A friend of mine tried to get a room here, and said she wanted a smoking room. The women who worked at the front desk said there were only non-smoking rooms left. So my friend said 'okay, I'll take it" The woman just stood there looking at her. My friend said, "it's fine, we're not going to smoke in the room anyway."
But the women would not rent the non-smoking room to her! She basically told us outright that we would smoke in it!
We said, don't smoke. We are not going to go out and start smoking right now, so that we can fill your motel with smoke, to spite you! Thanks, but we have other things to do with our lives, lady. Holy cow.
My friend had simply brought a scented candle, and we just didn't want to have a fire alarm go off. The lady eventually rented the room to us. But only after I said "let's go" to my friend, also saying I would drive her to a Reedley motel.
Long story short, I would not recommend this motel. It is sad that Sanger does not have any lodging that isn't shady and tweeker-ridden. The Rose Motel is actually worse.
((( if there are any Angel investors out there...I will manage this motel and make it cute and quaint, just buy it for me. I'm a good cook... People could finally stay in Sanger and not feel like they were staying in a halfway house with those who have recently vacated our penitentiaries......pleeeeease? )))
You would be better off staying in a bed and breakfast near the foothills if you want to actually experience relaxation. A motel like this one is for one of a few things...in the phrase sex, drugs, and rock and roll, the only thing I didn't see here was the rock and roll part.
I will also add that while we were haggling with the lady at the front desk, a man came down from one of the rooms, and asked for "the spray", and the women working got a thing out from under the counter and handed it to him. I didn't see until he returned with it later, that it was roach and bed bug spray. He (and she) regarded it as if it was the most normal thing in the world. EW. And, um, barf!
So, if you're a person with standards and self respect, don't stay here.
And if it looks like it's getting foggy, be an adult and get yourself to Reedley for a proper motel! read more
