P J's Motel & Restaurant — Hotel in Town of Orleans

OK OK I know it was a last minute decision to book a place for the Labor day weekend and I guess the price and the fact they had vacancies should have raised question marks but what the hell - can't be that bad can it?||||We 'upgraded' to a non smoking suite and upon entry there was a distinct musty smell of stale tobacco! Fortunately it remained in that room and not in the bedroom.||||However the bathroom was terrible! Sagging floor near the shower, huge iron stains from the wall to the shower base!||||We were particularly impressed that the dead fly on the window sill managed to survive 3 days 'cleaning'.||||Fortunately we were so busy having fun that we did little more than sleep there..||||The RiverRat Cafe is not included in the bad review as we ate there and were very impressed by the quality of food and servers.||||The motel however is one to avioid.

Complained again which resulted in her screaming at me at 10:00 PM. She asked me what she could do and I asked her to comp the 2 rooms until next day since nothing could be done that evening and we would all stay our smelly dog room. She offered $20. Says she's had a bad day and night and can't "deal with it or me" and told us to leave. We left at 11pm with very little gas in tank and no gas stations open. Not cool and...
