My standard for hotel or motel rooms is fairly low. I'm generally just looking for a quick place to stay for the night and be on my way early the next morning. I just want the room to be clean, have sufficient parking, and complimentary Wi-Fi. There isn't a lobby for check-in, you stand outside on the pavement while talking to someone through a drive-thru window like you a doing a bank transaction. The location is very noisy on a major road and tons of businesses nearby. There is some parallel parking in front of some room doors, and then a handful of covered parking spots. I pulled into my covered spot and at the back of the space was a large mattress with a plethora of stains on it, other random items, and debris. The room was old with a comforter that would have been stylish in the 70s, a TV smaller than my computer monitor, a TV remote that didn't work, and an air conditioning unit that sounded like a jet taking off each time it fired up. Walking into the bathroom I was greeted with 12-15 long black hairs on the floor and sink, burn marks on the tub, and a shower faucet that was detached a couple of inches off the wall. I made the mistake of taking my socks and shoes off, and when I got in the shower you could see dirt flowing off my feet into the drain from the short time I walked around the room. My purpose of staying there was for a short commute to LAX, which accomplished that (17 minute drive), but even with my low standard for a room, this motel was rough.
