The bathroom was dirty and it had stains. I had to clean them myself to stay with our family, but our stay was already paid for so we just kept the key and checked out The last day. When we checked in, we were there for a while to bring our stuff in and I believe we got sick because now we are all home and we all have stomach viruses and fevers and the rest of the family that we went to visit all and no one is sick so I think we picked up a virus from the motel room . ##### Suhail Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Abdel 22 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness I was not able to check in.

Cheap but not worth it.Unsafe area hotel under complete renovation. Was deceived by an excellent review on the app. Won’t stay again ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lindsay 9 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service When I arrived at 3:30 pm to check in they didn’t have a room ready and asked me to come back an hour and a half later but I couldn’t as I had a funeral at 4pm. They cleaned a room for me in 15 minutes. It was a single bed and I booked a double bed room. There was no hand soap, no towels to even dry your hands. I was appreciative they rushed to get a room for me but booked the extra bed for my dogs as I have a large German shepherd (130lbs) and needed the extra space and got no refund for the smaller room. The door didn’t stay closed unless it was deadbolted. The bathroom door didn’t shut either. The workers were very nice though ##### Lindsay Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lizbeth 1 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The reviews were decent, the price was low and the proximity to where I needed to be was good, so I chose this hotel. Dingy, plastic wrapped mattresses and mouldy tubs. I couldn’t fall asleep and left. ##### Lizbeth Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen 31 Jul 2025 ##### Kathleen Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen 25 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Kathleen Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cory 15 Jun 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Great customer service, but the recent renovations were subpar and the room had a faint smell of urine. ##### Cory Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly 14 Jun 2025 ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly 11 Jun 2025 ##### Kelly Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Carlos 8 Jun 2025 ##### Carlos Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen 27 May 2025 ##### Kathleen Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen 26 May 2025 ##### Kathleen Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kathleen 3 May 2025 ##### Kathleen Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Carlisle Southwest – I-81 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Harrisburg-Hershey-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Carlisle-Southwest-I-81.h56963636.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brick Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Hope-Hotels-The-Brick-Hotel.h10045025.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [Doubletree By Hilton Reading](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Reading.h11919132.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [HYATT house Philadelphia/Plymouth Meeting](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Norriton-Hotels-HYATT-House-PhiladelphiaPlymouth-Meeting.h427281.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Lancaster](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Lancaster.h19051.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach -
