Inexpensive - but worth it?

We booked late for a Cal Poly event. The price was good. The room is run-down, dirty, small, noisy, and in disrepair. The only good thing was the bedding was clean, and the beds pretty comfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property looks clean during the day. The staff was friendly checking in. The problems was at night when the roaches come out. Tried telling the staff and they were bothered by the situation. Tried asking to move us to another room far away from that one and all they did was change is to the room next to it. We checked out and tried to cancel the rest of our reservation. The staff got mad and said they were not going to reimburse the rest of the days we had already paid. Really upset at the situation.

The shower curtain should either be longer or the rod it hangs on be lowered to prevent water spilling out of the drain pan.

The manager, Nick, is a very nice guy who was super accommodating when we had a problem with our TV. This is one of the nicer budget downtown hotels in SLO. Close to everything, clean, and reasonably updated. I would stay here again.

Clean. Pleasantly surprised they had housekeeping to clean my room. Bathroom door wouldn’t close because shower curtain rod was in the way. Wish I could disable the bathroom motion sensor which turns on the light when I enter. Road noise being so close to 101 entrance.

When I checked in the guy that helped me was trying to say I only booked the room for one person even though i showed him I booked it for two people. He tried to make me pay more but I refused to pay more when I booked it for two people the first place and he all of sudden said he’ll let two people stay.
