bad, bad, bad

kind of have to worry about a hotel that has a sign posting the penalty for armed robbery at the entrance. A half a cup of coffee sitting in the room when we first entered after check-in. Dog droppings in a laundry room by the elevator. Walls so thin that you could hear every word being said next door. The worst "breakfast" ever - donuts, white bread and sugary cerials; except for a few pieces of fruit, no nutrition.

It suited my purpose.

The room was clean. The staff, including the front desk was helpful and the check in and check out went smoothly. I received brochures on where to have food delivered to my room. The only drawback is that the eateries were kind of distant from the hotel if I felt like eating out. Other than that, I was satisfied with the acommodations.

Time-saving tip: Short drive from hotel

Have the hotel close by to the airport particularly after a long flight. Fortunately, my hotel was very close to the airport and right off the freeway.

Show of Shows Reservation

Check in went fine. The staff was pleasant and helpful. I had a room on the first floor a mere few steps from the lobby. The room was clean and had all the usual amenities. I found out that night my room backed up to the mini dining area and at 0500 the tv was turned on and a steady chorus of banging noises kept me awake. The bed was VERY comfortable and made watching the 10 channels of tv pleasant. The breakfast was a huge disappointment with what seemed like stale bread,

Great Location

The location is what really makes this hotel stand out. Nothing special just a perfect place for a one nighter. Staff was friendly place seemed clean. The hot water in the shower could have been hotter for longer. I would stay there again for the price.

Clean, but seemed to be in the middle of remodel

Our room was clean, but seemed to be in the middle of remodel. Drywall needed a better "patch", the light switches moved, horrible pink paint in the bathroom. Our "shuttle" from and to the airport was great--a very , very nice young man. He picked us up at 12:30 a.m. and took us back at 5:15 a.m. the same morning! He even had the coffee and donuts ready for us before we left!

Good travel accomodations

The hotel was clean, the bed excellent and shower refreshing. The room decor a little tired, but, for the price an excellent value.

Quick Business Trip

Very good value. Functional, not fancy. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Early morning airport takeoff noise was significant. Breakfast was skimpy. No complaints.
