Americas Best Value Inn Central Medford

Staff was very friendly and the lodge itself seemed to have some historic value in the area. Very off the beaten path and a little on the run down side, maybe due to age of facilities.

Our room was not clean. The toilet had fecal matter around rim of toilet seat and inside the bowl. There was hair both in the shower and on the lid of the toilet. There was some sort of food substance or possibly vomit residue on the bathroom door. The microwave was covered in grimey fingerprints and food stuff. The tile floor was sticky as if it hadn't been mopped. The carpet was dingy and just felt dirty. Not only that, we had a slug slugging his way around the room leaving trails, but he didn't bother us much. A spider was inside the hand towel I pulled off of the rack and that definitely bothered me. The sheets had spots on them, as did the pillows. The curtains had white smeary stains on them and I don't even want to know what that was. The deadbolt on the door didn't work at all, and almost every time we tried to get into our room our key wouldn't work! Did I bother to tell the office about how disgusting the room was? No. I'd rather leave a review. How about you check and make sure the rooms are actually CLEAN before renting them out. Your housekeepers clearly don't care about hygiene and safety if they are going to put a strip of paper on the toilet that says "sanitized for your protection," and the irony is taking the strip off, lifting the toilet seat and seeing fecal buildup ON THE TOILET that I wiped off and then put paper down every time I had to use it. That is disgusting! I didn't even want to shower because for god sake if the toilet was still filthy the shower likely hadn't been touched! Also, there was no number to call the office, no privacy please door hanger, nothing in the room really, not even a TV guide. No coffee pot, no cups, no ice bucket. At least the mini fridge worked. I will never ever stay at this motel again. No wonder it was almost empty.

Staff was extremely nice, helpful and kind. I was not afraid my car would get broken into. Motel was very outdated except for a flat screen TV. Carpet, bathtub, and chair were gross. Curtains needed to be replaced. Walls had obviously been repaired multiple times. It's quite possible the mattress had bed bugs. It seemed like a large population of the guests were semi-permanent and many people were hanging around outside although they did not strike me as unsavory. All in all I would certainly not stay here again.

You get what you pay for. The staff tried for what they have to work with. Light bulb was out in our room, fridge was warmer than the room, didn't have a shower curtain, carpet felt a little damp and the only blanket on the bed was the thin cigarette burned bed spread.
