Don’t pick a hotel close to an In-n-out

Worse parking situation ever. And there is a In and Out Burger RIGHT next to one end, with the drive through letting out into the only available parking area. So the slobs get their food park in the hotel spots, then dump their trash in the parking lot. Not to mention the homeless encampment right next to where the cars park ( even more trash). The room was good, but make sure they don’t give you one on the first floor next to the parking lot, burger slobs partying outside your window.

Air conditioner didn’t work. Switched rooms and still didn’t work. I’d never stay at a Hampton Inn again.
