Quality Inn King City, CA - Chandra Parmar “Most unprofessional/unclean place I've ever stayed in!” King City California

In my lifetime I have stayed at 46 different properties and I may only be in my early 30s but have NEVER experienced a hotel quite like this one in this small, but dangerous town of King City, CA. As of 2013 it shows the town’s population is 13,248 (more than half the size of my hometown that I was born and raised in) but there are 28 unsolved murders since 1999 including this year! You would be staying in the murder capitol of California in this filthy, terrible Quality Inn that I unfortunately had to stay in one night. I only found out this information after I got online. This is of course, NOT a 5 star resort but it doesn’t even match the many Choice hotels I have stayed at in other parts of the country. It’s quality alright but terrible quality.

 I was on a road trip vacation with my dad in the state and had every hotel booked in advance looked carefully upon except King City because of the questionable hotel reviews in the area. I found out that there were only 2 rooms left in this town when checking in late that night. Unfortunately there was only one room here in the Quality Inn, which was a smoking room and one at the Motel 6 (which I knew had worse reviews prior) so I took this hotel while my dad took the latter.

Basically, to sum this up as a one sentence to summarize what went wrong was this: there was dried blood on the sheets (gross!), dirty smoke burnt marked towels, changed mind on late checkout, and very rude staff with the smallest breakfast area I’ve ever been in! I was too tired to try and and argue with the man who didn’t speak good English to ask for new sheets/towels so just went to bed.

When I checked in, I presented my Triple A card and asked for a noon checkout which the man said yes to. However, the next morning I received a phone call at around 10:15 am rushing me out saying somebody wanted the room and that I had to pack my things ASAP. It was further followed by a knock on the door 15 minutes later from an old white man asking me to leave/hurry up. So they lied to me about the late checkout time! I once stayed at a hotel in Adams, WI where I asked a late shift worker for a noon checkout and he rudely said no, so the next morning I called the manager and she extended it herself (which tells you that guy lied and was too tired/rude to do the position properly). 

 At the breakfast area there was only two tables which were both full so I had to sit on a bench to eat. The man who was at the front desk in the same lobby wasn’t doing anything but staring straight ahead at everyone with no smile on his face (not managing the area or showing people how to prepare the food) so I just had plain bread and bacon leaving hungry going to Denny’s with my dad. It was quite something, usually people are talking and having a good time but nobody talked - it was very eerie.

 Also apparently this is a hotel that requires people to stay at the checkout desk while the front desk person gets a room check. None of the other properties I stayed in did this so I found this quite inconvenient. I was running late to another appointment on my vacation so I just told her I had to go.

 When I tried to resolve these issues when I got home, they were very rude to me on the phone and actually hung up on me even though I was being polite. Never had I had a hotel as unprofessional as to where the staff actually did this. I don’t think anybody should stay here and that the hotel inspector needs to condemn this place, honestly.
