No

The only place I stayed at that required $100 CASH deposit, even after having paid with a credit card. When we got there we were unable to get into the pool because they closed it at 8pm. The table had two tiny dead roaches on it when we got into our room. The AC was not working at all and the room was more unbearably hot than being outside. Even with the windows open all night. The TV reception didnt work so we cpuldnt even watch tv because the glotching was so bad. Tried to get into the pool before we left and there was white crystal looking stuff at the bottom of the pool (told it was water conditioner) so we didn't feel ok getting in. Found another dead roach under bed area when leaving, no live ones though.

Nic, L.A.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

Only OK. Not really worth the price.

Room was generally clean in an older motel. Had the full range of gadgets: microwave, toaster oven/coffee maker, fridge, cable TV, iron and board, hair dryer. One office type chair, queen bed. The sheets had the feel of fresh but not washed or pressed, towels were OK. Pillows were small, one soft, 2 firm. The floors creaked underfoot and were soft in spots due to broken/rotten floor boards. The toilet had a leaky valve and cycled every 5 minutes or so, loudly. Not much noise from adjacent and upstairs rooms. This was during the Solar Eclipse weekend, and other hotels had also raised their rates even as far away as The Dalles, but I feel like I overpaid for what I got. I'm not sure Expedia got me a bargain on this one.

Nasty hotel in Red Bluff ca

Small dirty room that smelled bad. I didn't want to take my shoes off and touch the carpet. The bed spread thing was nasty and I felt like buying a sleeping bag to sleep in

Not happy

Sucked! There was hidden fees upon checking in! When things of cleaning and needing fixed were brought to the attention of the personal they were not friendly about doing it. In fact, instead of cleaning or fixing they just checked us out. The good thing is we were able to get the hidden fee, however I am still waiting for the rest to be refunded. Expedia needs to really check up on places before recommending and booking rooms for people. One last thing, there was only one vehicle in the parking lot (8:30 pm) and we were told the were full. Not a good place to stay

Disrespectful staff - NEVER EVER, EVER STAY HERE

The women working here was incredibly disrespectful and rude. Absolutely no customer service skills. She talked down to us and treated me like dirt. She kept asking questions and acted like I was lying to her. Also, there is a $25 dollar cash only deposit that she requires. She thought that it was crazy that I asked for a receipt to it. The beds were hard, room was dirty and moldy. The bathroom shower looked like something was growing on it and the towels were stiff and falling apart. It needs some actual cleaning. In the morning when I checked out, she said that she had to inspect the room before she could give me the $25 deposit back. Even though the she saw that the room was fine and nothing was removed, she still gave me major attitude about giving the deposit back. Sorry, but if I wanted to spend $25 more, I would've got a very, very nice hotel. As for the "continental breakfast" that consists of vending machine pastries and the coffee that is normally provided in your hotel room. Never ever stay here! The staff at this hotel should not be allowed to interact with the public. They also said that this hotel only had 4 rooms left for the night. There were only 4 cars in the parking when I checked in late at night. More like, they only booked 4 rooms. I now clearly know why. Will never stay here again. Hopefully someone can help the women working the desk to learn some respect and manners. Worst hotel/motel experience ever.
