs and was told it was just a cable issue. I will never stay there again.

Never again

We had booked two rooms, one for us and one for our friends. Our friends' room reeked of smoke so badly that they kept their luggage in our room and only went there to sleep. It was not a clean room and the smell was horrible. I understand they were renovating but we clearly booked two "nonsmoking" rooms and that is not what we were given. I also got some runaround about us not receiving our check-in code because of booking through Expedia. Every other single email came through from the hotel, so I'm not sure why the room codes were any different. They're juggling two properties and need to do better or just focus on one.

We didn't have unrealistic expectations. However we did expect a clean room. There was pubic hair, dust bunnies and filth along the baseboard behind the bathroom door. Also, both the couch and footstool had disgusting brown stains. That made us distrust the overall cleanliness of the remainder of the room. We stayed at a "MyPlace" the night before which was the same price but immaculate. It may have just been a "bad look" and not your norm, but it sure made a very poor impression.
