We did a last minute trip of the falls with no hotel reservations, Everywhere else was booked or cost upward of 250.00 or more, so we thought we would try a motel instead. Not a good idea. Had trouble opening the door and needed help. Got in and the room was nothing like I thought. Peeled paint on walls and bathroom shower needed some serious work. This entire place needs to be bulldozed down. Things here are very old and the pictures are misleading. DO NOT BOOK!!!! Tripadvisor should not even have this on their list!!

Do not book!!!

I booked a King Suite on Booking.com for check in to the Ashland Motel on Friday, August 13th.  I checked into the motel and was given the key to my room.  Upon entering the room, it WAS NOT A KING SUITE.  Their rooms are not suites.  PERIOD.  False advertising. A King Suite is a room with a king bed and seating arrangement (couch) in a separate area.  Usually two rooms, but often separated by a partial wall.  This was a basic king room.  It had a king bed and a couch.  On the Booking.com site, it is listed as follows:
Bedroom: 1 king bed
Living room: 1 sofa bed

This implies a King Suite, as I paid for.  This is not what I received.  This is false advertising.  It was one small, square room.

Aside from the type of room being falsely advertised, the room was dirty and grimy.  It was covered in a layer of dirt that shows nothing but lack of cleanliness.  The windowsill had not been touched by a cleaning cloth in years.  Same goes for the surface around the TV.  This is expected in a $35 per night room on the side of a freeway.  Not a room that was advertised as a suite and cost $170!  The couch was old, worn down and filthy.  I sat on it briefly and it was so uncomfortable, I cannot imagine what the pull out bed would feel like!  The table and chairs had grimes and stains on it.  The chairs were wobbly and would have broke had we sat in them.  There were bugs flying all over and on the ceiling (my photos show one of the bugs).  In the bathroom, there was a washcloth that had been used, hung up to dry and left there for our use.  It was not changed out.

I went up to the front desk and there was one customer in front of me with the SAME COMPLAINT!  Dirty linens, dirty room, etc.  She was first told that she needed to go back through Hotels.com (where she booked it) for her issue and then they offered her another room.  She took the key and left to check it out.  I told the desk clerk my issue and I was NOT OFFERED ANOTHER ROOM.  The person in front of me was offered.  He told me I needed to contact Booking.com since that's how I had booked it.  I handed him my key and we left and stayed elsewhere in a clean room.

I was already on hold with Booking.com when all of this happened.  When I got in my car, a representative from the company answered and she tried calling the motel several times.  He didn't respond.....it wasn't busy.  It was purposely avoiding because he knew what it was about.  Also, in reading the reviews after, this is a COMMON ISSUE with this hotel.  They also come back and argue with guests.

On another call to booking.com, the rep was able to get in touch with the hotel and they tried telling her I stayed there anyway and checked out the next day.  This was a LIE.  The hotel denied me a refund, changing the reason each time.  First they said I stayed there.  Then they said I didn’t meet the cancellation policy timeframe.  Then they said I had an extra person (I was the one who told them I had another person in the room!!!  She is under 18 and most reputable hotels/motels do not charge for children under 18.  But if they said anything, I would have paid any extra fees required.  No, instead they used it as an excuse for their poor business practices.)  Then they just straight out denied a refund.

I believe this hotel is a scammer.  They know their accommodations are not up to par.  They know their description is not accurate (these rooms are NOT SUITES!!!!)  They know their rooms ARE NOT CLEAN!  But they rely on travelers who book through 3rd party sites so they can refuse a refund once the customer is unhappy with their accommodations. This is an ongoing issue with them!

WORST MOTEL EVER! Disgusting rooms and service! Scammers!

The service and amenities were nonexistent. Stayed two nights and received no maid services on 2nd day. We had to call down and ask for towels. They left two large towels and no hand towels or face cloths Didn't empty trash when they left the towels but did leave two extra bags for us to change out. Room was outdated, feeling paint on walls and ceiling. Total lack of attention to details. Towels were paper thin and discolored. Found king gray hairs throughout the room when we checked in. Glad to checkout and be gone!

DON'T DO IT!

Motel said 3 day rate was $332.24 and Expedia charged $505.xx.  Room was never attended, had to beg for towels, no security, arrogant desk clerk (owner).  Motel was mostly vacant even though most motels were sending customers there, and most of the ones we observed looked and left!  Never again!

Just don't. We booked a two night stay through Travelocity, well in advance of our trip (June). Drove the 3 hrs from home. We arrived early, but thought we would check it out before checking in.  Absolutely dilapidated building, caution tape around part of the Driveway/parking lot. The front office also smelled Strongly of curry, but was not a restaurant.
 There was A Restaurant IN the front parking lot, with the Garbage pen facing the Front office. Not very appealing first impression.  When we returned to check in, we were told they Never received the money from Travelocity, hence we had no room as they were totally booked. The man was very rude, not even looking up from his keyboard! We then called Travelocity, spent over an hour on the phone, to confirm the Reservation had been paid. I spent the hour calling every other hotel in town, almost all were completely full & double the Price! Travelocity was actually great. They booked us a two night stay at another motel and paid the difference! I would Not bother with this property. Read the reviews!!!!!

Nope

This was hands down the worst place I've ever stayed. I wasn't expecting much but this place was horrible. I new it would be dated and a litle shabby which I can overlook if everything is at least clean. The bathroomwas the worst with visible mold on the walls (health code violation?) filthy shower curtain and tub. if I thought I could have found another place I would have left. I endured it because I was looking at less than a 12 hr stay. Couldn't wait to get out of there.

Don't stay here!

Unable to cancel stay due to filthy room and evidence of bedbugs then was double billed by hotel. Absolutely awful experience. Do not use this property or you will regret it.

This place is the biggest dump I've ever experienced.  Wouldn't have stayed in the room if it were only $20/night, let alone what they were charging.  It was moldy, dirty, and smelly, in addition to just being kept poorly.  Beware of bedbugs and other critters that are able to enter the room through the crack in the door (when it's closed).  Owner stated he would refund our money (we couldn't stay in the room), but he went on to charge my card anyway.  Horrible, unscrupulous business practices, and unsanitary room conditions.  Run the other way!!!
