La Palma Motel

We stumbled upon this one; it was close to the hospital we were visiting. Staff was nice. They let us pay cash. There was a $ 20 refundable deposit.
After a straight drive from Washington and a car breakdown, we were very glad to have a place to stay the night.
When we entered the room, it was stuffy, but after the air conditioner was on for a bit it was fine. We were greeted by several cockroaches, which we promptly killed. The room was very dirty. So bad that we laid a plastic poncho on the floor of the shower, so that we did not touch it with our bare feet. Also, left the shower curtain open, for fear of touching it.
I can’t really explain how icky it was. The only place we felt comfortable was on the bed. It seemed clean enough, no signs of bed bugs or anything else.
We joked about playing the lava game and if we stayed on the bed we would be safe.
I can’t say that it was a horrible experience; there is a fabulous Mexican market across the street with great roasted chicken.

Staff is nice, but owner is incorrigible. Staff is clearly afraid of him. We left the room in better condition, and were still jipped out of large chunk of deposit. Staff clearly didn’t agree with his judgment, and any business that has to apologize on behalf of its owner needs serious evaluation. Stay at your own risk.

Stayed at this place a few days ago. A little pricey for a one night stay but the room had nice furniture, a cozy bed I didn’t want to get out of and came with toiletries which is convenient for a motel. Only thing I think was weird was the tv having four channels but oh we’ll. Not a sleazy place unlike a lot of motels and I would definetly come and stay next time I’m visiting the Anaheim area.
