Americas Best Value Inn-Seaside North

I stayed there with my daughter and her 2 friends for a vacation. The owner/manager appeared to take a dislike to us on the 2nd day. Knocked on our door MULTIPLE times in the 3 nights we stayed. Insisted we get 'room service' but meant we needed to let them in to clean. Teens don't wake up at 8am. Sorry. He acted like we were throwing a party and doing illegal things and they needed to inspect. We also forgot jackets one day, came back, and didn't park perfectly, though 3 of the 4 of us stayed in the car. He came over to insist we fix our parking. I explained we were literally running in, but he just stood there and just stared hard at us with an extremely grumpy look until we left. -Bathroom has no exhaust fan - mold on the ceiling -Shower curtain sticks to your body - see no exhaust fan -Water literally runs down the wall in the bathroom when you shower it's SO humid in there - see no exhaust fan. -Corner behind bathroom door is visibly dirty, with rust dripping down the door frame as well. -Bedroom floor has a sag in the middle, lino is squishy there and obviously broken. -Wall under the window is squishy and visibly badly repaired. -If microwave is plugged in, the outlet has to be reset. -Room windows get condensation on them overnight. -3 towels even though I booked for 4 people -Mattresses are HARD AS A ROCK, and hotel beds are usually too soft. -Bed frame is metal, and I don't mean hard metal, I mean filing cabinet, oops I banged my toe and the whole hotel heard metal. -Parking is TIGHT. Doable if you are in a small car, park on the street if you aren't a compact. Overall, I could have just dealt with the room, but the RUDE/NOSY owner/manager pushed the experience into UGH. I wish I had spent just 10 more dollars a night for a better experience. -

I wanted to like it, or at least appreciate it for its value. But I would have been a lot happier paying another $30 a night for a merely mediocre place. * When I checked in, the room had its windows open, even though it was less than 60F outside. I found out why the next morning: with the windows closed, the place gradually started smelling more and more like cigarette smoke. Yes, he still has smoking rooms, and yes, he puts non-smokers in them, without asking or disclosing, even though he had a non-smoking room right next to it. Nice! * The beds. I have stayed in a lot of hotels, and mostly their beds are too soft for me, even though these days I sleep on my side. This bed was so hard I couldn’t even sleep on my back. How? It wasn’t even an old mattress! * Somehow, the road noise inside the room is LOUDER than it is outside. So loud. Totally overwhelmed my white noise generator. Even at 3 AM, which is about when I got to sleep. On the up side… it’s clean?

This hotel is CRAP, but you know what, you get what you pay for. I wasn’t in the motel at all, it was just to have a roof over my head. There isn’t breakfast. It is fine for one night! Location is right by a highway. I’m still alive, so it wasn’t that bad!
