The Bed Bug Motel

Not only when you walk in is there a foul oder but when you realize what its coming from your heart will sink. Evidence of cockroaches behind the appliances and the scariest of all, Bed Bugs. I put up three of my workers in this hotel and started getting messages and photos from them saying they have bed bugs in the rooms! When I confronted the Manager about these issues she just started screaming at me saying that all my employees brought them in and she will do nothing about it. with the level of infestation in these rooms, there is no possible way that my employees brought them in. The manager started cursing at me and telling me she was going to call her lawyer then hung up on me. Whatever you do, DO NOT STAY HERE!!! You will bring home some unwanted pests. Manager will not release her records of pest control but you can clearly shee in photos that she is just pouring some white powder to try and kill these things saying "I did my own research, I don't need to call anyone!" I wasn't going to leave a negative review because its a Motel and these things happen but after the manager called me and screamed at me telling me its our fault and started threatening me legally, I had to do something. I almost forgot! They are also trying to give expired food to customers as well! I added a photo of that too.

The owner should be notified of maintenance man taking advantage of customer for scamming schemes and asking for large sums of money. Prostitutes in the hotel.

The staff is very welcoming. The room was nice. Unfortunately the breakfast is not so good. The microwave oven in the breakfast room was dirty and the door would not open easily. The floor in the breakfast room was sticky and yuck. The breakfast food was cheap and scanty. If you are going to offer breakfast, why not get some decent bread? It would make a big difference to guests if you offered some appealing foods.
