The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday in the noon hour.
QUESTION: If you had a relative come stay the night, and they had to stay in a hotel/motel, where would you send them, and which one would you tell them to stay away from?
Talk about it….
Oh, … Following, …need to know for visitor who come to visit from out of town.
Our house is not set up for guest, … really don’t like using the queen air bed in Livingroom thing.
Probably the Hilton because it’s the only hotel in town I’m familiar with. A couple of years
ago, we went to a New Year’s Eve party at the Hilton, and stayed the night. It was a fun
night and everybody had a good time. Included at no extra cost was the suite, dinner with
live music and dancing, and in the morning breakfast was served. The suite was spacious
and clean, the staff treated us well, and the food was good.
I don’t know which ones to stay away from, so I’d just tell them to stay away from the motels, because so many of them look sleazy. If they can’t afford the extra cost of the Hilton, I’d be more than happy to chip in a few extra bucks because I would want them to be comfortable and enjoy themselves.
I’d definitely avoid the motel- no tell next to Chili’s on Concord Ave. Drug and crime haven.
Including probably scabies, bed bugs, bad bacteria.
There’s also the earthquake fault running through their parking lot – not safe at all.
You mean the Tweeker Motel. Per the PD and SO if you wanted drugs that was the place to go

Can anybody recommend a place with hourly rates?
Well….. no matter. Nothing is cheaper than the parking meter or the far corner of a parking garage. See why those dark tinted windows are so popular?
I was just down for a memorial service in Martinez and stayed the Muir Inn on Alhamabra. It’s the 1950’s style establishment with pool in front. I was clean, room was nice, walk in shower, staff was friendly and had a decent price for a last minute (2 days in advance). When I was younger the Shell would house temp plumbers, steamfitters, electricians etc that came from out of the are for 6-8 weeks there, There were some great BBQ’s there back in the day.
Another decent fare price is the Best Western John Muir Inn across from Nob Hill and the theater. Again clean, staff is nice etc Others that came for the memorial stayed there were please with the accommodations
Stay away from any Claycord hotel or motel that is under $200 a night. The cheaper hotels & motels are all drug drops or stanky.
