Cockroaches and Construction.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Sat 9 Dec, I booked a room via AirBNB for one week (10-17 Dec) at Coral House, and paid in full. I checked in 3 PM Sun.
Monday AM I was disturbed by the owner, who told me his handyman need to do some measuring and it would take a few moments. He assured me there would be no work being done to the room, only measuring, so I agreed.
The following day I awoke to a mans face in my window looking in my room. There WAS work scheduled for the room, but outside! The worker spent all day banging a hammer outside my room, breaking up stucco. I went to the beach all day for peace.
On the way back I talked to the owner, Rich. He apologized and assured me the work would complete THAT afternoon, so I overlooked it.
The following morning (Dec 13, Wednesday), I awoke AGAIN to the face looking in my window and another day of banging outside my window. I went to the beach for an hour of peace. Upon my return, I was awoken by the owners wife who asked if the worker could come in for 5 minutes to hang some blinds. I replied I'd already been disturbed in my room every day so far, and she assured me it would be 5 minutes to hang 2 sets of blinds.
10 minutes later, ONE set of blinds had been hung, and the worker left. I telephoned ALL THREE numbers for the motel I had, and received no response from any of them. It was then I decided to find another cleaner, quieter place.
In addition, this motel has cockroaches that scurry into holes in the wall as soon as you turn on the lights. They're pretty quick, but I took photos of the droppings. You can see them on Yelp.
