All of the rooms are smoking rooms (including the ones the hotel manager claimed is nonsmoking). There were spider webs all over room, no cups for toothbrush, and the floor was dirty. I was not impressed!

The room looks nothing like what we saw and expidia website. There’s a microwave and a fridge that looks all old and beat up. All the furniture is scratched up beat up TV has a gash in the LED screen. I don’t think it was even a flat screen. The tv only has two channels.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The conditions of this place is awful. The bedding was worn and ragged. The lamp on the nightstand was broken and had no "on" or "off" button. The towel rack was broken. The bath towels were stained and worn. The furniture in the kitchenette did not match and broken. The walls in the room and bathroom were dirty and damaged. I will never make this mistake again. I thought the city of El Cerrito would offer better donditions than this.

Says non smoking but rooms(I stsyed in 2 different rooms)smell of overwhelming cigarette smoke, shower is mounted far to one side of the shower stall so can't reach all areas. The stall is also so small that you can't bend or lean over enough to wash any part accept your head and unarms.

There was no toilet paper holder . The toilet paper was simply placed of towels that were placed along the sides of the small sink. While I was washing my hands , the toilet paper fell into the sink,& the running water ended up getting the roll of toilet paper wet. We had to get a new roll of toilet paper -an inconvenience. Overall -> you get what you pay for. It's a BUDGET motel ! A drive around the block reveals nice houses w well kept lawns- I conclude the neighborhood to be safe. We ate at the Thai restaurant that's @ same parking lot as the hotel. The food tasted good, & the prices are lower than at other restaurants.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was filthy, smelled of ammonia, and had windows that would not close. When we asked for the TV remote, we were handed a remote that seemed covered in something sticky. The room on Expedia was listed as having AC, but none of their rooms have AC. When we asked for a discount, we were told there are no discounts. The front desk clerk was unable to communicate with us due to his limited English, and he was inside a barrier, like you would find at a very sketchy motel. Do NOT book at this place!
