As it turns out, Keystone motel is an actual, real life motel. Six rather immature people left negative/fake reviews for it, saying that the rooms were ice cold and the pool had no water in it. (Most likely just joking around, but really rude nonetheless)

Someone on Tumblr got mad at these six potentially ruining the reputation of this motel's reputation, so he made a post about it. That post got INSANELY popular and ALOT SU fans overreacted and wrote over a thousand positive/fake reviews for the motel.

The key word being positive/FAKE reviews. Most reviews can be summed up as "The negative reviews are just bad jokes. Don't listen to them. I'm sure it's a fine motel" and giving five stars.

If you want to see the reviews and know what i'm talking about, look up this: keystone motel co inc.

At first, I was kinda glad so many fans would try to fix something other fans did. But after reading some other people's thoughts on it, I realized this was JUST AS BAD! You see, the actual motel wasn't actually that great to begin with. It was rated 3.25 before the episode aired. Now it's up to 3.4 and rising. With all these false praises, people will be misled into going somewhere that's mediocre at best. This Reddit post sums it up better than me. https://www.reddit.com/r/stevenuniverse/comments/3dexgr/can_you_guys_stop_fixing_fake_reviews_on_the_real/

I'm not sure how too solve this problem. I think I heard something about "Google contract" and that it can delete a bunch of worthless reviews? Maybe we should report/flag all the reviews? Me personally, I'm not really gonna touch this topic, excluding this discussion, and hope this blows over soon.

If you posted a positive fake review, I just want to let you know that I'm not angry at you guys. You're hearts were in the right place, but you need to realize what you did wasn't any better than what the six immature people did. You had good intentions, but you executed it very, VERY poorly.
