    When I arrived at this hotel it was not like the photos looked. It’s very run down and in a very bad part of town, lots of homeless encampments and run down buildings. I booked it not knowing the area. There way no way I was staying there! I went into the lobby and asked if I could cancel my stay. The manager was very very gracious and canceled my stay and refunded my money. I really appreciated that.

    Passable

    the room was ok but it needs some improvements. It needs some cleaning from the outside. The floors from outside were dirting. They need some new furniture for the outside. Or just take it out!

    The property was disgusting. Just to open the door was a bit of a challenge. The card reader wasn’t reading our key. Once we got inside our hotel, the sheets were dirty. It smelled awful in there. The walls were really dirty. The restroom looked a mess. We asked the man at the front desk for a different hotel room. He switched us to another one just near the same, this one had a hole in the bathroom door. After that, I just asked for a refund. I highly don’t recommend staying here.

    Pleasant

    The room desperately needs some upgrades. Carpet in room was worn, looked dirty with markers stains (from a Magic Marker or a Sharpie?). Armchair in shabby condition; didn't look very clean to sit in. TV/entertainment unit looked worn, the doors were not closing all the way where the refrigerator was housed. Bathroom had dark, moldy patches in the upper corners. The fan / ventilating unit didn't appear to be doing a good job of removing condensation from shower area, attibuting to mold growth.

    The quality of the hotel and room itself was really poor. The room had broken or stained furniture and outdated fixtures. The floor felt dirty and there was sloppy caulking and repairs done to the bathroom shower and sink. Overall just not a nice stay.

    Ice machine only on 2nd floor and did not work. Breakfast very limited options and open until 10AM, but out of options at 9:30. Sitting area with wicker furniture in photos is old and not enjoyable. Right off freeway entrance and very noisy. No water for guests. Room not fully upgraded. Bed is comfortable. Basic TV. Fairly clean, could have higher standards. Light in bathroom did not work, poor vanity lighting. Overall, it served its purpose but would not stay again. For price, along with comparable other nearby options, other hotels in area are better value.

    Nothing Smell bad, hard to shower no cold water, old furniture

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was dirty, towels/pillow covers/matress all had stains, and security latch was ready to fall off

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The bathroom had a lot of moldy spots and the room had paint pealing off. We had bed bug issues on both rooms

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This place needs a remodel, it old, cheap, dirty. Upgrade!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This hotel was horrible! Every towel, face cloth, hand towel and bed sheet was stained. Black mold in the bathroom. The room smelled like it was recently smoked in with burn marks on all the tables. The carpets, all stained. The smoke alarm was wrapped in plastic. We had to ask for extra sheets to change the bed before we even slept in it. Front desk was no help. Do not stay here. By far, the worse hotel we have ever stayed at. Not to mention the illegal “activities” going on in the other rooms. Stay clear!
