Review of Harrison Village Motel 1*

Overall this was a pretty terrible experience. If you want to teach your children what poor living conditions are like, this would be a great place to do it! There’s mold on the walls in the bathroom, the beds were highly uncomfortable and questionably clean, much like the dishes in the cupboards. As I first took out a cup, there was a ring of what looked like either old coffee or tea. There was also a printed sign that threatened to fine guests $75 if dishes were left unclean. They did not leave us a sponge to clean them with. Obviously, they don’t come in and check, because they were evidently not clean when we came in. Looking back, I suppose the man who showed us the room quickly flushing the toilet as we came in was already a red flag but we decided to take a chance. I managed to step on the plug of a Lamp on the floor several times throughout our stay, because for whatever reason, they put a lamp on the bedside table with no outlet in sight to plug it into. While looking through the cupboards, we quickly discovered that there was a pot lid, but alas, no pot in sight! None of the cutlery matched which begs the question, where did they find it? When I called the front desk, who was apparently not actually at the establishment at the time, she was very little help and had told me the pot has probably been stolen. This was not helpful information for me, and neither was her solution of bringing one the next morning, as we were leaving the next morning and would no longer be in need of the pot, unless we were planning on stealing it of course. The last thing we’d discovered was that there was a hole in the wall leading directly outside. So when choosing a place to stay at Harrison Hot Springs, I really suggest looking past the great view this one has to offer, and instead taking business anywhere else.
