We booked our stay at The Amethyst Beach Motel through Booking.com and unfortunately learned upon arrival that the payment made online was only a deposit, not the full cost. Neither the site nor the hotel made this clear ahead of time, which was definitely inconvenient and frustrating. The staff experience was mixed. When we asked questions, the woman at the desk often seemed rushed and a little annoyed. We also had to call multiple times for towels, only to be told later by the cleaning crew that the owner was upset with us for not waiting until housekeeping came by, which felt unprofessional. The complimentary breakfast was very limited mainly small pieces of muffins, plus coffee and tea so don't expect much variety. As for the room itself, while it was clean and came with a small flat-screen TV, the lighting was terrible and the outlets were placed high up on the walls, which made them awkward and inconvenient to use. On the positive side, the location is excellent, just two blocks from the boardwalk. The motel also has a nice pool area with tables where families often gather, which was a plus. Overall, it's a clean and conveniently located place to stay, but the service, amenities, and room setup could definitely be improved. read more

This was the most awful place to stay ever! The rooms were dirty, the ceiling tiles were chipping, there was no shampoo or conditioner and when asked about it was told they can't afford it, no coffee maker in the room, no hairdryer, dirty carpet, poor air conditioner in the room, and a $15 charge for parking on site. Do not stay here! You'll regret it!! read more

Had a great overnight stay for a mini weekend getaway with a friend. Perfect distance from Jenkinson's boardwalk and bars. More private area near a small lake with a cute view. They even had complimentary coffee and muffins in the morning! Only issue we had was with the shower. It was a bit difficult to get the shower head to work at all. A few updates are needed but we had a fabulous stay for the price ! Will definitely be back. read more

Amethyst Beach Motel - Complimentary morning coffee and muffins ! - Hotels Near Me - Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Weekend of September 12th.I read the reviews and I know this place needs a facelift badly.are room 112 was clean and we got to check in early. The AC worked great! There was only 1 outlet that worked in the entire room including the bathroom. The bathroom had a vent in the wall with no screen allowing bugs to come in. The pool was filthy both days we were there so we didn't swim. The hotel is located .4 miles from beach and that was great. Next time we visit point Pleasant we will stay somewhere else. read more

Disgusting and will be making a formal complaint with the health department! Carpet is wet and rooms have a strong mildew smell ! Not just our room but we have asked other people staying here and they have the same smell! The pool level is under the first step and about 2 feet from where it should be so obviously it's leaking. Water stains on several ceiling panels. This place needs to be shutdown! There is mold that guests are breathing. read more

The Amethyst also opened a beautifully renovated rentable party room at the hotel that we were first to use ! we utilized it for our welcome dinner for out of town guests , complete w bar, tables, patio access, fridge ,ice and a gorgeous in wall divider fish tank . We had food catered in and it was perfect! Our guests stayed anywhere from a week to 2 days minimum and we have nothing but thanks for the entire staff ! See you all in August !

I booked a night in a $59.00 economy first floor room with 2 queen beds for a late November stay. The day before checkin, I called to confirm my reservation. The man I spoke with suggested I upgrade for $20 more to a deluxe room with a "cathedral ceiling." I told him I wanted a first floor room and he said that would be fine, so I agreed to the upgrade. When I checked in, I was charged for the $79 room, then put into a first floor room with two queen beds and a low ceiling. I went back to the desk to check whether I had been put into the wrong room. The woman at the desk said that the deluxe rooms with cathedral ceilings are all on the second floor. I told her about the conversation I'd had with the man the day before and she didn't seem to understand what he had told me, and didn't seem to care. I think the suggestion to upgrade was a bait and switch tactic to confuse me, which it did. Beware of this place! When we checked in, there was a piece of food or possibly skin or mucus, with a hair stuck to it, dried in the sink. Also, the room was very cold with no way to turn up the heat. Even though it was a double queen room, there was only one chair. The room was lacking in convenient working electrical outlets. When I tried to contact the front desk, the phone wasn't working. Neither was the television. We had no desire to have any more conversations with the staff, though, so we played music from one of our devices instead of watching TV, and got out of there the next day. read more

