OMG, we pulled in to the cheapest motel in Riverhead for a long weekend. When we booked, the website indicated there were river views...um no.
We pulled in to essecially a dirty chinese restaurant. If you can visualize that. With the marble facade, but everything was filthy.
They gave us the key to our room and we parked in front of it (because it is a motel and the doors to your room are on the outside) and walked in. It was disGUSTING. There was a kitchenette and it reeked. I walked into the bathroom and there was black mold in the shower, I wanted to vomit.
I sent my husband to the front desk, because he is much more diplomatic than I am, to see if he could get our money back. He was gone for about 5 minutes and I couldn't stand there anymore. I walked into the reception area, and tried to remain calm while the owner was telling him, in broken english, that we weren't going to get our money back. Basically telling us, what did we expect for the money we were spending. How about a CLEAN ROOM! That's when I lost it (I'm a hot headed irish/italian and when I get a bone I don't let go).
Needless to say, we were "upgraded" to a "nicer" room which was slightly cleaner and did not have a kitchenette in it, although the floor was soft in one spot.
We figured were weren't going to be in the room for much else to sleep and if we weren't going to get our money back this was better than nothing.
Heed my warning, pay the extra money and stay ANYWHERE else.
