Dirty room

The first room was really dirty. Old soap in shower, dusty floors, and there was floss on the floor. Old toilet paper in bathroom and room was without coffee supplies and toiletries. Part of the room was not painted and put together. Requested to change rooms.

The night clerk was very short tempered with the lady checking in prior to me. He told her her room was on the 3rd floor so she asked where the elevator was, he said there was no elevator and she said “oh we have suitcases and an ice chest” he responded back “ it is ONLY 10 stairs ma’am” she said that was a challenge and he said if it’s a problem I will help you - in a very patronizing way. She was older and this tone was not necessary. She had asked if the there was coffee and he said kind of snarky “yes we have coffee”. Then he explained where she could park - in the back dark parking area which would be closer to her “10” stairs up. He then checked me in and I didn’t bother asking any questions except how much the room was since he removed the dog charge as I didn’t have a dog, he said he couldn’t tell me that. And again he tried to get me to park around the back and I only had to go down 5 stairs. BS - when I part closer to my room which was 13 stairs up, I did walk to where he said to park and it was no means closer, safer, or down 5 stairs. Moving on - the grounds were filthy, garbage every where. I did see clerk in their gym doing something- I did not lurk, but he should have or someone should have been walking the grounds picking up all the trash. I understand there are homeless people around so measures should be taken to guard the property and keep it clean. The hot tub was drained and not running. The toilet in our room was not flushed. No soap in dispenser.

Really bad

The hotel's condition is terrible. And maybe they underpay the cleaners. I'd like to understand. I've attached a photo of the bathroom extractor. Everything was there, really. I would never return. The beds were super hard. It was two very difficult nights.

It was an easy access room, super comfortable bed, great service! The only downside was the very small, low toilet.

The only things I did not like about the property is the attention to detail when cleaning the rooms. We found hair strands in our beds which makes me think that perhaps sheets weren’t change as well as hai found under the sink area. Not to mention towels were stained and very small. Coffee maker was not cleaned out as there was a coffee pod left In there from a previous customer. This hotel will not be my choice next time I’m in the area. I will rather pay extra to stay at another hotel or on the next town over in Salinas as it’s a short drive to Monterey.

The room was dirty. The hardwood floors clearly had not been mopped and turned our feet black with dirt. There was a dirty wash cloth from the last customer hanging over the shower (so grossed out). There were no blankets and when I asked if I can get them they made me go down stairs to get them myself. The ice bucket was dirty. The lightbulb by the bed was out. When we asked if they can replace it, they said, not today. When we told them the room was dirty they did not do anything about it. I understand this is a three star hotel so I’m not expecting the world. But I at least expect it to be properly cleaned for health and safety purposes. Super disappointing.
