Originally Posted By fkurucz I was able to book a room at the BW Anaheim Inn (the one btween Denny's and Tony Roma's) for about $70 a night (plus tax) for the first week of December. I did use the corporate discount code from my employer. I checked it out on TripAdvisor.com. Some loved it, and others had bad experiences. I figure that all hotels will have bad experiences, but as long as more than a few people say that it was OK then I'm good to go. Anyway, you might want to see what TripAdvisor.com has to say about the Super 8 Katella.

Originally Posted By Disney Joy LOL - I just called the hotel - asked them was it clean any bugs- amazingly he told me every now and then they have bugs - that everyone does. That did it... NO everyone doesn't have bugs. I am off to the Red Rood - they don't have bugs- and are on the ART. Thanks Everyone - I don't do bugs...and I would not want to be the lucky one to have the bugs in awhile.... LOL
Originally Posted By deadmentellnotales reminds me of that scene in ghostbusters when they confront the god, she asks if the are gods, dan ackroyd say no and she attacks.

I figure it's the same with a hotel, of course it's nice that their honest and all, just not exactly the best way to bring in guests.
Originally Posted By Disney Joy just not exactly the best way to bring in guest~ I know I am thankful he was honest, and I am off to the Red Roof INN not Red Rood. I am sooo excited... I just booked my package. Mickey here I come.....

Originally Posted By Disney Joy fkurucz ~ I am not scared of ants - unless there is a mountain of them.... They got Roaches..... I am not scare of roaches...but I won't sleep with them either. NON Mice - I will move and let them have the place. Those creatures just really - I mean I have no idea why GOD created them things. EEECCHHH

When we lived in San Diego County all it would take would be to leave a dirty spoon in the sink at night and next morning there would be a million ants in the kitchen. Eventually we got fed up and had an exterminator spray the perimieter of the house on a periodic basis. >>They got Roaches..... I am not scare of roaches...but I won't sleep with them either.<< That is not nice, but according to my sister just about every hotel has them (hopefully they spray enough to keep them out of your room).
Originally Posted By fkurucz ^^That's what the insecticide is for. My sister tells me that hotels spend a lot on exterminators. Its hard to keep the bugs out. People leave food all over their rooms. Of course a newer hotel will have fewer problems than an older one. If you read the Anaheim restaurant inspection reports (I forget the website) most restaurants have some problems with vermin. And most hotels have a restaurant.

Originally Posted By fkurucz Ok, now this will really gross you out Some years ago a co-worker brought a can of honey roasted nuts to work.

I will never forget the sight of that thing.
