Marianis Inn

Checked in at 2pm. They charged me $20 extra for coming an hour early even though I'm staying 2 days. I go all around to back of hotel, my room faces an ugly parking lot. Big bulky key that I was warned if I don't physically Bring down at checkout they will charge for it. At this point I was worried. I open the door and the room is a budget motel. Motel 6 is updated and nicer than this. Room hasn't been renovated in years for sure. I booked 2 nights but I can tell this motel won't let you out of it cause that's probably how they stay in business. I'm really kicking my butt for not doing more research. There's black around toilet on ground. There's plastic sticking out of bed under the paper thin sheet. On the plus side there's a fridge. Housekeeper was this little Asian older woman who was very friendly when I asked for extra towels.

I read the reviews and was a little worried, but was only staying 2 nights. I arrived late after meetings and really didn’t care where I slept, only that I had a bed. I was surprised to see the room as it was nice and comforting. No icky carpets and the decor was recently updated. TV needed 2 remotes, but that is what I have to deal with at home. Coffee maker and fridge was in the room. No iron or ironing board if that is important to you. If I could get this same room every time, I might have found a new place to stay on my monthly trips out to Santa Clara.

Just checked in and am regretting it already. Place is old and run down. Room is musty and have seen 2 roaches. Called front desk for a blow dryer and they “are out.” Have to go buy one now. Ridiculous.
