Penny Saver Inn, Crescent City

Thank you to everyone that has posted a review. To all the people that wrote a bad review, as the Owner of the property I personally want to send my sincere apologies. I was not present on the property during these times. Due to the problems that were posted on these reviews and others, I started looking closely into my management. I found all the problems listed and much more. I took it all under advisement. I FIRED the management teams. (John and Pam) (Donald and Katelyn) I HIRED a new team, James and Genevieve. This team has experience not only in hospitality but customer relations. James has many years of experience with maintenance. He has been working on updating the rooms. Genevieve is a business and marketing student at the university. She has been working on computerizing the complete motel. Both managers have spotless backgrounds. The managers are honest and fair people. Each room has been thoroughly cleaned. Housekeeping is done daily in each room. The grounds are cleaned daily. The continental breakfast is only during July thru September. The pool and hot tub will both be up and running soon; we are repainting, tiling, and replacing heaters. We offer discounts for AAA, AARP, Military, Senior, and Students. We offer packages for Families or groups. We have Holiday package specials. The rates start at $49.00 and up. All our rooms are two queen beds or one king. We have suites with two rooms. There are microwaves, refrigerators, and coffee pots in select rooms. Soon all rooms will have these, along with iron w/iron board, hair dryer, alarm clock, and NEW pillows. We hope to see you again.

The pool hours were from 4:00 p.m. The The spaw was broke. The botom of the walls were covered with black mold. there was no racks for towls and no miror in the bathroom. The bed spread smelt like mold. we rented two rooms and the two keys, one for each room opened both rooms and the room inbetween our two rooms. The keys did not have a do not dupicate printed on them. This is very unsafe and I'm sure aganist the law. We will not be staying there again.

As of 2007 the Penny Saver Inn has new owners and new managers. The pool and hot tub both work now and are kept under California Pool regulation standards. A lot of work has been done on the place and more up-grades are coming in as the new owners and managers settle into the job.

My friend and I checked in because it has a heated pool. We changed into our suits and went out to the pool, it was covered with slime on the bottom and was completely filthy. We then explained to manager why we picked this motel and wanted to swim, but could not. We were there a total of about 15min. from check-in. They refused us a refund. We left anyway and stayed at another motel. Welcome to California.

Picked this place because of heated indoor pool, hot tub and price. Pool was cold and hot tub did not work. Very disappointed. Though the staff was very very nice, the rooms were not. Did not feel clean and had a "smell". Switched to another hotel the next day.
