I stayed here for a few months and I have zero complaints! Staff, especially Sam, were very courteous and respectful! It's somewhere I'd definitely go back to! The housekeeping was up to par as well!

I arrived at the motel a little after 10am and asked for an early check in and was charged a $30 early check in fee so the total for a room overnight was $119 I gave the clerk $120 cash and he kept my $1 change. They charged a $5 room key deposit as well to be returned when I brought the key back at check out. I had looked this place up online and the room that was shown online was clean and looked nice with updated drapery, art on the wall, clean and modern bedding with what looked to be a smart tv. The room I was given was nothing like that. The carpet was filthy, the walls were dirty and damaged, the curtains were brand new in 1970 and had missing hook rings and were stained yellow and brown from years of wear and cigarette smoke. The windows were filthy and the air conditioner/heating unit was filthy and missing buttons and was not sufficient in either size or capacity to properly heat and/or cool the room. I found the landline phone that is supposed to be supplied for guest use in each room in the bottom drawer of a dresser smashed to bits and pieces and completely unusable. The tv was a relic came from the generation of flat screens when they were first introduced in the year 2000. It said it was equipped with direct tv but the when I turned it on and tried to get it to work it it kept saying it need to be programmed and then I realized it was missing the Ethernet cord. I went down to the front desk and asked for a replacement phone and to get help with the television and was totally rebuffed and yelled at by the elderly man working the desk and then his grandson or son (not sure which) informed that I needed to make sure the tv was input was on HDMI 2 and it should work, even though I had already tried that and it didn’t. Oh yeah , I forgot to mention the condition of the derelict, dirty, disgusting bathroom which only came with one medium sized bath towel, a small face towel and washcloth made of the cheapest and thinnest bath linen material I had ever seen. The shower curtain was old and dirty and plastic and was missing curtain rings which were barely holding the curtain up. The water pressure was almost non existent and the water came out cloudy. When I asked the front desk for some extra towel they refused and were extremely rude to me again and when I used the ones provided and needed fresh ones they refused and said that they only supply new linens and 8am the following day and when that time came I still had nothing. When I went to check out after putting my personal belongings in my car I got to the front desk at 11:14am and the awnry, rude older gentleman refused to give me back my $5 deposit because I had went over the time frame and informed me that it was normally a $10 fee for every hour after the 11am check out time and because I went over the time limit the was going to keep my deposit and call it “even”. All in all it was one of the worst Motel experiences I have ever had for an expensive price point. I beg anyone considering to patronize this establishment to either sleep I there car or on a nearby park bench both of which I’m sure are cleaner , safer and better than anything the Esquire Motel has to offer.
