When I booked this property, I was optimistic. I've never booked a motel before, but bookings were limited in the area we wanted, so Up Midtown was one of my only choices. The photos online with Expedia led me to believe that we'd have a decent experience as far as room design & cleanliness. Boy was I wrong. Parking was almost non existent, and a massive tractor trailer was blocking the parking lot by being parked on the street/curb. When we walked in to the room, we knew instantly we were not going to be staying. It smelled of 100 cigarettes. Smoke coated the walls and you could see the discoloration from the original paint color. The appliances in the room were covered in dirt and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in ages. The floors were covered with dirt. Burn holes in the linen on the beds. Black smudging near the electrical switches (god knows what that was about). No one in our party was remotely close to being ok with feeling comfortable or staying the night, let alone two. $400 for two nights.... I wouldn't have payed more than $100 total. The photos online show a clean, well kept, well decorated room interior. What we got was far from it. I appreciate the front desk staffer helping us in cancelling the stay and providing insight in to the process. Aside from that, there was nothing at this property that would convince me to book again, nor recommend to anyone.
