Far From First Choice
Our stay at the First Choice Inn was the worst overnight motel stay ever! It was anything but first choice. The room was disgustingly filthy. There was a half-eaten pizza roll on the badly-stained carpet in one room and our other room had old French fries by the night stand and someone’s disgusting toenail clippings. The curtain had lots of holes—looked moth-ridden. The bathroom was disgusting and dirty—urine on the floor not cleaned up from the last guest. We asked for new towels as one towel had obvious dirt on it. The new towels were almost as bad. There was no drain plug in the bathtub, and the sink had no lever to fill the sink. The faucet and shower heads were so corroded; totally disgusting. The hinges on the bathroom door were totally rusted like they came from a junk yard. The blanket had holes. The carpet was filthy and there was a terrible odor to the room. We saw dead bugs behind the bed. There was no deadbolt to lock the door. It had all been ripped out and holes remained. We didn’t dare eat their breakfast in the morning. Any future traveler, beware!! There were no other motels with vacancies available when we booked due to a college football game in a nearby city so we booked there sight unseen. Never again! I took photos to back up my assessment of this motel.

Urine stained bathroom floors, heavily calcified shower & tub. Carpets heavily stained. Wife said coffee was good. Breakfast appeared to be mostly day-old breads.

After checking in we found our room was very dirty and one bed was stripped with a pile of bedding on the desk. The bathroom was not cleaned nor were the towels replaced. There were no other rooms available in town, so we found clean sheets and towels and stayed. However, breakfast was not available the next morning either. Our worst stay ever!

Unfortunately, this hotel is well past its prime with black mold around the window, shower walls that have not seen a cleaning in quite some time, an encrusted shower head that needed to be washed prior to using and non-working air-conditioner. The room smelled of cleaning products and mildew. While the person at check in was polite, he had little information to offer as he was from another hotel and was serving as a replacement for someone on vacation. There were no redeeming features. Not certain why this hotel is on the Expedia site.

All I can say is this place needs to be condemned. No secondary deadbolt or safety chain on the door. Two wires hanging down from the ceiling where the smoke detector should be. Black gunk in the bathtub tile and shower head I assume is mold. Outside door has no card reader it’s just open all the time. I found another place to stay it wasn’t safe.

The pet room has carpet, and stinks Like dog pee. I wouldn’t go barefoot. Weird location with an awful parking lot. The room was large, and the walls are soundproof.
