Beverly Motel — Hotel in Mobile

I saw the Beverly Motel listed in a few guidebooks as an affordable option south of Mobile ... and I also found an online discount where on a drop-in basis, you could get a room there for just $40. Sounded like a good deal!!||||Then I showed up at the place, and the worn-out sign should have given me a clue. It was a dump ... and really, really creepy. The desk clerk was behind a bullet-proof window, and questionable folks milled about the parking lot. I work in San Francisco's Tenderloin district, where I've been inside every run-down slummy SRO. I got the same vibe from this place.||||The front door to my room barely locked, and the windows had tape on it ... as if someone had tried to break in. The room also reeked of cigarette smoke. I complained to the desk clerk, who offered me another room. It was only marginally better ... because it had a bigger bed.||||I debated on what to do ... I was only going to stay there for a night on a two-week road trip from Miami to Memphis, and my standards were really low and basic. I wanted to spend the least amount of money possible as the trip was costing me a fortune, but I still wanted a decent experience.||||I concluded that, even if I wouldn't be spending any time there besides sleeping, it just wasn't safe for me ... a 30-year-old single male. Maybe if it was located in Downtown Mobile, I could stand it for a night ... but it was just an anonymous motel, miles south of town off a highway full of strip malls. It was gross ... it was depressing ... and I wanted OUT.||||I told the desk clerk the whole place sucked, and I'm glad that he gave me a full refund with no trouble. I left as quickly as I could, and checked out other motels along the road. When I went to other places and mentioned the Beverly Motel, they sighed. "We don't talk about that place," they said. "We have a totally different clientele." I finally found a decent motel room a few blocks away ... it was $60 for the night, but worth the extra $20.||||I cannot overemphasize how AWFUL the Beverly Motel is ... absolutely no one should stay there, under any circumstances. The only good thing I can say is that they didn't hassle me about a refund, so I...

No wonder it was so cheap! the motel staff were very rude my room was dirty upon arrival and they forgot to bring in ice bucket for machine and cups. made us check out thirty minutes before original check out time. there is a lot of black mold in their baths and the room was very poorly cleaned. I witnessed some gross looking older women prostituting a guy a few rooms down tried to buy me but I think he was just on drugs up up by front office I witnessed a drug deal between two residents this place is very upsetting staff were rude cuz of my unprofessional look and age I'm 20 but look like a sixteen year old they sure treated me like an immature sixteen year old check outs at eleven they woke up up at 9:30 telling us to pack up and leave this place is very poorly run I will not be...

Consider a situation where you are being forced to move to a different room due to a remodeling team(which barged in our room without knocking on the door) have to get you out of your current room. And the "manager" lacks the backbone to get the room that is down, up and functioning as well as I think the Alabama guidelines have stated up to code. But again I'm expected to clean this room which needs maintenance to work on first before I would even consider cleaning up first. But I think I have a right as a human being and even in this state of deep south, consider being better than the condition of this room, I wouldn't have my worst enemy or my best dog live...
