Clean room and was far beyond my expectations of motels. Definitely feel like I should’ve paid more seeing how well-kept my room was. Their restaurant was just as amazing and tasty with amazing staff all around.

The floor was a little spongy in room 20 in the back of the room from the tub to the wall with the table but it was warm and comfy and a delightful respite.

Hot water in shower was a dribble. Shower head old and plugged up. Non-smoking rooms but smokers encouraged to smoke just outside their units so neighbouring units can’t open their windows without getting smoked out. Nice hosts, convenient location, full size fridge. We will stay elsewhere though next trip.

The pictures on site did not meet the reality of room 28. Onopening the door there was a musty smell. The carpets were full of stain. Not all windows opened, the air conditioner was very loud. Had coffee fixings but no coffee pot. No toilet paper on the holder. However bed sheets were clean. We could not wait to get out of there. Will not stay again!

Disappointing

We walk and it smells of cleaning products,which we were okay with, check the sheets which were clean so we were very happy to see. We left and when we got back, the bugs came out. Place needs a deep clean, bathroom fan is disgusting, only one towel/cloth per person, carpet needs to be replaced, no hair dryer as advertised. Was a decent price but was not impressed and will not be back

The room was very run down and worn out.My wife started herself . It felt like there were fleas in the room of some kind.We checked everything including looking for bed bugs.The carpet was really old.The walls were dirty. The bathroom had a cement corner low to the floor by the toilet that was a hazard.This motel requires a huge upgrade and renovation.

Bugs and dirty sheets. I went immediately to the office to ask for a refund. I was told that, since I booked through Expedia, I had to contact them. We left and spent the night somewhere else. I contacted Expedia but their staff was not able to get in touch with Badland, and therefore no refund. DO not stay at Badland. It is really Bad.
