Not ever again unless it's the last choice!

Would not stay there again. very confusing on trying to find the property because there are (2) 950 El Camino Real addresses. My GPS took me to the first 950 El Camino Real address and it was an abandoned building. I was tired and rather shocked. I called the phone number for the hotel and it went to a recorded message that said I had received a non-working number! We had drove 3 hours and was pissed! We kept driving down El Camino Real, decided to find another place to stay as I contacted my bank regarding the charge for LiA hotel, as I thought the LiA hotel didn't exist. Right about then here's we see a sign for LiA Hotel! We pull in and I explain the other '950' address, and I can hardly understand him! Something about a different zip code. Then I proceed to tell him about the discounted phone and he shows me his phone showing that I had called! I just wanted my room so we could relax and get some sleep! What a ridiculous ordeal!