Don't book-I t's a a SHIT BOX ! For $300 + I'm embarrassed to say I stayed there! I would have given it zero stars if an option- We booked an efficiency for the 2 of us over night- thinking we would enjoy the space- have snacks hang out between pool and beach /boardwalk time. Liked the idea of having a pool ( the pool btw closed before 7-after we returned from dinner!) ...being walking distance to everything Well it all sounded good but that was before the stench hit us !Upon opening the door to our room -stale cigarette smoke and overwhelming carpet fresh greeted us -The carpet was damp the sheets too! I was afraid to open my suitcase/ not sure what I would take home w me. A Dump w a capital D. The bathroom door didn't close and the vanity had nicotine stains from dangling cigarettes over the years- GROSS! I was afraid to sit on the toilet. It was so stuffy stanky -We cranked the AC and opened the window so we could breathe. But the window was screenless- so we took a chance leaving it opened all night- who knew what would crawl in- we would have died from the stench if we didn't have the fresh humid air flowing in. I wanted to sleep in my car but my friend said take a Xanex - you'll be fine. I wasn't . I was up all night. It was a very disappointing and terrible stay. And bonus there was a recycled many times I've envelope on the night stand w " tips would be appreciated " Really??? We left it better than we found the place! Shame on the amethyst! read more

Be careful, check for bedbugs! Hope you don't have to find out the bad way like us! Rooms are filthy ! read more

Do yourself a favorite and do not stay here. My friends and I planned a holiday weekend trip and stayed at this dump...first mistake there. We paid out the wazoo for a crappy motel for 3 nights when we could have gotten a nicer Air BnB for the same price. The customer service was horrible and unprofessional. My friends room was ready before ours and their toilet was clogged with things I didn't even know existed. All rooms are completely outdated, the outlets don't work unless the lights are on. After being promised two rooms with a kitchenette, we were given the crappy economy rooms. At night, degenerates literally piss in the pool. Oh and best part is, they use this motel as a crack whore hostel in the winter... Thank god we brought our own sheets and bath towels otherwise I'm surprised we didn't catch a disease. GROSS. Do not stay here. read more

Raged as Tiki Bar all day for my birthday. Walked back here. Staff is extremely nice and let us check in much earlier than our check in time. Pool is a vibe. The stripper we brought back was a vibe too. Highly recommend the hotel and strippers for your next birthday celebration. read more

Came here for Memorial Day weekend. The motel itself was definitely in need of a major renovation. The bathrooms were old and dated. The beds were ok on terms of being comfortable. It's slim pickings in terms of amenities. I couldn't get wifi to work, they give you the smallest bar of soap and the towels are pretty small. The only really strong plus is that they give you free bagels in the morning which is great from a long night of partying and the location is awesome because you can walk to the boardwalk. read more

Amethyst Beach Motel - Room - Hotels Near Me - Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Worst place I ever stayed in my entire life. The owners are horrible people I went there for a bachelorette party this weekend with three girlfriends our one friend booked a room. It was a double queen room. On the second day staying there The owner screamed at my girlfriend who booked a room online saying that five people stayed there when in reality it was four of us. They targeted us on our way to dinner and screamed and cursed at us saying that we owed more money when my friend in reality just paid $900 for that room online. To avoid confrontation she told them to charge the card the first person walked away to go tell the other guy who then chased us down threatening to call the cops on us that were trespassing. And forced all four of us to go to the front and pay right now and give them our identification cards. The male who took our information continue to scream back-and-forth with my girlfriend who booked our room and then screamed at the bride who was supposed to be enjoying her weekend but is now terrified. Had any of our husbands been there I guarantee you we would not have been treated like this. Everybody was so uncomfortable to go back to the room. I ended up calling my husband to pick me up last night he had to drag my baby and young child out because we actually feared for our safety. As we were leaving the owner was screaming at another guest and the cops showed up. If you want to actual enjoy your stay don't stay at this place 1 it's not worth the money the rooms are small and disgusting and definitely not cleaned well 2 they will treat you like trash and threaten to kick you out after you book and pay all that money just to get more money out of you. What do you do in a situation where you don't have a car and you already paid $900 to stay in that room. I have never experienced anything like this in my life please beware I fear for anybody that stays at this place. read more

