1.Siesta Motel in Marathon
Submitted by:bocabimmer

FL - DON'T STAY HERE - SERIOUSLY!!!November 2008
Siesta Motel – Marathon FL
(Billed as the cleanest rooms in the keys – HA!)
1. I was quoted $70/night for 2 nights over the phone (as were others in our party…thankfully they made the right choice in staying elsewhere). But when I got there - because I used my American Express card - the charge was increased from $140 for two nights to $165 – an 18% increase! The proprietor did offer to honor the $70/night rate – only if I agreed to pay in cash!
2. Our shower head was rusted and thereby all water that sprayed down on us during a shower was rusty water!
3. The “hot†water was barely warm.
4. The pillows were ultra THIN and the mattresses were old & squeaked with every movement. They sagged badly in the middle & provided zero support and less comfort. The manager said they were “soft†because they were new pillow-top mattresses. C’mon! I was born at night – but not LAST night!
5. In the room was a 1950s style in-the-wall AC unit that was rusted and rattled so loudly that it was impossible to have it on at night and sleep @ the same time!
6. There were gobs of hair (not ours!) sticking out of the shower floor drain!
7. The plastic-wrapped glass in the bathroom revealed lipstick stains on the rim when it was unwrapped!
8. The walls were so paper-thin that you could hear your “neighbor†barfing his guts out!
9. The interior walls were cracked & barely spackled. The “repaired†damage was not even painted.
10. The bathroom door hinges squeaked loudly & disturbed anyone attempting to sleep in that God-forsaken room when the door was opened/closed in the middle of the night.
