When we arrive we were concerned by the age of the motel and location. Check-in was seamless and the room exceed our expectations when we opened the door. Before bed we noticed the kids feet were black. We bathed the kids but their feet were black again right after. This was only a one night stay and before we left we stripped the beds (we always do to ensure nothing gets left behind) and found black specks under the mattress pad. Housekeeping came and said it was not from pests but it was dirt. She stated they do not wash the mattress pads between guests and they don't look under them (the pads are not fitted and slide when you strip the bed).
I spoke to the front desk during check-out about the issues. The gentleman stated, again, that the mattress pads are not washed between guests. I asked him how often they are washed and he stated "when we clean the rooms." I asked him to clarify. He then informed me that only basic tasks are performed between guests, the rooms were cleaned once a month and thoroughly cleaned every other month. He went on to state that every six months everything is removed from the rooms to detail clean. I then brought up the filthy floors and his excuse was it happens right after they clean due to their proximity to the freeway.
I am not at all pleased with the condition of the room. We still do not know what was under the mattress cover but we took pictures. We believe it is pest related but the hotel insisted it could not be since all areas of the hotel are treated by an exterminator every six months.
