Westerly Motel

Is this place a scam? I made an online reservation and then confirmed it by phone two days prior to arriving, and was still "upgraded" to the Days Inn upon arrival because they "overbooked". Reviews here show I'm not the only one.

Also, check in, pool, and breakfast for this motel are all at the Days Inn. This isn't mentioned in the descriptions. (Both are owned by the same people.)

This location is managed by two hotels (Days Inn and this one). I booked a hotel for the Westerly in advance and drove 5 hours to Ocean Shores. When checking in, I was told they overbooked and that I was out of luck. They made no effort to help me find another hotel and I had to pay double what I initially had planned to have a place to sleep. Do not waste your time, book somewhere else.

The hotel was recently purchased by Days Inn, and they are not communicative at all. The bedroom is horribly small. You don't even have a foot of space on the sides of the bed, and it is so tight ypu cannot close the door. The foldout bed for our son is terrible. The mattress is so thin it offers no support between you and the springs. The layout of the room is just a horrible use of space.

The bed is horribly uncomfortable. If you have a perfect back, I suppose it's adequate, but if you have back problems at all, you will be paying for it for days to come.

The bathroom sink was not secured and looked like ot risked falling every time the sink was used.

The shower and curtain is designed so you can't really close it all the way and you nearly flood the bathroom anytime it's used.

As Days Inn purchased the property the guests are able to use their facilities (including breakfast)... it was bar none, the poorest hotel breakfast I have EVER had the misfortune of trying.

They allow pets, and the policy description says a charge MAY apply. You are encouraged to message them for details. They will NOT respond. So you arrive at the hotel where you are required to sign a form of rules (I get rules, we have pets...)... the fee is $25 per pet per night.... no exceptions. But you can't cancel at this point as you will forfeit your entire booking. So be prepared for a laundry list of unpleasant surprises.

The kitchen is so poorly laid out, the refrigerator opens towards the wall, so by the time you have it open, you can barely squeeze between the door and the micro sized table.

It's relatively inexpensive, but even for cheap, it is absolutely NOT worth the expense.
