My three days in El Cajon
I traveled all week for work and stayed in a different hotel every night from Tuesday the 6th through Thursday the 8th arriving at the Hampton Inn and Suites on Thursday evening. I booked a king but not a suite. That night I had to change to a room with two queens as the room they gave me had ants around the bed. The double queen they changed me to had a mysterious chunky stain on the window shade and both sliding door panels for the shower would stay shut leaving me to have to shut the bathroom door so I wouldn’t freeze and also leaving the floor alarmingly wet. Thankfully, I was able to change the next day from the double queen and was upgraded to a suite which was really nice. The only problem with the suite is that one of the shades didn’t work at all and so wouldn’t close. I befriended a fellow guest who came to my room and actually fixed it as there wasn’t going to be any maintenance available until the morning. The hotel needs attention, badly. The staff are amazing though, they weee incredibly accommodating, empathetic to my issues and willing to make it right to the best of their ability. Also, my view was a homeless encampment and we had a homeless person threaten us with a wrench while we sat at the bonfire pit.
