The motel was okay. But when I first went into my room, a very heavy sweet smell was overwhelming. I went to the front desk and asked the man why. He went back to the room with me, then went to the AC / heater unit and removed an "air freshener" circle.
I had bought a frozen pot pie to microwave and eat that evening in the room. But the odor was still awful. I didn't eat it because I feared I'd vomit if I ate anything
The next morning before checking out, I went to the front of the motel to get a luggage carrier. When I reentered the room, the odor was still very evident.
For all the years I've stayed at hotels and motels, I had never experienced that. I'll never go back to that motel, and hope it never occurs anywhere else I stay.
