Applegate Inn, Atwater

First thing the electric key takes about five tries to open the door. Once in the room their was no security to lock the door from within the room. the carpet was old and had burned in iron marks. The sheets were dusty and not well washed. Once in the room made my way to the restroom which the towels needed a second wash and the toilet needed serious repair it was noisey and looked like water was going to come rushing out. Once it got late I just realised that their was no way I could stay their. Checked out the same day.

Compared to the "live in Motel" next door, Applegate was the Ritz. Applegate was clean, but in need of renovation. I found a cigarette burn in my bed spread (you know things like that). Staff was super friendly, and VERY ACCOMEDATING (sp?) Then allowed us to have 5 girls in one room, and about 6 boys in another room. Rates are reasonable, and I am staying there again this year for the same conference.

Well it was clean and I really appreciated the carpeting being clean, however the restroom/bath area needed some immediate attention. The patch work in the tub was almost comical and light fixtures needed replacing.The front office persons were really helpful and it was good having Denny's in the ajoining parking lot.
