Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Hello, I stayed at Motel 6 Salinas – North Monterey Area on Aug 30–31. The bathtub in my room was extremely dirty and unsanitary. Because of this, we were unable to take a shower at all during our stay. This was unacceptable and made the room unusable for its basic purpose. I am requesting a 100% refund for this stay, as the conditions did not meet minimum cleanliness or health standards. Please confirm when the refund will be issued.

We left Wednesday morning returned in afternoon. I found the cleaners had been in and taken something they shouldn't have. Went to front desk, clerk was flippant and said it was trash. I explained trash was in trash can and the recycling was put in a different area. However this was taken and should've been left alone. Advised no one to enter our room again till we check our.. i know this is a little crazy but i had put stuff away and that means it wasn't trash...
