We arrived a bit early but were allowed to check-in early. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is a little older but priced accordingly. The location was very convenient. We would definitely stay here again!

There was no “coffee available in common areas”; the floors, bed and tub were very aged, and the blow dryer didn’t work. Our own fault for not realizing the noise level so close to the freeway entrance.

Property was nice enough. There were some sketchy guys hanging out in the parking lot day and night all hours, not always the same guys for the three days we were there. Nothing that I know of happened just seemed sketchy.

Well when i turned the A/C on it smelled like bad urine, when i took a shower the water does not drain at all till 5 minutes after i turn off the water, so there was like 6inches of water the whole time. The carpet by the door that goes to the patio is all coming undone this place has damage on the cieling in the bathroom, it drastically needs a repaint colors are from the 1970 there.
