“Bedbugs Here- Please Stay Away”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2007

We checked into this motel and when we walked into our room the floor was nasty. We had just recently seen the show on ABC (one of the majors) about bedbug outbreaks so we started looking the room over. We found some questionable areas but nothing that led us to believe we should pack up the kids and leave late at night and try to find another motel.
BOY I WISH WE HAD!!!
They don't seem to be infested with bedbugs at this point but we are 100% confident that we brought them home from this motel.
We sprayed the beds with the outdoor bug spray that we had. We still weren't really informed about bedbugs at this point except knowing that they were starting to show up again.
I think the bugspray helped keep them from eating on us all night but we bring our own pillows and typically lay our clothes and luggage on bed and we believe that is how we took them home.

Just please stay away--this is a total nightmare to try and get completely rid of these bedbugs. I think we are going to have to get professional company to come in to do it. And it's very traumatizing once you realize that you have them. Please buy bedbug spray and always travel with it.
We ended up buying a camper for our trips b/c we are so traumatized by the bedbug incident and do not want to stay in any hotels/motels.

“Keep looking! Do not stay here.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2007

Floors are extremely dirty. There was urine looking stuff on my toilet seat. I refused to shower or sleep there. I kept the room because the military paid for it. My Bath & Body Works room spray was no match for the STENCH that was in the room. The microwave was missing the glass plate and was FILTHY. The microwave was making a noise. I unplugged it. I pushed on the door to make sure it was closed. It seemed like it would be easy to push in.

  • Liked — Nothing
  • Disliked — Not enough room to mention. This hotel is the worst.

“Made me sick”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2004
6
people found this review helpful

When I arrived the room smelt a little bad but I figured since it was cheap I could get used to it and left the door open a while. I was going to give it a 2 star and tell people to stay if they just needed a clean bed and spent no time in the room but the morning changed everything. The sewer backed-up or there was a dead body or something but I have never smelt anything so bad...I don't want to get graphic so I will just say that it made me very sick and I grab my things and ran from the room. Went to get ice and found that it cost money! I couldn't believe it and didn't try because I figured it would not work anyway. Went to get my free contential breakfast and found a little coffee at the bottom of the pot and 1/2 of a donut. I drove with all the windows open in my car for the next hour to try and get rid of the smell. Needless to say, I would never stay here again.
