The curtain was broken in the middle, so I had to figure out how to close it to get privacy. The shampoo, conditioner & body wash containers were empty. & majority of the plug ins weren’t working or was loose.

The attendant first said they had no first floor rooms as was our preference. The first room they gave us, the cards didn’t work then when the attendant finally let us in there was water coming out of the mini fridge covering most of the bathroom floor. He offered to wipe it dry but when we opened it there was a huge chunk of ice melting so we pointed out that it would just keep melting he reluctantly offered us another room (on the first floor).

**Extremely dirty room.** Cleaning powder from the previous guest was not vacuumed and was visible throughout the entire room. The new bedding was clean on first glance, but looking further revealed some hardened oil/pore discharge (most likely a popped blackhead or pimple) *on the bedsheet.* My room also had oily cup marks on the desk, and shockingly enough, a shattered television. The curtains were also partially broken and as a result, couldn’t be closed all the way. The bathroom was relatively clean, but had multiple dead bugs in the ceiling lamp, making it nauseating to even look at it.

Place seems rundown. Room was clean, yet the overall experience unpleasant. Microwave was old, worn out & kept turning off. No extra blankets. Mildew in the caulking of the shower. Room was not vacuumed very well. The breakfast was the most minimal I’ve had at a hotel, they had one toaster so everyone was waiting around to use it because that was the only way to eat something warm. Hardboiled eggs was the only protein. The day we left, I found mouse droppings on our bedding. I let the lady at the front desk know, and she did not even seem phased or concerned. She said she would let management know. I heard the beep from smoke alarms going off in rooms below our room, and that went on the whole time we were there. This happened to one of our relatives staying in a different room as well. He spa also Had a really bad smell in his room and the front desk was not interested in helping him out with it. I was embarrassed that we were all staying in this hotel, I wish we had chosen a different one for our family event. Down by our room was a disconnected ice machine and a trashcan, and there were rats in the trashcan. Seems like they need to get some rodent pest control. Also inconvenient to have to go to the pool area to get ice! The hot tub was shut down, which is the only thing that you would want to use in the middle of the winter in Salinas. I will not stay here again!
