“overpriced, decrepit motel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2008

i selected this motel based on price but later found out that i could have received an even better discount if i had used a coupon from roomsaver magazine. the websites describing this motel and the pictures used are all very deceiving. the room i was in was extremely decrepit; it was very dirty, desperately needed to be painted and repaired. there was spackle smeared on the walls with no attempt to paint over it. the furniture was also dirty and decrepit and the room lighting was poor. the room did have a fridge and microwave. the night i stayed there, there was only one other occupied room and i can see why. the owner appeared to be indifferent. this place is in serious need of a cleaning.

  • Liked — fridge and microwave in room
  • Disliked — extremely dirty, depressing room
  • Stayed June 2008, travelled solo

“this is the worst hotel I have ever seen”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2008

roof was covered with plastic because it leaked, paint peeling, smelled bad, bedding dirty, shower had mildew in it, outlet looked as if it had caught on fire, could not stay in room, called around and found other accomidations. Hotel still made us pay for one night. hotel manager yelled at us when we told him it was unacceptable. I would not recommend this place. definate health department violations

“Cockroche Villas”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2004

people found this review helpful

This place was a dump. Worst I ever stayed at in 35 years of traveling. The night we stayed there. There was a gang related shotting in the parking lot and a child molester tried to abduct my daughter. The managemant was uncoropetive and would not call the police. When they were finally summoned the manager "Ben" lied and played down the whole incident. There were drug dealers and prostitutes in the parking lot for the entire stay. Never again, sleeping in the car would have been more comfortable and safer.

This place was run down and was not to our liking. The key did not work and it took us many tries to get in the room. The no smoking room smelled of years of smoke. The outside was run down and we were charged extra after showing up to stay there. All other motels in Red Bluff looked to be in better condition. We will not stay here again. - Griff
