I recently stayed at this hotel and had a very pleasant experience overall. The property is clean and well-maintained, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The location is also incredibly convenient, making it easy to access nearby attractions and transportation. The only downside was the noise from the main road, which could be a bit disruptive at times. However, it didn’t overshadow the positives of my stay. If you’re looking for a clean, well-located hotel with great service, this is an excellent choice. Just bring some earplugs if you’re sensitive to noise!

It was a motel and very close to freeway. Shame on us we didn’t check that on the website. There are some dubious characters living at the rear of the hotel and at one point saw a rather unpleasant looking girl walk from her room to the dumpster with a jacket and no panties! And it smelled awful in the area of their room. I think they may be permanent residents and probably down on their luck. We moved the car as it felt unsafe back there.

I paid nearly $360 for two nights, expecting a certain standard for that price, but unfortunately, it was far from acceptable. The walls were paper-thin—you could hear everything from the neighboring rooms. Housekeeping never cleaned the room during our stay. When we first entered, it seemed clean, but upon closer inspection, the sheets were stained, and so was the carpet. Honestly, this place should be called a motel and priced at $30 per night.

When my wife and I entered our room. We perceived a foul smell. Something in between humid and foot odor. We figured out it was the carpet in between the beds. It was really old and dirty. We requested a room change after being there for 5 minutes and we were told it was all booked, and they brought a room freshener. But it didn’t change anything. Plus there was hair in the bathtub. It’s ok to have an old property but it should be to a high cleaning standard.
