Finns Motel

I want my honest experience on record. We stayed in Room 15 for two weeks while our motorhome was being repaired on the way to Sedona, Arizona. The price was $600 for two weeks, plus a $10 nightly fee for our cat, which was fine with us. We should have paid more attention to the rating. This was the worst hotel we've ever stayed at, with no exaggeration. We should've gone to the Greenlight across the highway. There was a large gap under and around the door, and the bottom left corner looked rotten, with part of the metal panel hanging off. Highway noise came through very loudly, and cold air leaked in, making the heater run constantly. The air in the room was also bad for anyone with allergies or sinus trouble. By the end of the first week, my nose was so dry I was getting blood on the kleenex. Dust and dirt covered the vents, and the heater ran inconsistently because of the door gaps. The bugs were awful. Right when we entered, a roach just under an inch long crawled across the bathroom ceiling. Over the next two weeks we saw at least 20-30, including tiny ones and others crawling over the TV at midnight. Almost every day, roaches came out from behind the bathroom sink, which wasn't sealed anymore. I had one crawl across my foot while I was on the toilet. We kept the bathroom light on and the door shut at night, hoping they'd stay hidden, but even after showers we'd find bugs. It was sickening. The floor was filthy, too. After our first shower, we put a bath towel down to avoid stepping on the floor. When we picked it up, it was black with dirt. We scrubbed the floor with a washcloth, then bought a Swiffer and cleaned the whole room the next day. We used almost an entire pack of wet cloths. It clearly hadn't been mopped or scrubbed for a long time, and it was disgusting. I felt bad thinking of anyone bringing their kids into that room. In two weeks, nobody asked if we needed clean sheets or towels. The housekeeper knocked twice to ask for a Marlboro, and I can see why people might not want to work there if the owner isn't paying them. About two days into our second week, our cat, stinky, got very sick. He likes to eat bugs, and we think he may have eaten one that had been exposed to pesticide or roach killer. We came back from lunch to find him drooling so heavily that it was dripping into puddles. He was lying on the bed in a wet patch of sweat and drool. We rushed to the nearest emergency vet, who said he'd most likely eaten a bug exposed to some kind of bug killer. The visit cost almost $1300 plus taxes. The owner refused to return our deposit. We only wanted the deposit back, but he lied and said we had asked for a full refund after two weeks. Now he wants to reply in bad English and tell me to write a review that makes sense. Keep it up, and I'll call the board of health and show them our pictures and videos. Shut the place down.
