There are no vents over the private tub or in the shower. So if you like hot water be prepared to have the whole unit extremely humid. Bedsheets were stained and don’t wear any lighter color socks because the floor will get them dirty pretty quick. Other than those issues no complaints.

What I like was the price. Plus You can see improvement, the building seems outdated from the outside, but once you go inside, you can tell they’re investing in it. They don’t have carpet they have a wooden floor modern lamps, tv, bathroom mirror… What I didn’t like was the fact that the TV doesn’t work seems like the Wi-Fi it’s poor. You can spend hours trying to see something on it. Also, when I was checking out, I look under my bed to see if there was anything that I was forgetting And I saw a lot of trash. It seems like they throw everything under the bed. I’ll try to include pictures. Room 105

Not as described on hotel.com

If you’re in dire need of a place to stay for the night and on a budget this is the place for you. If you’re in town to celebrate a loved one and have a romantic trip this is not for you. I found this place on hotel.com the pictures looked appealing with a jacuzzi, big screen tv and newer amenities. Upon arriving it looked fine at face value, entering the check in office I was overwhelmed with a strong aroma of middle eastern food smell. The smell would be nice at a restaurant, not something I care for at my place of stay. I was given my key and to my surprise the room was not as advertised, no jacuzzi’s and the room was not clean. I brought my concerns to the front desk and was left with a you get what you pay for response, not their exact response but it was heavily implied. I also brought up a mess spilt on the tv and was handed a rag, I responded with I’ll be waiting in my room for someone to come clean it. The pictures speak for themselves Pros: Budget friendly Big screen TV Modern bathroom vanity mirror Cons: Filthy room Stained furniture Non working smoke alarm Exposed wiring Mold Stacked appliances leveled with cracker box. Poorly installed furniture and fixtures Thin walls or non insulated wall

This is pretty much a decent dive. If you are ok with it , which I was and am, it’s fine. If you are expecting anything above a serviceable dive motel, go elsewhere

Shorty stay

The room was dirty. Old linen. Moldy shower curtain. The bed was comfortable but no mattress cover on it. The bench in the room was badly stained and had crumbs on it.There was food and a dried up contact on the counter. The floor was dirty. drink rings on the night stands. I don't usually leave reveiws, but this room was pretty gross.

I have stayed at this property several times. It’s easy to get to. It’s quiet and clean. There’s places close by to eat, a Safeway is just down the street along with several other stores. The only thing I will say is lacking is an ice machine. Even if you have to get it from the front desk. I usually have to go somewhere and get a small bag
