I asked my 8 year old to get one of her crocs from under the bed and she pulled out a ViBRATOR… I told the cleaning lady and showed the pic to the front desk. I advised them to talk to their staff about inspecting the entire room. It was so gross. I am upset and disgusted.

I will not stay in this motel again. I stayed there 3 nights good location in downtown Davis. Plus good breakfast. However they accept homelexs residents every morning i would see 5 hxmeless with their individual shopping carts leaving their rooms. When i asked the hotel clerk whether they accepted hxmeless residents, he said they are not homeless if they are booked at the hotel. I also asked how come i dont see them at breakfast. Then i noticed the hotel clerk preparing breakfast plates and then delivering them to individual rooms. Then this sales clerk what i had against the unhoused. I said i had nothing against them but i dont feel secure living with them. Then i asked how they paid for their rooms ? He said they paid with cards like me. Then i asked credit cards or housing vouchers for the unhoused since i cannot call them homeless. I will not stay here again because i dont feel secure staying with a lot of residents that are unhoused.