Went there off season. Pool closes early. Rooms are dank. Bathroom towels yellow stains. Would never bring my family back again. Food was left in microwave. Disgusting. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Not our usual Pt Pleasant hotel but we needed one quick night for an early morning event on the boardwalk. We were unsatisfied with many things. No hair dryer in room or to borrow. Phone in room didn't work to call office. Light in room was broken. AC wasn't on at first so room was hot and stuffy. Inside the AC vent was mold. Extension cord hanging from outlet in wall. Difficult to get extra pillows. The worst was when we brought our concerns to a manager while checking out, he had a terrible attitude, was very dismissive and did not care one bit. He might as well have given us the finger he was so rude. TERRIBLE customer service, the worst I've ever had from a hotel. Stay away at all costs! read more

I have to give credit where credit is due! Amanda was very efficient, friendly ad helpful to any needs we had! What started out to be a day at the beach with friends turned into a week stay. We found our hidden gem! My daughter couldn't stay out of the pool and the location was a block away from the beach, couldn't ask for a better place to stay. We already told Amanda we will be back soon! read more

I haven't stayed here in decades, but there weren't many options for a Saturday night in February. I chose Amethyst because of proximity to the boardwalk, where we would be attending a couple of VIP parties. Room was outdated at best, in horrible condition, and felt dirty. Wasn't quite sure how I was going to make it through the night, but it was freezing out and I had no intention of going further out of my way. Wrong choice. We enjoyed ourselves, had a few drinks and came back around midnight. Walking down Arnold Avenue, we were accosted by a female in her 20's. She was with a group of 5 other males and females, but she approached us alone, stating she was looking to help us back to the hotel. She continued to follow us after we repeatedly told her we were fine, and tried to push her way into the room and steal my pocketbook off my shoulder. I held on to it, and we both yelled at her. She took off. I did not call the police, as there was no actual crime to report, and I just wanted to go to sleep so I could wake up and get out of there. I reported it to the hotel manager in the morning, and she did not take it seriously at all. Yes, they have cameras all over the place, and I'm sure they have the incident on video, Avoid this place at all costs. read more

The motel was old, outdated and dirty. We found centipedes in the tub two out of three days we were there. The staff wasn't overly friendly and it is way overpriced even though we booked it through booking.com. Some of the motel guests were "questionable". It was the worst hotel/motel we've ever stayed at and I can say that we won't be back. On one of the mornings the motel had a sign out on the patio that said "no swimming, no noise, no exceptions". You can't run a business like that. read more

I would come back to this place if they renovated. When we arrived it was okay for the price. It's 2 blocks from the beach and I figured it was perfect since the price was so cheap. The rooms are outdated, falling apart, mold in the bathrooms, carpet wasn't even vacuumed and I just felt dirty even sitting in the room. However I was trying to enjoy it and not be picky so I continued to stay. Then later on I went by the pool to do some work on my computer and I sat on the lounge chairs which were made of wood and were soooo uncomfortable. I got up and decided to leave and get my money back. The employees were so nice and understanding and refunded us right away. This place has potential and I hope they can renovate someday bc I will come back. Thanks again for understanding. read more

July 2 2020 I emailed them with the reference numbers of the 3/4 rooms to cancel . I HAVE THE EMAIL. I then called spoke to a women, told her she said no problem, yes reservations will be cancelled.

Not bad, two small blocks from the beach and right into the kids section of rides. Perfect with a toddler. We walked it to and from the hotel-easy. My room was fine, clean, and a single king. They also have their own parking lot-no worries there. The family that runs it was very helpful. Woo sahh...a good relaxing time... read more

