Go to a Motel 6!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/13/06
On a recent weeklong vacation to Oregon & Washington, we had the displeasure of staying at this hotel. We paid about $175 - the most expensive on our vacation - for the worst room we have ever stayed in anywhere, anytime! When we arrived, there was absolutely no place to park in the parking lot so we parked near the front door to check in. We were not greeted when we walked up to the front desk and when we commented on the lack of parking, instead of an apology, we got an excuse, "There are more than enough spaces for our guests, but sometimes people bring two cars and we don't have any control over that." We finally found a space adjacent to the main parking lot - which may or may not have been on the hotel propery. All the views in pictures of the hotel look nice, but we had a terrible room on the side with a partial beach view. The room smelled oily - like an elevator shaft - but we weren't near the elevator. The high-speed Internet crawled like a snail (we didn't have this problem at any other hotel we stayed at). The bed was so soft, you sunk into it at an unnatural angle and we woke up with sore backs and necks. The bathroom door collided with the toilet and blocked the shower and the hair dryer in the bathroom did not work. There were other problems too which I have blocked out of my brain. We were again treated rudely at checkout. As when we checked in, the clerk did not say a word to us until we told her we wanted to check out. Plus the computers were down and we were told we would be mailed our invoice/receipt. It's been two months and we still haven't got it. I complained three times to Best Western's home office asking for our money back. When I said I would write a bad review of this hotel on the Internet, they coughed up a $100 gift card. Still ticked off about the whole experience, I am writing it anyway!!! Don't stay at this hotel. The whole staff should be fired and it should be closed down. It certainly wasn't worth $175. Stay at a Motel 6, you'll have a better time!!!
