I appreciate that they informed me about that the rooms doesn’t have A/C. The bed had wells and doesn’t stay firm in one place. Bathroom window had the windows bars broken (looks like someone tried to get in in the pass)

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!

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 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.

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.
