My wife and I stayed in hotels for 5 night straight during our PCH Highway road trip from Seattle to LA. This was the worst hotel experience of the trip. First, there is no front desk worker on duty after 5pm, so it’s all automated and you log yourself into the room. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem, but today it was.
First and foremost, the room appeared clean, the decorations were nice, it was cute and welcoming. Overall so far it’s looking good. However, as soon as I opened the door I was met with a most unwelcome odor. Honestly it was awful. The first odor was an overwhelming “fake clean chemicals” odor as if I was inhaling straight Lysol. It almost made my eyes water. As if they had just cleaned the room with overpowering strong cleaning chemicals to cover another odor. Then I got to the bathroom, and it smelled like an old church bathroom, lol. You know, that specific odor of a bathroom mixed with glade air freshener mixed with a diaper bin full of dirty diapers mixed with old fish. We opened the doors and windows for an hour to air out the room. The Lysol smell was able to be dissipated, but the bathroom smell of fish and diapers would not subside. If there had been a front desk attendant I would have asked for another room - but there wasn’t anyone to ask so we just sucked it up.
Other minor complaints are that the sink was mostly stopped up and took more than 5 mins to drain, and that the beds weren’t comfortable.
Cute and promising, but didn’t deliver
