Pacific Motor Inn

Location to downtown and restaurants. The hotel is just outside of the busy foot traffic of downtown but within walking distance to a variety of restaurants and entertainment spots. There is even an Asian market about a 2-minute walk from the hotel.

The hotel is going through a renovation and this was not communicated BEFORE booking. I only book hotels with an on-site gym in which this hotel is listed as having one available with photos of an impressive on-site gym posted. However, after booking a non-refundable week's stay, I was informed that the gym was closed due to the hotel going through the previously mentioned renovation. I ended up stuck in a hotel room for a week (unless I wanted to donate $985.00 to the hotel) and had to pay $45.00 for a weekly pass at the closest gym near the hotel. When I mentioned this to the manager on duty the only thing I received was a dry, "my apologizes". Also, the hotel has Comcast Business for their internet/television service and literally all but 4 channels were out for the entire week. You're either going to get audio-only, a choppy video, or the message "weak signal or no signal". This was extremely frustrating considering I had to deal with this for an entire week with zero resolve.

Prices/facilities comparable to Motel 6. Perfectly adequate for my needs (sleep + base of operations). I actually stayed several days on three occasions over 2-3 week period. Many restaurants within walking distance.

I was working on railroad midnight to 6am so missed morning coffee/rolls in reception area each day. No coffee/snack machine on site and nearby coffee shop (not cafe) at end of block closes mid/late afternoon. There was a soda vending machine. I stayed in three different rooms on three occasions and toilet paper holders were loose or falling off the walls in all three. I finally fixed one myself. Radio on bedside stand barely audible throughout room (but I have poor hearing).
