“I understand that this motel aims for budget-friendly, but reports of stained sheets and pervasive odors raise serious concerns. The suggestion that money might be better spent elsewhere feels like a point well-taken. It's disappointing when even basic expectations of cleanliness and comfort aren't met, regardless of price point.”
