White Swan Motel, Lakewood

needed a place to stay that was close to where I needed to be so I made reservations here. First of all there is no such thing as reservations here. At that time i asked the guy how the rooms were because the reviews i had read were terrible but older reviews. Then there was a newer review that leads you to believe they have remodeled and the place has changed. The guy basically said that they have updated some of them and are sold out every night. So I assumed that perhaps they were remodeled and decent. The outside was scary as I drove up but decided to give them the benefit of doubt. The room did smell nice and the carpet was fairly decent but the lady at the front desk said she was putting me in a room with a new bed. The bed was not new and the bathroom was terrible. The floor was sinking in and you could see the crawl space underneath. The location was scary. I was truely afraid to leave my car outside and would never dream of walking anywhere around there. I ended up calling the front desk and telling her i was checking out. She said there was no refunds. So i cut my loses and moved to a cleaner, safer and more relaxing hotel. There was also several people lingering around outside the rooms as if they lived there all the time. Overall this was the worst experience of my life. I would never recommend this motel to my worst enemy. And thats being kind about it.
