Rodeway Inn Monterey Near Fairgrounds

I just checked into this motel after a long and tiring day of driving and it will definitely be my last. Upon checking in, I was polite and friendly as I can be. Youre not allowed to enter the office but you have to go around the corner to a dirty, somewhat sketchy window with plexi glass. I rang the bell for service and a young woman appeared, she had an expression on her face as if I was interrupting something. I told her I was checking in and she rolled her eyes and walked away and came back a moment later and said in a sharp tone, I need to see your credit card and your id. I slipped both cards through the window and she was gone for nearly ten minutes, just leaving me hanging outside standing in front of the window. She finally returns with a form I needed to sign. She said she needed two initials, a signature and my license plate number in which she just hand drew a line for me to put my license number. I accidentally put my license number where I was supposed to sign and as I was writing she literally snapped at me in a very rude, annoyed tone, NO! YOUR SIGNATURE GOES THERE! I was so put off and pissed by her attitude after this that I crossed the license number out and signed my name and slipped the form under the cracked window. She looked so annoyed and just handed me my room keys and told me my room number. No thank you, no enjoy your stay, no sorry to keep you waiting, just super rude unprofessionalism. As I walked away some man then came out of the office and stood there and watched me as I unloaded my car, it was very creepy and unsettling. Needless to say, out of all the hotels Ive stayed at in Monterey over the last ten years, this one was terrible largely due to how nasty the staff are. It may be affordable but believe me its not worth it. As a paying customer, people deserve far more courtesy and respect than that. In addition, the walls are paper thin, I heard a couple verbally fighting in the room next to me and the guests above me were stomping so loud when they walked that you could hear their every step above my head while trying to sleep. Also, tons of hair was found in my bathroom. FYI there is NO BREAKFAST! Dont let the website amenities fool you, theres a note stating its restricted at the plexiglass window haha. For such dump of a motel, there sure is a lot of rigid rules. In my closing, Ill never return here again, I suggest going down the street to the fireplace inn or another place that actually appreciate your business and make you feel welcome to be there. Do better Rodeway Inn.
