Sands Resort

My family stayed at this motel at Hampton Beach, NH.  We came here to see a concert and since the location was great and the place was listed as a recommended place to stay by the Casino Ball room, we booked the room.  When we arrived the place looked filthy.  The floors looked like they had not been vacuumed for months.  Dust and dirt behind dresser, old food left in the cupboards from previous patrons, shower was stained yellow, no dishes or amenities for the bathroom.  Since the show was starting soon after our arrival we had no time to complain or look for a new place.  We had my daughters friend with us and didn't want to ruin the kids fun.  After the show we came back to the room for the night and started to get ready for bed, this is when my daughter discovered the bed bug on the sofa couch pull out mattress.  We were offered another room and to use the laundry facilities.  Since we live 2 1/2 hours away we bagged all our belongings and left in the middle of the night with two teenage girls.  Once home we left all our belongings outside and the next day had to clean, inspect and launder all of our things.  This took the entire next day.  The guy at the front desk admitted that they had been having a problem since summer time.  I understand this is what the motel industry has to deal with but, it seems like they really were not taking the problem seriously nor taking any of the procedures in order to get rid of the bed bugs.  If they had the room would not look as filthy as it did.