Please don't stay here it's run down barbecues with know propane tanks all pictures you see on website are all false advertisement. They make it look beautiful in photos but when you get there very disappointing.It's not what you see in photos. Toilet runs constantly and have to flush twice. Had to clean our own rooms maids never came to clean our room. They only cleaned the ones that people checked out of another guest that stayed there said the same thing. They didn't even freshen it up. Had to make our own beds so did my family members that stayed in the other rooms. Maybe the housekeepers should stay off there phones seen them talking on there phones and texting. The landscape you see in photos are false. The wooden picnic tables are not there. The lounge chairs are fixed with board walk wood so uncomfortable had to go and buy a chair to sit in sun. It felt like I actually laid on the board walk when I sat in there lounge chairs Had to pay 40 dollars more a night to park wasn't included in price didn't let booking.com know about it so the price wasn't accurate. The girl said I would get a voucher so it would be waved when we arrived for parking all we got was charged. They have a lot that they let people from other hotels park there when they go to the board walk they charge 50 a pop. All they cared about there parking business. We where not guaranteed a space when we left to go to dinner cause it was filling up with people from other hotels. My niece had to leave them the keys so when someone left then they had a space for her she didn't get her keys back until the next day at 9am when someone came in. Garbage near pool emptied every other day over flowing ants all over pool area from garbage. No one there at night so make sure nothing happens like a toilet bowl breaking cause your screwed. Young adults had a pool party kept us up until 3am girls swimming nude . Told front desk next morning I was told to call cops if it happens again. Now I have to be security at these outrageous prices. Hotdog bun swimming in water near filter yum. Photo of bagels yea right false advertisement to get you to book with them. The place is run down. All they want is your money. I highly recommend the manor motel or white sands very nice and clean . Theresa is a nice woman she works there and tries her best. I should of looked up the reviews before I booked here there are more complaints on this motel than good. I really wish they would update there photos so people can see what they are really walking into. Renter beware!!!!!! All good reviews where over a year ago. Owner should take pride in his hotelbusiness and not his parking business At the bottom of this page hit bat that says reviews not currently recommended to show you I'm not lying. Call a spade a spade. Michele C two reviews down from me said it perfectly. read more

Stayed here while passing through and sorry I did. This place needs a serious overhaul since currently it's a dumpy beach motel with terrible rooms and hard uncomfortable beds. The place sits in a great location a block from the boardwalk and beach but too bad staying here is risky. The exterior is a dumpy run down building with a shabby courtyard and pool and a bad fountain in the middle. The rooms look like they are about to fall in on you with stained ceilings and run down bathrooms and kitchenettes. The outside decks are leaning so bad it could give way at anytime. Plus the prices of this place are outrageous for no reason except that it's close to the beach, plus they charge for parking and a resort fee of $26?? For what, stained bed sheets and ripped towels? Skip this dive and try the hundreds of other places to stay along the beach. read more

I normally shudder at the thought of a motel, but the Amethyst Beach Motel was pretty solid. My group reserved room 139 which was a two-bedroom suite that had a living room, dining room, kitchen and one bathroom. One of my friends had been in this room a few years back and said it used to have two bathrooms. The suite next-door had been converted into an office and one of the bathrooms had been limited from room 139. Aside from being able to legitimately house 8+ people in the suite and having one bathroom, the accommodations were decent. The entire suite was very dated with old TVs and fixtures but it was clean and comfortable. All rooms also include a complimentary bagel, pastry and coffee breakfast in the pool area. Discount beach badges are available at the front desk. They also have a ton of local brochures and a good knowledge of the area. The hotel is only a few blocks off the beach and ideal for families and partiers alike. Again it's nothing fancy but it's solid. read more

A complete dump. The rooms are filthy, the desk staff is rude. After they screwed up our room reservation, they told us we'd be given an "upgrade" to a suite for one night. Got to the suite. No sheets on the bed, convertible couch still in disarray from the previous guests. One towel in the bathroom, with a cockroach to keep it company. We left, and I stopped the charge on my card. As we handed in our key, I told the man at the desk about the condition of the room, and that I would be stopping the charge, his answer was "There's nothing wrong with that room. We'll fight you on that. " read more

Place was dirty, no security ,upgrading needed badly charged for parking , room service was for rooms that people checked out of while you were staying there rooms were not freshened up and other guests said same thing no breakfast was provided also no barbecues we're available with any propane hooked up after 9pm no available staff was around for an emergency and they came in at 9am when I left for the evening to go to dinner when I came back I had to wait for a spot they sold it to another person and I had to leave keys unaware I could not get them back until 9 am next day I would suggest booking another hotel read more

Stayed one night and was pleasantly surprised. It's a Jersey beach motel so you're not going to find a 5 star resort for the price. Location was great and the staff was super friendly and very accommodating. The room was very clean and well maintained. read more

What a scam this hotel is... Booked months in advance and waited for week that I wanted to become available and booked. Received two separate emails 1) with pending reservation and 2) confirmation with dates I requested payment. Fast forward 3 months later I receive an email that there system was allegedly hacked and that all reservation were cancelled. Called and answer given was flimsy as best. Then said they would attempt to compensate for alleged hack and offered 10 dollars off a night. Absolutely disgusted... read more

