I usually stay elsewhere when I visit this area however my usual cheap motel was full so I stopped by the Valley Lodge. My LTE wasn't working, it had been a long day, and we needed to get to sleep so instead of hunting down wifi at a family members I just went with it and stayed here with my girlfriend. Mistake.



For the price I was not in any way expecting bell hops and Continental breakfast. I was expecting what I generally get from the Golden Arrow which is a room with a lock, clean, a bathroom, and a mini fridge. Everything else is gravy. I just needed a place to sleep, shower, and keep my stuff while I visited the family. That's all. So I overlooked the fact that we couldn't control the temp in the room or the fact that they demanded an additional $25.00 security deposit...But I couldn't ignore the other "guests".

If I had broke out my laptop and mobile internet to look at the reviews I would have just crashed at families. Every other review here above mine is true. The owner Jamile who had to be coaxed out of his office when I came back to turn in the key and ask for a refund was none too happy and initially refused to give me any money back insisting "not even the Supreme Court would over turn this contract," but I wasn't going to stand and argue. When they called me back minutes after I left to offer me a refund and I came back that evening to speak to his son. When I spoke to his son he acted mystified about why I'd want to leave. I told him:



Me: "You live in the building. I believe you KNOW why."

The Son; "No I don't. Why don't you tell me."

Me: "I can do one better. We can walk 10 feet to my left and I can show you in your own kitchen.'

The Son; "No, why don't you tell me."

Me: "Fine. We woke up to roaches crawling all over us, our room, the kitchen, and even in our shoes. I have pictures."



He shut up about the why then but still wanted to charge me $68.00 for one nights stay which is more than Econo-lodge charges for a night and they give you service, breakfast, and NO roaches. Made it plain that wasn't going to happen. This is still on going 3 days later
