Should be comdemned by the Board of Health

We arrived on Friday afternoon. The staff was friendly and though slow, not a big deal. After 7 hours in the car we couldn't wait to get cleaned up. I opened the door to our room and the smell was sickening. The shower curtain was full of mold and the towels were grey from over use. The carpet was sticky and our shoes had to be left on at all times. The comforter had drops of blood on it so I folded them and put them in the cupboard, the blanket was no better as it was so old, smelly, full of hair and worn out. The mattresses were so worn that there were stains as big as grapefruits on them. Seeing as pets are welcome at this Motel I'm sure I don't need to tell you what kind of stains they were. The bed frame was broken and sharp (I only know this because my son ran in to it and cut his leg) The lounge has live music until 1:30 a.m. and beware if you are lounge side as we were...The people scream, women cry and there is a lot of cussing and arguing going on out there. The pool is cloudy from all the chlorine and the breakfast that is served consists of danish, bagels and muffins. These are kept in dirty storage containers that are not intended for food. Mariposa is a quaint little town and the Charles Steak House as well as Soutry have wonderful food. This was the only Motel with a vacancy for the weekend of the 4th. I booked it a month in advance. The worst vacation I ever had. I felt defiled sleeping in such filth.
