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.

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.
