Motel 6 Yreka

I paid extra for a “deluxe“ room that should’ve had a frig and microwave, but this room had neither. Also, the room was filthy. When I pulled down the bedspread, I found multiple strands of hair in the bed, which were not my own because I’d only been in the room for a couple of minutes and hadn’t even sat on the bed yet. There was something black and sticky smeared all over the nightstand which were not stains because I was able to scrub it off using an alcohol wipe. This made me wonder if anything else in the room (light switches, TV remote, doorknobs, faucets, etc) had been wiped down and sanitized, which is a major concern during this pandemic. I spent about 30 minutes wiping down a room that the motel staff should’ve cleaned before I checked in, but obviously didn’t. The boxsprings had dark stains all over it that looked like blood. I stepped out for a minute to move my car, and when I returned there was a strange man trying to get into my room. He claimed it was his room and that all his stuff was inside. I called the front desk after he left and they explained that the room was, indeed, his, and they had mistakenly removed his stuff and given the room to me thinking that he was ready to check out. As a woman traveling alone, this made me feel very unsafe. I couldn’t be sure that the card key he had in his possession still worked for the room. That, along with the fact that I was sleeping in a bed I was sure hadn’t gotten clean sheets, and there was a car just outside my room with people sitting in it with the music blaring all night long, made it impossible to get any sleep.
