Worst hotel experience ever

This hotel might be the worst hotel I ever spent time in. From the moment I checked in it was horrible. There was no air conditioning and the front desk would not provide me with a fan. The hotel is run down dirty and full of bugs. The front desk manager is a complete jerk.

Wow! I’ve stayed at many hotels before and I can’t believe on what a wonderful experience we had staying at the Quality in near Hearst Castle. As soon as I walked in the gentleman at the front desk (ugh! I can’t believe I forgot his name) greated me so kindly. The check in was quick and easy. They have fresh baked cookies, coffee and tea till 11pm! The pool and spa were a tiny bit outdated but they were kept nice and clean. I would recommend! Love love love.

My room didn't have a Do Not Disturb sign, so someone came into my room when I wasn't there to make the bed which I did not want. I especially did not like my pajamas being moved from my bed and placed on the night stand just to make the bed. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, but I'm pretty sure the hotel manager is a tweaker
