The space was great. They took two rooms and made it into one. Living room on one side a powder room with a sink in one bathroom, the other bathroom was the toilet and shower. The cleanliness was what lacked the most. I don’t think the floor hadn’t been cleaned for many visits. It was covered with debris and dirt and funky stuff. I wore my flip flops even in the shower. The curtain in the bathroom didn’t reach the floor to keep the water inside the shower so everytime we showered the bathroom floor flooded as you can see the mold around the shower and the baseboard swelled up with water as well. This would be a great space if it were maintained. Seems as if the staff was lacking as I asked for an extra blanket and was told they didn’t have any. Housekeeping came around and wanted to clean but we were still there so no problem but when I asked for clean towels from using ours to keep the bathroom from flooding, we got told they only have one and no others were offered or checked into to see if we could get another one for my partner. A/C went out the first night we were there. The front office lady was apologetic when she heard said it was unacceptable. She was the one who accommodated us and made it not so bad. Plenty of free parking. Over all okay….. could have been better.

Clean room, friendly, Staff. But there was homeless people around the Carl’s Jr. right across from my room. They require $100 deposit aside from your room rate. . Did not complete our stay as we left the next day, and we did not get a refund. Also The room smelled bad.

Fair warning for those that choose to stay here. For starters, the staff was very nice BUT there was a foul odor that hit us as soon as we walked into the room, as if the room hadn’t seen fresh air in a decade. The courtyard shared a resemblance to the prison in the Walking Dead, very desolate and eerie. Within the same parking lot, there was a Carl’s Jr. constantly surrounded by a homeless encampment. Hoping others take this into account before their stay. We did not complete our stay and even with not being able to be refunded, we chose to book elsewhere.

Avoid if possible!! Check in was smooth but when we got to our assigned room, the deadbolt was locked and we could not gain access. We went back to the front desk where they reprogrammed the key. Our second attempt at gaining access to the room was unsuccessful, again. This time, an employee met us at the room. When they attempted to open the room, the security latch on the inside prevented us from being able to open the door and the employee got on her radio where we overheard her say “someone is in the room and it smells like Fentanyl”. We decided to get a refund and leave as it did not seem like a safe place to stay. The front desk employee was helpful with the refund and they didn’t seem surprised about our experience here.
