Very disappointed with this experience, won’t be coming back again.
Pros:

Pre-check in was nice, I liked just being able to pick up my card without taking extra time since it was late.

Cons:

First part of the night was fine, we got there later in the night so no issues there. Went to take a shower and saw a cockroach in it, had to kill it in order to shower. The next morning I went to check on my reservation for later that day as well as my late checkout for our first room, was informed that I couldn’t do my early check in and would have to wait almost 3 hours to move rooms, after they had pre-approved my early check in and late check out (for the first reservation). Went back upstairs and within 15-20 minutes of getting back a house keeper let herself into our room without any attempt to warn us she was there. We told her we had late check out, gave her the time and she left; she came back 10 minutes before our check out and said ‘she has to clean the room right now’ and made us remove all belongings, before our checkout time after looking in at all our belongings. We scrambled to get stuff out, having to leave stuff on the outside of the room to make it work with the rushed time and so we forgot a couple of my belongings inside. After we had the car packed I went and asked if I could run in to grab what I forgot, or if a worker could grab it for me, to which I was told I wasn’t aloud to have my belongings back by two separate employees/the front desk clerk. I informed them that my belongings were well worth over $1500 and I wasn’t able to leave until I got them back. Eventually the front desk clerk came and let me get my items and we were able to leave. I had to call the front desk as I was having a flare-up related to my disability caused by the stress from this facility/the employees, to cancel my other reservation, and the worker wanted to argue with me when I told her my reasons for not being comfortable coming back to their motel. Charges me for one of the nights still from my second reservation and cause distress that affected my plans for the whole day.
