Royal Crest Inn Medford

Dirtiest motel I have ever stayed at. Be wise avoid this place. Bugs and trash everywhere, broken furniture, broken water facets, and the fire alarm is missing. I also, got a skin infection that I had to go see my Doctor so he could dive me a very potent medication to get over this. It took about six weeks to clear up and go away. There is a Motel 6 less than a mile away and it was luxurious compared to this place and cheaper.

The sheets were stained, the sink faucet handle wasn’t secured to the counter and felt like it was about to break off, the sink didn’t drain, and the tub/shower handle was broken, so only one temperature (way too hot!) was available. One set of exterior stairs were rusting away and some treads were loose; the other set was in further disrepair but not really cordoned off, representing a real safety hazard. I tried to find a staff member to relay all this to upon checkout, but no one was available, and I had to hit the road. When I travel alone on a long road trip and just need a place to lay down for the night, I aim for the cheap end of the search and don’t care about amenities or luxury, but this place was way worse than just being low-end. Apartments in the condition my room was would be considered uninhabitable and unsanitary by a rental board. I want to support local/small/non-chain businesses, and am a real cheapskate when traveling alone, but wish I had spent just a few more bucks and stayed anywhere else. This place should be required to shut down until basic repairs are made; I’m concerned for others’ safety if they stay here. Don’t.

We stay in several motels every year, and this is undoubtedly the worst experience we've ever had. The hairdryer did not work, there was no hot water, the towels were thin, worn out and stained, and there was no WiFi. When we mentioned this to the "manager", he just stared blankly at us. I'd love to have positive comments, but there are none. There was honestly nothing "just OK", as everything was bad.
