National 9 Motel

I always call hotel/motel a week before coming. I called and instead of identifying as the motel, the man answered with a hello. Asked if this was National 9 Motel he said yeah. Not professional. Asked about my reservation confirmation, he said yes, it was confirmed. I said I didn't give you my name so how can you confirm? He asked who did I booked through. I told him Priceline. He said I had to confirm with them. Obviously, if I booked through Priceline, it is confirmed with them. I was confirming with the motel. Hotels/Motel always have this information. Fast forward to the night I was checking in. Surprise!!! No reservation under my name. He told me it was OK because they had rooms available. Took the room ($10 less then Priceline). Very basic room. There was a microwave and refrigerator (didn't use). Bring your own soap. Soap had no lather. Hot water was good. Asked for 2 face towels and received 2 hand towels. There was a pool that we did not use. The pool was small (One end 3ft, other end 8ft). So be careful! Parking free. Don't have high expectations. Good for a night or two.

I showed up with confirmation in hand through ***********, they refused to honor it because they only had a couple rooms left and I was paying 1/2 of the rack rate. I am a 58 year local, property owner who only needed to stay while my house was being fumigated a mile away. What if I had been traveling and arrived to find out they would not honor my reservation and the town was sold out, like it was yesterday and the day before? These people are crooks, liars and thieves!
