Bed Bugs, Roaches, Filthy beds, Dirty Towels, just plain disgusting. The owner denied all of the above, although it is all evident, he refused to issue a refund and instead, moved into another room, which I could not sleep in after experiencing bed bugs in the first assigned room. I mean how are there giant green boogers and crumbs and dead roaches in the refrigerator and who knows what else in a tight and neatly tucked bed. (That was the only thing neat about the room). I mean come on, a picture speaks a thousand words, I will say less and post more! *This building is beyond a Public Safety Concern, it needs to be condemned.

The room was very dirty, the bed had trash and blood stains on the bed sheet. I went to the office to let them know and the gentleman asked the housekeeper to clean our room. We had already had our luggage there and she told us in a very rude way that we couldn’t be in the room. We went back to the office and I gave the gentleman the feedback. He said he had another room. He took us and it was decent. Once we lifted the blankets and the bed sheets were really dirty. The gentleman informed us we couldn’t get our money back so we decided to go to another motel.

I arrived late due to my flight and went straight to bed. My room looked like it had repairs and was poorly painted. It had bare minimums including no lamp on night stand. Had to walk in the dark to get to the bed from the door where the light switch was. The big shocker was when I woke up in the night freezing and had to turn on lights to look for a thermostat or heater. The room had none. I froze the remainder of the night. When I mentioned no heat to the desk person he said u could have come got a space heater. How would I know that. I asked if all rooms were like that and he said yes. I guess no heat comes with a budget hotel. It was easy in and off the freeway for my trip, but that was it.
