Good Property. Outdoor entry so I was cautious. However, inside was clean. But... A/C units could be a bit better.

Difficult to understand desk worker but we managed. Before we could unload our bags (like 5 minutes)the worker was calling the room asking us to move the car. “Patience is a virtue” The outside of motel was bland. The room looked nice and recently updated….. until you got to the bathroom. The curtain was ripped at the top and looked like it had been on the ground during an oil change. The bathroom door was dusty and we had to put some of the terrible lotion from the room on the hinges to stop the creaking. The 2 towels were nice. The mini fridge made so much noise I had to turn it off. The bed was so hard my husband slept in the car and I got on the couch. It was so late and we were too tired to go anywhere else.

Our crew rented 3 rooms for 3 nights. None of the remote controls were programmed to the TV’s. One room smelled so bad, we had to move. Breakfast was advertised but they didn’t serve breakfast. We won’t be staying at Scottish Inns again. Very disappointed.

When I went to check in, two guys in the office wouldn’t even look at me, much less greet me or assist me. Had to stand and watch them for about 5-10 minutes before they asked for my ID and credit card. Finally paid, but there was not even an attempt at politeness or guest service at all. Room was so-so, spacious, and relatively clean, but looked kinda rundown - shower bar looked broken and ready to fall off, pieces of plaster falling off the wall. Not the best, but I guess it was ok for the $82-$91 piece I paid.

Looks good on the site, but… the pics are deceptive. The place is not well kept, the staff had no idea the ice machine was not working, the fridge was so iced over, was not used or possibly even cleaned in recent past. Worst of all, THE HOT WATER DIDN’T EXIST!!! Save the inconvenience and stay elsewhere.

This was the worst ever. When we got in the room I noticed that the security lock on the door frame was some what loose. Well I opened the door to see if it would still work. Nope!!! The door frame was broken in 3 or 4 pieces. I told the front desk about it but was told there was nothing that he could do about. I did not feel safe in there with my daughter. I told him that but he said he couldn’t move us rooms since they were booked for the weekend. Room was disgusting like it had never been cleaned.

Absolute worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Rating does not even remotely reflect condition of property. I stay in hotels between 100-200 nights a year all over the country and this is the worst. Sheets and pillow cases are not clean or changed. Rude staff. Mold in shower and on shower curtain. Advertise free breakfast and don’t have a free breakfast
