Never again!!

When I initially called this motel, I was interested in the daily rates. Since I am a student and I needed to stay in Sullivan for several days, I inquired about what kind of discounts were available. The manager stated that the rate was $36.00 (with tax), but if I stayed at his motel for several days, he would give me a better deal. However, this was not true when I arrived. The manager told me that the rate I would be receiving was "already discounted." First red flag...
My room was small, quiet, and rather dark. Though it appeared clean on the surface, the sheets had several stains and the carpet was filthy (my once white socks proved this to me). After staying in the room one night, I came back after a full day of work to find that the room was NOT serviced (no bed-making, new towels, vaccuming... nothing) while I was gone. Second red flag...
Later that evening, I was sitting outside of my room talking on my phone when I was approached by a large man who insisted that I "get to know him" and give him my phone number. After refusing several advances, I retreated to my room and locked the door. As a young woman staying alone, I did not feel safe at this motel. I decided to check out the next day, even though I had two more days left that I already paid for. When I did check out, I asked to be refunded for the days that I would not be staying there. The manager told me that there were no refunds given. It was then that I noticed that he had overcharged me an extra day. When I confronted him about that, he WAS able to refund that portion ONLY.
Overall, if you enjoy staying in a dark, cheap, and dingy hole with shady strangers roaming about, then Family Motel Inn is the place for you. If not, go next door to the Baymont Inn... it's worth the extra money.
