Couple of weeks back I decided to try SS El Segundo for a Friday night to get the bonus points.
It was around 11:30PM when I arrived and drive around the property. I am not big fan of motels that have outside corridors as this one. I had to use the doorbell to get inside the lobby.
When checking in I was requested to sign a NO PARTY WAIVER. I refused and the guy called his manager who was off duty. By that time I saw some other guests at this location with whom I felt incompatible with and just asked the guy to cancel the reservation. Then I was on my way to the nearby HGI.
No more SS's for me.
