2 days before the check-in, the hotel called me to say they are cancelling the reservation because Expedia over booked their hotel. We had to cancel the trip itself because all other hotels were booked / overly expensive by then.

The place looks good when you pull in but it’s a bit sketchy when you look closer,, long term low income tenants live there too, some ok ppl, but some make you remember to lock everything up in the parking lot. They had a pool…it was pretty uncared for and dirty, we actually cleaned it up a bit before going for a swim. Area is within walking distance of lots of things. It’s not a horrible place, but it’s not a great place either. Middle of the road verging on dicey

The property really needs some TLC, and cleaning. The rooms have been smoked in, so masked with an air fresher which doesn't do any good only adds to a very very unpleasant order...

This was the worst hotel experience I've had. There were bugs in the room. The bathroom was filthy and had mold in the shower. The manager was not helpful and walked around with food stains on his shirt. When I asked him questions I couldn't understand a word he said. I would never recommend this hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
the place looks good from the outside, but don't let that fool you, have a look at your room before you take it. super outdated, peeling paint, 1960's air-conditioner that couldn't cool a bathroom nevermind the whole room, dirty hand prints on pretty much all the walls. Arrived 5 pm, opened door to 45 C blast furnace, the room reached 25 by 430 am just in time for us to leave, with no sleep. Would not stay there again even if they paid me.

Schell Motel cancelled my reservation via a text message two hours AFTER check-in time (I hadn't arrived yet), saying they were overbooked and blamed Expedia. I was left having to find alternative accommodation which resulted in me being out of pocket. When I called Schell Motel they offered no further explanation or alternatives or any support in finding a different place to stay.

dislike personal living quarters being part of office; messy and disorganized behind the desk the property is very obviously aged, so it is difficult to maintain cleanliness (which wasn't badly done) we managed to cool our bed space area by closing the kitchen door and having the air conditioner on all night no one available at checkout next day (until 10a) no phone number on the receipt PLUS expedia receipt and hotel receipt are not same
