We were in the Santa Monica area visiting our son and his financee for the purpose of meeting his future in-laws.
We chose the Days Inn for it's location & it's price. We have no complaints about this; however, our room & the motel amenities were not acceptable. We could have been in a Motel 6 for that matter.
The room was very small with pidgeons outside our window. The hotel cleverly put up spikes to ward off the pidgeons on the outside ledge. They however, just found another location to rest.
The air-conditioner was noisy. The television picked up only 5 channels even though the amenities stated satalite tv.
There was an open closet for clothes underneath of which was a broken bathroom scale. The wallpaper was beginning to come off the wall. The ceiling had huge water stains.
As for their gym, it consisted of 4 stationary exercise equipment pieces siituated to the left of the elevator, off from the hallway. Certainly, not what we expected. Furthermore, if anyone were to use this equipment, they would have been right outside our door.
The bathroom, although it did appear renovated, lacked absorbant towels and wash clothes. The glasses were plastic.
Needless to say, we were glad we didn't have to spend too much time in our closet, and perhaps next time we will give up location for comfort and better amenities.
