....actually nightly room rentals! PRETTY FRICKEN SCARY!! I pulled up and saw an East Indian man sitting watching an old big screen tv.So I get out and I hear my wife lock the car doors! I enter the lobby and notice that it looks to be the original lobby from the early 70's except for the square big screen tv which is about early 90's.I ask if he has any rooms and he says yes...no fricken kidding! its late,dark and I've been on the road all day so I just plan on crashing for a few hours.$80 for 2 beds with free breakfast.The parking lot is empty except for a couple cars but he gets me a room at the far end of the creepy hall??? My wife likes horror movies but is still pissed at me for making us stay here! A little to real for her liking!The room is dark,retro and smells funky,like a cross between a cheap cigar and a old gangbang movie set on a really hot day.The carpet is sticky and the bathroom is dirty,there are long black hairs on the floor and what appears to be a drop of blood on the floor behind the door,which they obviously didnt mop behind.I quickly get a face cloth wet and mop the floor with my shoed foot before my kids or wife see it.Breakfast was until 9 and we arrive at 8:40 to 2 pieces of bread,2 glasses of tang and a raisin danish.WOW! guess breakfast is over,I ask if they have anymore food and he looks at me as if I just killed his first born? ROACH MOTEL!! Great place to bring a Ouiji board and scare the crap out of any horror movie lover!

I turned off of I-5 and to use the restroom at the Carl's Jr next to the Gorman Lodge. I did not even know that the Gorman Lodge was a hotel. There were no cars anywhere near the place. The trees and grass were unkept and nearly dead. The paint, windows, and walkways were in miserable condition. It looked like a set for a low budget horror movie. Is this place actually open? !! I am glad it was daytime when I went by - it was frightening enough then.

We found this hotel to be of good value. They had the lowest rate in the area. They had a clean and quiet room. We reserved at the Econo Lodge on our way to Disney Land, and on our way back to the Bay area we were too tired to drive all the way back and so we checked in at the Econo Lodge again.
We saved $$$ on our trip staying at this hotel, an extra tank of gas. The place is clean, safe and helpful staff.

Last minute decision to stay at this motel. Should have checked here first. This place was the dirtiest, nastiest place I have ever paid (twice) to stay. Had to clean the toilet to use it. Didn't use anything else in the bathroom because it was disgusting. The area where we checked in wasn't bad looking and deceptive when viewed online because the room was so bad. How hard would it be to have half a dozen rooms with decent furnishings and somewhat clean, in a motel that does so little business. How hard is it to know when something should be cleaned? As for paying twice, it only took three weeks for the corporate office to refund the second charge on my credit card bill. But they did fix that. Of course the night manager didn't speak English or Spanish so well, that was the excuse for it being so down right filthy. I don't know how this place is even open and hasn't been shut down by the local health department.
