1. You could hear people walking back and forth (sounded like constant stomping from above), every word, every click and tap, toilets being flushed sounded like you were next to a waterfall and it was soooo loud that I had about the worst sleeps in my life.

9. Having paid over $250 and this being the most expensive and worst experience of our tour of the PCH, I asked to change room (we had pre-paid or we would have left the hotel/motel).

10. People are leaving the motel at 7am and you will hear rollers on large bags and people conversing loudly from very early on (this is worst in room 167, which we were in).