SORRY to give a bad review. I am always fair when giving reviews for any place. This Motel is in need of an update. It is very old and out dated. I'm surprised it got any positive reviews. Unfortunately, the only good was the location (near boardwalk) and friendly staff. I usually stay at the Pelican Point Motel (next door) but no vacancies. The parking was an extra $10 per night. They charge a resort fee of $13 per day for use of BBQ grill, wifi, bagels and discount beach passes. (although it is written on the website) it should be included . The place was very old and my room smelled musty. Had a lot of cable channels but, my TV remote kept breaking. The mini frig was blowing off heat. I was told by the handyman to defrost it . The bathroom mirror was stained and the frame of mirror was broken. The toilet was constantly running and would not flush. Only 1 outlet worked. They do give you some mini soap as far as amenities. No coffee pot in room but they offer coffee with the bagel in the am (that you pay for in the "Resort Fee:) There is a pool but did not look that clean. This is the first negative review I am writing. Sorry, but need to share with other travelers. I have stayed at many NJ shore Motels and this was the worst. My expectations are not that high. My main concern is cleanliness and secondly is wifi which did not work the 3 days I was here. Really disappointed because I spent over $530 for the 2 nights and it was not worth it at all. This was our last summer trip :(. and was not a pleasant one. They really need to renovate this place. Instead they call it a retro 70 style Motel. Don't believe all the great reviews. I can't imagine anyone rating this 4 stars or more. read more

Amethyst Beach Motel - stained and broken mirror - Hotels Near Me - Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Don't stay here!! First, they called us to confirm our check in time- and we said 2 pm. Next, we got there and they said our room will not be ready for two hours. When we came back, they gave us a key and we walked into the room and it still wasn't ready yet. After this, we complained and got a different room. After this, around 1 in the morning, strange music started to play on the hotel speakers causing us to wake up. Then midway through the night, the toilets stopped working. Then, in the morning, a strange man walked into our room, but we were told it was just maintenance...spend a few extra dollars and stay somewhere nicer. read more

I thought it was a nice place but management is horrible and "john" the owner to put it nicely is not friendly at all. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

I booked a girls weekend at the Amethyst beach motel, and we had a great time. I had a little bit of an issue with my reservation due to an issue with an employee, but Theresa was very helpful and very pleasant! Some tips: Bring your own shampoo, conditioner and beach towels. The room did not have a blow dryer, iron, or safe. The room had a frig, and microwave. You are only allotted 1 car per room. The beds were comfy, the ac was good, and the shower had excellent pressure and plenty of hot water. They also offer coffee, pastries and bagels in the morning. We didn't partake but might next time! They are 2 blocks from the boardwalk which was great, their pool area was also nice. The only negative we experienced was from some of the staff. Both days that we tried to relax at the pool there seemed to be an issue amongst some of the staff. The one day 2 staff members started fighting in the pool area about keys, it was not the ideal place for them to start screaming and cursing at each other. It also seems that some of the staff bring their children which I know we would have killed for as kids, but when you are trying to relax it's hard to when you have a strangers kid sitting on your lounge chair talking to you, the entire time. The boys were very cute but when your trying to get away from your own kids, it can get a little annoying! Lol The place isn't the Taj Mahal, but we felt the positives outweighed the negatives and would definitely stay here again. read more

We checked in for the weekend this past Friday, and the young lady at the desk couldn't have been more helpful. Our room was mostly clean but desperately in need of an upgrade, including a stained, worn armchair, damaged furniture, rust in the tub and a barely functional shower head that was pulling away from the tile. It was only a short walk to the boardwalk, which was the only point in their favor. Given the amount of money we paid, there should have been more than one. When we checked in, we noticed that there was an issue with our reservation and the young lady told us that we needed to speak to the owner, who would be on duty in the morning. My SO went back in the morning and started the first step of a complete runaround from the management. We went back 3 times in total and at the end were told that while there was a booking error, we would have to go back to booking.com to deal with it. I'm not really sure why it took 3 visits to get to this conclusion. We also found out upon arriving that there was an additional resort fee for a continental breakfast, wifi (which kept kicking us off) and amenities. The final thing was the parking issue. We received a note under the door on Sunday morning saying that our vehicle would have to be out of the lot by 11 am to make way for incoming guests. When we went out to move our vehicles, public parking was filling up rapidly, and my family member was unable to get a spot. He went to speak to the woman who owned the hotel to ask if he could park his car in the motel lot for the day and was told it would cost $50. Apparently, our spots were not needed as much for incoming guests as much as extra income, as she was selling spots to the general public on the first nice Sunday at the shore in quite a long time. All in all, I could forgive a slighly shabby Shore hotel, because that's part of the experience. What I can't get past is what seems like a less-than-caring attitude on the part of the ownership of the motel. read more

