PSA hicksville pines idyllwild, CA: DO NOT BOOK THIS MOTEL a thread:

me & my boyfriend stayed here 2 nights, paid in full for the stay. the first night we took a bunch of fun pics because the cabins are themed & cute! i posted these pictures the next day from inside the haunted mansion themed room tagging the brand i was wearing (not sponsored btw

later that night, while i was still staying in their motel, i received a threatening dm from their instagram account saying i had to remove the tag or else would be charged a $10K fine for “location theft” even though we already paid to stay there!

after i took the tag off (even though i had every right to keep it) they asked me & my boyfriend to leave! thankfully they gave us a refund but afterwards i went through their yelp and the owners responses to people’s reviews were shocking, albeit slightly transphobic as well!

after i called them out on my story the owner even took to the hicksville pines instagram page to post this on their story
