Avoid and stand up for a man and DONT RENT

I was denied a room because i brought my bicycle in to the room with the vending machines because thats my mode of transportation and thenfront desk lady had an issue with me asking her not to yelk at me after i did what she asked and she said i refuse service and this didnt happen the night before when i booked a room so i didnt think protecting my mode of transportation would warrant her to immediately yell at me and refuse me service when i have had no issues before with anyone except her and im sure it wasnt the bike so i felt like the color of my skin was her issue she is rude and imbnow trying to write rhis in the rain because the refund she said she gave me never happened and refused to answer rhe phone to hotels.com so i can at least get a refund and book somewhere else, its blatant racist evil people like this that think they hold power that im pleading with anyone to not support these people. I knew the way she felt and acted towards me and she had no reason to treat me the way she did and i was prepared and have the audio recording because she did this the other day but refused servixe when i did as she asked and aksed her not to yell at me, apparently you cannot have any respect for the people who make her paycheck little for her and why i was smiling was she did thisbthe other day because i quote said "it was simple" regarding booking a room. I have had no issues and i slepr there and left that morning to return to some woman who needs a hug in her life.

We arrived from out of town around 11pm. The woman at the check in counter was nice, polite, and directed us to our room. The room was clean, but very small for the 2 beds in it. One of the beds was pushed all the way to the side wall in order to fit. Basically, the person sleeping by the wall had to climb over the other person in order to get out of bed. Also, the fitted sheet kept popping off the mattress which was annoying. I ended sleeping on the mattress cover. There are not any microwaves or fridges, but I understand that is to keep roaches and other bugs away. We did not see any bugs, which was AWESOME! Other than that, the room was decent. Had plenty of towels. Now the outside area was a bit worn and showed its age, but we only stayed there 1 night, even though we booked 2. Decided last minute to stay in Austin the next night instead.

mediocre motel

there needs to be significant renovations to the outside and some in the room itself. the beds were paper thin and very uncomfortable. we did not get clean towels for our 2nd night. overall, it's a motel 6 so we didn't expect much.

It's your typical cheap hotel alongside the highway, perfect if you want to really save money but other than that it's old, killed two roaches, took pictures, needs to be remodeled, tough crowd hanging around, obviously various deals going down, shady people hanging around and a few vagrants or homeless people, had a tough time sleeping worrying. The intake lady at the counter treated us like we were your normal riff raff, I might be I guess but I'm a retired LEO. The checkout girl was much nicer, smiled, respected us.
