Valley Motel

I was glad that this motel has breakfast. Nothing fancy to be sure, but when you have kids it's nice to be able to feed them something in the morning before you get going. The staff was very friendly and helpful - a very nice family. They also gave us a 20 percent discount card for IHOP next door and that was very nice.

Although the room was fairly clean, when i moved the nightstand to plug something in, i discovered a huge pile of toenail clippings. Also, the deadbolt did not work. The management said not to worry because the neighborhood is safe and they have cameras. But a murder on camera is still a murder. The bathroom is tiny. The shower sucks. Everything needs caulking. When we arrived at home a couple of days later, i discovered these strange welt-like bites on everyone. Lots of them. Not mosquito. I don't know what. We weren't outside much at all. I hope to God they are not bed bugs. I am taking measures to prevent them from entering my house if this is the case. But what a pain in the butt.
