Holiday Motel

Greggory Jennings

I stayed at Holiday Motel in Cave Junction, Oregon for five nights over the 4th of July weekend; arrived June 30th and left July 5th. When I arrived it took awhile for one of the managers to come to the motel office after I rang the door bell several times. She was very gracious and pleasant. She said she couldn't remember if towels were put in the room, so she gave me a bunch of blue towels and washcloth. I was given room 10. It is spacious and the bed and furniture nicely arranged. That is about it. Like Eddie Nevin I discovered the couch had a fowl smell to it. It was a hide-a-bed. The couch did not look worn out, but the cushions were. It felt like sitting on a board with your back against a board. The air conditioner in the wall looked to be one of the first ever invented. The two controls looked to be levers to be moved side to side and they did, but the air conditioner did not turn on. The room was hot from the day of high temperatures. Later that evening I tried it again. That time I discovered the on/off switch was a push button. The other button was a lo-medium-high lever. The air conditioner worked then. I turned it off after the room was cooled down. I could not get the large screen T.V. to turn on with the remote. The linen on the bed was just a sheet and a think quilt-like blanket. In the wee hours of the morning, it got cold in the room. I tried to turn on the heater built into the wall, still plugged in. I pushed all the buttons. Nothing. I folded the “blanket” in half to double it up, but that still was not warm enough. It was cold, I did not sleep well. I stopped at the office the next morning to enquire. No answer. Later I saw the managers talking with the resident next door to Room 10. I waited my turn. The woman told me the T.V. is turned on manually and then a person can use the remote. Turns out the batteries were dead. I pointed out the air conditioner “filter” was packed with dust. I told her the heater did not work. She told me that it didn’t, but there was a baseboard heater under the front window. Well, that one did not produce enough heat to keep the room warm either. The “filter” in the air conditioner, a thin piece of foam rubber, was cleaned, but the dust in the fins of the air conditioner was not. Fresh batteries were put in the remote control. The WiFi is none existent even though there is a sign at the motel entrance advertising it is free. There was not “maid service” at all during the five-day stay. No clean towels, clean sheets, or making of the bed. I tried to get more blankets by ringing the doorbell. No answer. I called the motel phone number. No answer. Holiday Motel in Cave Junction, Oregon is the worst motel I have ever stayed in. The service is non-existent after they collect your money, $85.00 per day/night.

The rooms are filled with roaches,the plumbing was messed up,to hard to get a clean towels or sheets,the manager is hardly ever in the office,the owners seem to not want to give money back when paid months in advance,it's really not that good of a hotel that's my thoughts.

This place overall had a nice appearance. Clean for the most part. Comfortable bed. However, be wary of the bath tub. My husband had a nasty and I mean nasty spill due to no traction in the shower. There was no anti slip and he barely moved and fell out the tub, rolled and bumped his head. I thought it was a trip to the ER for sure. And he is athletic and in shape. He is now very sore. Also some minor issues. The towel rack almost came out of the wall, there were signs of mold, the ceilings were bowed with nails sticking out. Defiantly needs some maintenance. Side note. After driving for ten plus hours we finally get to the hotel and no one was available. Called. And they were not available and said they said they would be back in five minutes. The front lobby was locked so we waited outside. About ten minutes later they drove in. Waiting around when you had paid ahead of time (a week.), exhausted, and hungry was not a pleasant end of the day.

A lovely place to stay, but two concerns. One: the toilet is so close to the sink, I had to sit on it sideways to use it. Two: we had a two bedroom with a tv in each and we took the closed bedroom, and we couldn’t change the channel on the tv. We had to either watch what our companions were watching in the other room or not watch tv at all. That was weird. Overall, it was a lovely stay and the people that work there are great.
