Never Staying Here Again

We were suppose to be in a 3 bedroom family suite. When we checked into room 228, the deadbolt didn't work, so I asked for a new room. We were then given room 225, and I was shocked to see that the deadbolt also didn't work. I took a video of it and showed the hostess who told me that maintenance would be there at 10 am the following morning. I asked for a room with just two beds or even one bed as our plans had changed and it was now just the two of us instead of the five we had booked for. We were given room 152 which was very much not ready for guests. The pictures are from the final room. Smoke alarm wrapped in plastic and other ill remedies throughout the space. We were not offered a credit for the downgrade in space.

It’s an average motel. It’s ok. It’s not dirty. It was a little noisy because of the proximity to the 101. Not walking friendly and a little difficult to get out of the drive in a vehicle. Staff was courteous. Nothing to write home about but if you’re just looking for a place to stay, it’s fine.

My experience with the lady at the front desk was terrible. My first interaction with her I was talking to her on the phone asking if I could have an early check in. From the start, she had an attitude and it was hard to understand what she was saying. I show up to the hotel and she was immediately yelling and me while pointing her finger at me. Telling me I am rude and disrespectful, and that she was not going to respect me until I respect her. During this, I am not saying anything rude, I was asking her to stop yelling at me and that was her response. She very rudely asked for my ID and credit card and was very aggressive with every interaction. I was not pleased and will not return or recommend to anyone.

The part of the hotel where we stayed was a former apartment building. I loved having so much room, a kitchen, and even a back yard! The floor was filthy - both sticky and black with grime. The man running the front desk was doing his best but it seemed he was running the front desk for the hotel across the street as well, so there was a wait to check in and out. Not a big deal though. He was nice.
