Disgusting room

The room was almost uninhabitable. The baseboards were coming off next to the wall by the bathroom. I found 2 bugs crawling on the walls. The paint was chipped in several places, and it was overall very rundown, old and dirty. I was supposed to stay there a week, but ended up leaving.

Do not recommend!

Hotel was a dump and in middle of construction. Our room smelled like someone was smoking at open doorway and hotel couldn't fabrezze it enough. Not to mention the police banging on a door at midnight because of a disturbance that requires fire department and ambulance. No security to call as phone in room was disconnected. I should have researched it more but it reminded me of those motels people go to shoot up. How this property is in a good area if Encinitas is crazy.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms have multiple repairs needed, especially in the bathroom. There was mold on the shower putty/grout in a few places and horrible ceiling patch jobs beginning to get dark brown. It is unhealthy and they need professional assistance. Secondly, the walls need insulation. It was a very noisy w patience and I heard the upstairs people all night as if bouncing and pounding on the floor. Third, there is almost no air flow unless an ancient old window a/c is on, which is loud. Fourth, people party near their cars outside and it is noisy. Staff were not helpful and often did not pick up my calls. I paid over $750 for 4 days and it was awful. I do not plan on taking Expedia nor Wyndham Days Inn again.
