This motel was a real mixed bag. I was in a room that looked partially updated, but unfinished. The room was clean except for the sink was dirty. The linens were clean, but the bed was so uncomfortable I could feel all the springs and couldn't get to sleep until I put a pillow between me and the bed. There wasn't a nightstand so I had to put my phone on the floor to charge and it was either all lights on or move around in the dark. There was a fridge and microwave, no coffee, not that I care about that. There were two bath towels, no other towels or bath mat and no soap. I feel like the property owners are headed in the right direction but just missing the mark for what you'd expect even at a basic property.
If I were the property owner, I wouldn't worry about a fridge or microwave until I had a nightstand and light in every room because someone could fall trying to get to bed in the dark. I'd also add in at least a bathmat and soap. Most people don't expect to have to bring their own soap to a hotel and I ended up tracking water all over the floor, since I didn’t want to throw the nice towels on the floor. This is also a slip and trip hazard. A mattress topper would make the mattress sleepable.
