Money hungry

After staying there for 3 nights they came back because they didn’t charge me a deposit they wanted to come in my room more than 5 times. But if you stay more then so many days they didn’t trip off deposit. Anyways last night there I paid a 50 dollar deposit for them to try and charge me 50 more dollars the moment I left. I called them and they lied about the issues. Said that they charging me another 50 dollars for trash and the sheets. I guess since they fixing there deck issues for over a year and re modeling rooms they trying to charge More then there rate. Since they are the cheapest hotel in Monterey county.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The sheets were starched but stained dirty. There were two sad little pillows on my king bed. There were three towels in the bathroom - a washcloth, a towel to stand on, and a thin small bath towel. The paint was peeling off the walls and someone had used toilet paper to plug the peephole in the front door. I literally only stayed because theres a no refund policy and I was exhausted after a very long day of driving and didn't have the fortitude to change locations. I slept on top of the covers on my picnic blanket. I would not recommend.