Hotel was okay and location perfect pool nice but they definitely over charge for this place the rooms are like a $55-75 room. They try to over charge book on hotels.com or booking.com to get a cheaper price. Than manager tried to convince us to book through him for 255 a night plus tax ummm anyway we stay extra charge for the pool. And they close it at 8 pm even though check on Is at 4pm just weird. It's ok in a pinch like it was for us but beware. read more

We have been going there with two kids, one of whom has autism, for three years and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. The pool area is festive but the rooms right off the pool are quiet. The patio is filled with lounge chairs and plenty of sun or shade if you choose. Nice size heated pool. Can't beat the location unless you stay on the boardwalk and I'm too cheap, it's only two short blocks, just across the street from the public parking lot. Clean, the service is good amd friendly and the continental breakfast is definitely a plus. The wifi was hit or miss and could be improved but I've stayed in four star hotels for work that had wifi crap out. Looking forward to staying again next year. read more

We stayed at this motel about two weeks ago. The front desk manager who we checked in with was very kind, but unfortunately, our stay just went downhill from there. Our room was grossly overpriced for what we were met with when we walked in the door (which we struggled to even unlock and had to have a passerby help us out, who then struggled as well). Having worked housekeeping for a popular hotel before, I know what the expectation for cleanliness should be for every element of the room, and everything grossed me out. Our room (#101) smelled of mildew/mold, and from other reviews, it seems this has been a lasting problem and still yet to be resolved. This is a severe problem, especially if a customer have severe allergies to mold or spores. There were also very few outlets in the room besides a surge protector in the middle of the back of a very large, heavy piece of furniture and one near the ceiling, both a nightmare to reach. The absolute nastiest part of it all was the beard/pubic hair all over one of the shower walls. We wore flipflops in the shower because it very obviously had not been cleaned. Overall, we are completely dissatisfied, especially with the insane price we paid to not even have bare minimum expectations met. read more

Stayed here Memorial Day w/e. one of the only places that offered 2 night stay. Was disappointed with the room. I know there has been a lot of restoring since sandy but the issues present weren't a "Sandy" issue it was a "cleaning half A$$" issue. There was a smell of a dirty rag in the room. The bathroom wasn't clean. Hair on toilet and in microwave and it did not smell sanitized at all. Aside from the condition of the room itself, the service was great. It is probably best to NOT have a room near the pool. Thank goodness it was chilly because no one was really in there; but the ground level itself is noisy. All in all the owners are delightful. Very close to the boardwalk so you get what you pay for. All hotels/motels raised their rates this yr due to Sandy. read more

I want to first start off by saying staff was somewhat nice, but other than that the place really needs a remodeling pool chairs small old dirty looking. All the doors to the rooms were very difficult to open doors stuck. Took us 5 mins to get into my cousins room. My son got stuck in the bathroom. We had to push door open and he hurt his toe. Most place when you check out you can stay by pool and I was never told we had to leave parking lot. They said we could not park there after 11. With the initial 10 parking in the bill. I would never stay here again. We should have just stayed at the Point pleasant Manor. But no I wanted to try someplace different. Lesson learned. Never again. Do not recommend. read more

Stayed here for 1 night. Usually stay at the Pelican Point next door. It was an ok stay but they definitely need to take some tips from how the motel next to then renovated. The room itself was fine- got the job done- but the bathroom was a mixture of stuff from 1960-1970 and not the cleanest. We had a bug in our room- fine close to the beach- but couldn't tell what kind it was. Towels clean and only soap is facial and 4 bars of it. Would I stay again- maybe due to the location but they definitely need major bathroom renovation and cleaning up in general. No Bed bugs or anything- always a plus! read more
