Pleasanton Hotels with Bars

We stayed for two nights in a first floor room. We picked the motel as they accepted dogs ($75/night for a dog). They also charged a $150 deposit that you don't get back without a delay. We were not satisfied. We stayed in room #105. It had a bad odor from the floors, sink and bathroom. There were only enough towels for one person and only one bar of soap. There was no blanket on the bed...only a bedspread that was synthetic and too hot and a sheet. The room was obviously old and had a bad odor. The bed was comfortable but small. We requested a blanket and were given one with a large stain in the middle so we had to have another provided. There were no amenities such as you usually find in other motels. The soap provided was in dispensers on the wall in the shower (all were either empty or almost so) which made washing anywhere but in the shower difficult. They advertised morning breakfast. We found primarily cold cereal, bagels that had to be heated and not much else...certainly not what we expected. We were provided with only one roll of toilet paper and had to go to the front desk to get another. The front desk does not answer the phone at night as it's always busy. The alley behind our room was busy with cars and people most of the night and is the entrance and exit for a fast food place adjacent to the motel. The hallway smelled of dog urine near our door. The lobby looks nice but if the room we were in is an example of other rooms, they do not reflect what you see when you walk into the lobby. Two nights in a row, we had people throwing balls for their dogs right at our bedroom window...at midnight...causing our dog to begin barking. I'm typing this just after arriving home after our visit. I would not recommend this motel at all.

There were 2 things I loved about this hotel - the lightbulbs were actually nice and bright - you did not feel like you were trying to find your way around a sleezy bar or a cave; and the temperature of the room was perfect. What I didnt like was the dirty cigarettes butts all around the doors - on this non smoking property - near but not in the ashtrays. Paying for parking - outside your room just like in a typical motel - no parking pass or identification - no special accomodations for the parking which might have justified a parking charge No amenities open at all. Check in was quick and painless - but not even a map to find your room (once you found it, it was self explanatory, but a little confusing in the beginning) or any type of information about places in the area to eat or visit - and no food on premises

This property is generally clean and well kept, Staff are friendly and rooms of course are clean and spacious. I did have a few issues during my stay. My TV in the room was not connected to any cable and could not watch TV.. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Morning breakfast was decent ( pretty much like every other chain) There was a horrible smell when you walked into the property between the two sets of doors leading into the property. Pool and jacuzzi were heated well and clean. Pricing changed during my stay which I can't stand, but such is the industry.... All in all, a decent property. Would I stay here again?.....Maybe
