When we checked in to our "Deluxe" room, it smelled strongly of mothballs, the A/C was inadequate to cool the room, and the ground-floor window had no lock or screen. We put a piece of wood in the window and laughed it off as Geneva-on-the-Lake at high season. The rate was also $5 more per night than had been quoted on the phone.
Our shower came in two temps - scalding hot or icy cold. The tap had been installed wrongly so that the water could not be mixed - it was hot or cold only.
When we spoke to the proprieters, they accused us of breaking the shower (?) and tried to fix it. Then they told us to just take a bath. I tried, but the drain didn't stay shut, so I had to run the water continuously while sitting in about 3 inches, and, of course, alternating icy cold and scalding hot water.
After the second time they tried to fix it, it still wasn't fixed. They told us this was their best room and that we had broken the shower. I asked for a discount, based on four people taking ice cold showers for two days. They refused, so I am taking it up with my credit card company.
When I got home, I had a letter in the mail claiming we had broken the window by putting the piece of wood in it. The window was not broken when the four of us and the two people next door pulled out of the motel. They also again accused us of breaking the shower.
I strongly advise against staying at this motel.
