The carpet in the hall was pretty dirty. I thought it wasn’t as bad in the room but we threw our dirty clothes on the floor and gathered up in a bag the next morning. When we dumped it out to launder it we discovered cockroaches in it.

You get what you pay for
Well you get what you pay for, I was hopeful when I saw the reviews saying it was a 7 out of 10 but unfortunately it more of a 5.5-6 only bc of how old and crusty everything is, they keep it as clean as you can keep a place in this condition. I slept well and ate a decent continental breakfast. The gym is actually really good, given it had an actual weight machine rather than the typical bike treadmill and maybe a few dumbbells setup. Overall if you’re only there for a night and on a budget it’s good, but other than that it could use a serious renovation.

This was a rundown and old facility. However, the staff has done their best to keep it clean and safe. While there were water stains on the floor and ceiling and the rugs needed replacing, the room itself was clean, the staff was friendly, and the swimming pool was great! a good price for the value, but definitely not a modern hotel.

Place is quite literally a dump. I expected to wake up to cockroaches. If I could sleep with the freeway noise. Motel 6 would have been an upgrade. Carpet is coming up or has runs in it. At least the bed seemed somewhat newer. Having two sinks, one outside the bathroom, was convenient. Breakfast offerings were miniscule and abysmal. Only good thing about the place is the indoor pool.

Staff are amazing, very knowledgeable and kind. The hotel seems a bit run down, very loud with freeway right next to it, and our air conditioner didn’t work very well. The pool and hot tub were open which was perfect, and breakfast was good.

Customer service was good, parking is a bit cramped. Our stay was pretty good cant complain. Room was pretty clean. Basic breakfast, waffles stole the show. For what we paid we didnt expect luxury so we'd book here again. Did have one issue where our room key was only for a day when we booked for multiple, was taken care of fairly quick.
