Newly Remodeled...Still disappointed

This hotel was remodeled in the last 3 years, so one would think everything would work fantastic....Nope. The sink drains poorly and the sink stopper does not work well. Plus there were ants coming from somewhere and crawling over the sink. The main tub spout was loose and would leak in "shower" mode. The main door into my room was way off "square". and had a half inch gap on the bottom. Any mouse could easily get into my room. They used to have carpeting in these rooms, now it is fake hard wood. I prefer the carpet. On a positive note, I thought the bed was comfortable.

Close to Stanford but needs fine tuning.

Toilet lever kept getting stuck. I am celiac and only gluten free option was banana for full breakfast. And the lovely jack hammer at 7:00 am for alarm clock. Oh can’t forget the rock hard bed. But it was clean.

The Absolute Bare Minimum

When I checked in, the clerk barely looked at me as he was involved in a personal phone conversation. He just asked for my ID and credit card and handed me my room key. When I returned to the motel in the evening there weren’t any parking spaces left, so I had to take a handicap space. Lastly, no lamps in the room. Only harsh overhead lighting.
