Review of Diplomat Motel
1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 20 Oct 2008
Roaches. no plug in the bath tub. Recently painted, and they painted the carpet as well. The place stank and I was sure I was going to catch something. I had to switch rooms to take a bath, and the next room was not an improvement. The lady was rude, and refused to refund my money so that I could stay elsewhere.
This place was AWFUL.

Reviewed 23 August 2007

I recently stayed overnight at the DIPLOMAT hotel....BIG MISTAKE!!! My relatives live nearby and I have stayed here in the past.....
intially (4-5 years ago) it was average. The treatment that we recieved was at best pathetic. The owner "greeted" us with a look of total disgust. She was so rude, if it would not of been a late rainy evening, we would of gone somewhere else. We asked for a non-smoking room...it stunk of cigarettes...the knobs on the air conditioner were
broke....the carpet had big black stains all over it. The 1 queen size bed's head board was broken and laying on the floor behind the head of the bed....the few towels we had were stained terribly....
the shower was so stained..we did not even use it. The toliette only flushed if you held the handle down the entire time. The screen door was broke and would slam or hit you....The TV, microwave & small dirty refrigerator were all attatched by one single extension cord plugged into an outlet. There was no t-paper and the remote control was broke. We got the nerve to go to the office were once again we were confronted by this women....who this time was obviously irritated to be bothered, again. We got 1 roll of paper and were told basically "too bad" about the remote. There's more, but I'm sure you get the point. Fortunately, we only stayed 1 night...ARE YOU
READY?????? $55.00 a night. Don't say that youv'e not been warned!!!!
