The staff was super friendly, The front desk clerk I believe his name was Travis was super cool and helpful. The property itself was an older property and it shows. Could use some updating, but that's not the staff's fault. They do a great job with what they have. Overall though its a good value and they are pet friendly which was most important to me since I was bringing my dog with me.

More minuses than plusses

Our 5 night stay was punctuated with frustratingly intermittent amenities. First let me say that the cleanliness of the room and the friendliness of the staff were very good. We were shorted wash cloths and a bath mat for several days. Very few of the electrical outlets would hold the plug so it was hard to charge electronics. The Wi-fi worked some days; others not and we had to ask for the router to be reset. The cable tv had to be disconnected/reconnected every night (except one) to get the television reception to work. Breakfast was an assortment of packaged pastries, waffles, toast, juices. There were no eggs, bacon, sausage, cereal, fruit or yogurt. Very disappointing stay, especially for the price.

the phone wire was loose so I had to hold it while calling the front desk. The room was missing an iron and tv remote. Also the bathroom was dirty. Breakfast consists of a pastry and coffee. This would be in line with a price cheaper than what I got this room for. For this room's price, an iron and tv remote control should be at least in the room and also phone should be on proper working conditions. And bathroom should at least be CLEAN.

Simply my observation

Although I prefer to leave positive comments, I will start by saying room was clean, my observation would be that rooms need renovation upkeep for that extra comfort expectation. Small mosquitos flying in room all days there was uncomfortable. Location was ideal, many restaurants around.

Usually a good stay. The only odd thing this time was there were no wash clothes. Wr had to use hand towels, which is awkward. We stayed two nights so the morning after our first night I went to the office to ask for wash clothes. We got back that afternoon and there was one. There were two of us checked into the room. Not sure if we were supposed to share. My husband had to use a hand towel again.

Arrived very late after a long day of travel, otherwise would not have stayed here once I saw the room. Room was low-level motor lodge level. Clean, but no frills and badly maintained. “Two queen beds” were actually double beds and rock hard, like sleeping on the floor. A/C was loud and rattles. Light in front room did not work. Backs right on to the freeway so loud traffic noise. Continental breakfast was an afterthought with everything out of stock including the coffee. The pictures and reviews on this site made it seem like a pretty decent place, can’t believe it’s the same place.

Meh.

The location was convenient. The staff were helpful and courteous. The room was worn out and the plumbing was sketchy. We had our dog with us, so maybe they give less than ideal rooms to pet guests with pets.
