Townhouse Motel, Belleville

Hated every minute of my stay here! On the surface, this place may seem like a deal, but it is NOT! Advertisements state this place is "newly remodeled." I saw zero evidence of that! The non-smoking room smelled like a mix of stale smoke and something soured, and the carpets were so filthy that after walking on them for a few minutes, my pink slippers were black as coal on the bottom. The tub in the bathroom had numerous burn marks, and I watched several roaches crawling on the mirror, around the sink, etc. The combo fridge and microwave was a JOKE -- old-fashioned and filthy! The blankets on the bed did not look clean, all the furniture was partly broken and/or stained and chipped. The remote to the TV barely worked and was taped together with duct tape. The walls had stains on them, too. The curtain on the window stank and was stained and haphazardly hung up. Looking out the window at night, I could see shady characters going in and out of rooms, and obvious drug deals/use were going on. I did NOT feel safe here! I witnessed some character being arrested right outside my room also. The so-called "free high-speed internet" wasn't even strong enough to get a signal in the room. If I wanted to sit out in the parking lot on the computer, I could have had a decent signal, but needless to say, that wasn't happening. The owners themselves seemed very suspicious and snoopy of myself and my colleague for some reason, which I found very odd since we were there on business and all this obvious illegal activity was going on underenath their noses without them giving it a second glance. The check-in system is very archaic (apparently no computers are used here), the "ice machine" is actually an Igloo cooler sitting in the lobby floor with ice dumped in where everyone can stick in their grubby hands. The "free coffee" is dispensed from a coffee maker, also in the lobby, that looks as though it is never washed. All in all, this motel is a filthy dump. The stench of the room literally saturated my clothes. I spent everyday there spraying Lysol and room freshener around. I would NEVR recommend Town House to anyone. The only one positive thing I can say about it is the close proximity to Jack in the Box and the downtown area. Avoid this place at all costs!!

the place was nasty to the one person that said it was nice must live in belleville and likes roaches never again
