Upper Merion Township Homestays

We recently spent 2 nights at this Motel 6 location. Our experience was awful. We paid for 4 adults and received 2 towels the first night and 1 towel the second night. The first floor stunk of burning **** throughout the day and evening along with fresh ground **** during the morning hours. When looking in the shower, there was hair that was never cleaned up from the previous guests along with shampoo/conditioner caked on the shower walls from multiple previous guests. At 4 am the first evening staying, the fire alarm went off in the hall. No faculty went around banging on doors to alert us. No individual room alarms went off alerting us that the fire alarm was going off, it was just a loud alarm coming from the hall. Upon opening the door, we saw a bunch of individuals going toward the front desk so we closed the door and threw on shoes so we could evacuate if needed. After throwing shoes on, we opened the door again to people sprinting down the halls sceaming there is smoke. At that point, we began to panic, grabbed all of our stuff for the funeral that we drove 700 miles to go to that morning and evacuated. My mom, who has a broken foot tried her best to fast walk/hobble out the exit. After about 10-15 minutes, a gentleman probably in his 20s came around telling us everything was okay and it was just a guy who was high trying to get a room for cheap and got unhappy with the price so he sprayed the fire extinguisher setting off the alarm. When my dad asked about a refund for the inconvenience, the worker replied that they have no control over what happens. A knock on the door stating that the police was taking care of what was going on would have been way more helpful than grabbing our funeral clothes and trying to help my crippled mother out the door fast because it looked like smoke in the hobby. In addition, the morning that we were leaving at 6am, we were walking to the car with all of our belongings and there was a fresh needle lying in the middle of the parking lot next to a beaten up car. I pray and hope that was picked up before a little kid running by picked it up and risked getting a disease from the bodily fluid. Overall, bad experience.
