Diamond Inn

The office manager was friendly and helpful, but the room was still being renovated and wasn't finished. Several people seemed to be hanging around outside, including right by my window, and a strange man knocked on my door in the middle of the night. I didn't feel safe. I think someone went into my room and vandalized part of it while I was out, though as far as I know none of my belongings were misplaced. I saw about four small cockroaches and got rid of them. I wouldn't recommend this motel.

My husband and I paid for a week, then on day two our room was somehow “mixed” up and cleared out. Our clothes, blankets, and cookware were thrown in the dumpster, where people had clearly gone through them. The maintenance man who emptied the room took our groceries and hygiene items, apparently intending to keep them, but at least returned what he took. The owner stopped responding to my husband after agreeing to reimburse us, and the managers have only made false promises. They didn't even offer a free wash for the few clothes we recovered from the dumpster. I highly recommend this place be shut down. I've already done an interview with Hemet eye news on FB and YouTube, and I'll interview with the news as soon as I can get ahold of them. Look up the video and let's expose this dump and close it down!

At least there are plenty of good places to eat within walking distance. The room itself was dirty, with an apparently newer toilet but a seat that looked as old as the building. Someone had ripped the TV out without disconnecting the cables, and the replacement was a little 26-inch set with no cables. No phone, coffee, or any of the advertised “amenities,” either. A little paint, pictures, drapes, cleaning, money, and a handyman who knew what he was doing might make the price worth it.

I've never stayed in a worse motel, and I'm not going back. Pay the extra $20 and stay somewhere better. The office staff were rude, and the rooms were so nasty. There were blood stains on the pillowcases, and they still put them on the pillows. The walls and floors were filthy, and the bathrooms were gross. I'd sleep in a park before renting a room there again!
