Worst stay ever !

One If The Worst Experiences i have had and I’m a frequent traveler, I get you pay for what you get but this was beyond that. To Start upon check in , I was given one key , after unpacking and checking into our room , there was a homeless man approaching us . When we tried entering our room, the key wasn’t working . I had to leave my 3 year old and wife outside as I go to get a new key . When I went to get a new key , I was told maybe I was holding my phone to close . When I got a new key it worked once and then stop working. Again . So again I had to go back and get a new key . Then as we entered the room , the room smelled so strong and bad . We took videos and photos of everything , there was a bug in one of the beds , there was a burn stain on the other . One of the pillows had the word survive written in it . There was a red spots all over the bathroom mirror . This was just the room . The hotels.com needs to update that people as well love in the hotel . There was consent noise and random people standing outside. We never felt safe . We were constantly getting approached for money or a cigarette, lighter , with my 3 year old . Don’t get me started with at night . We couldn’t sleep. There were alarms so loud at night I think people were breaking in cars I’m not sure but the alarms of the cameras kept us up . We wanted to leave our hotel and room but traveling with a 3 year old sometimes it’s not as easy. Place was over all dirty from floor to ceiling , outside sketchy
The word survive written on bed pillow
Random blood stain in bathroom mirro
Other bed sheet also dirty

Puppies non-stop barking

We reserved room 104 and everything was fine on our first night but around 9 am on Sunday, we were woken up by at least 3 puppies crying and barking in either room 204 or 205 above us. Made a call to front desk to inquire if they can please check on it. They stated they would send someone. We waited for another 2 hours and puppies were still crying and barking. As we were leaving for the day, we stopped by the front desk to see if they sent anyone and the lady at the front desk said they did and didn’t hear anything. I told her that wasn't right because you can still hear them and I recorded it as well. She said she would check again. Luckily when we returned to our room later that evening, the puppies were no longer barking and crying.

The best motel in all of north county for location, nicely renovated rooms, friendly staff and quiet. New heat & cool units in each room are easy to set and are accurate to set and forget. There are plenty of fast food restaurants around and a Walmart within walking distance. Lyft & Uber frequent this motel as needed and all rooms are easy to find. Coffee is available each morning in the lobby until 10:00 a.m. which is seldom seen these days. An elevator which makes it so much easier to check-in & also checkout without having to use stairs.

It’s not the property, but the location, as it is the vagrants and ne’er-do-wells milling about like bottom feeders. It might sound petty, and I’m glad someone could use it, but I had a couple of gallon water jugs taken out of my pickup bed. I wouldn’t leave anything of value in sight, or even leave it in the car. Sigh, it is a sign of the times.
