Dirty towels and sheets is a deal breaker.
I understand this is a budget motel, but you get a bad review if you have obviously dirty towels, sheets and pillow cases in the room when I arrive. One of my shower towels was stained and had some red residue on it. My pillow cases and sheets were stained. None of the towels or sheets smelled fresh and I couldn't detect any bleach. Towels were all rough from over-usage.
The shower water was cold. If I got hot water, it would only last a few seconds. It was extremely hard to take a comfortable shower. The sink water was so soft that I couldn't wash the soap from my hands.
The floor had not been vacuumed. There was dirt and little spurs on the floor, which pricked my feet on, when stepping on them.
