You get what you pay for. The hot tub was not hot at all and filthy with pieces of lint floating all around. Seems like I got an infection from the water. Staff was friendly and it was nice to see rabbits running outside in front of the room window in the morning.

Dank hallways, room was kinda clean, but you can't really tell what's dirty or just damaged. Phone was unplugged. Nobody cleaned my room after my first night. Breakfast was good. I wouldn't dream of going to the pool or hot tub.

There was an unsavory character outside in the parking lot the whole visit. The place was falling apart. When we went in there was a long line and only one person working the front. Once checked in there were no towels in the room. The chair was propped up against the door to the adjacent room because the lock did not lock properly. The sliding door did not fully close and you could hear the freeway all night. And to top it all off, the card they placed the hold on has a $53 charge from them for no reason. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Given previous reviews I expected more. The economical price was definitely a reflection of the atmosphere. The fixtures are a bit dated. I had cracked tiles and the remodel removed closet doors . The glass balcony door was single pane glass. I thought it was open when I first arrived. But everything was clean in the room. Kinda rough neighborhood, there were homeless camped in their car in the lot. I think homeless also come in to eat off the free breakfast. Sad situation. I didn’t feel unsafe. The staff were excellent and accommodating. Breakfast early in the day is better than most budget friendly hotels.

We got what we paid for, so no complaints. The hot tub and pool are actually pretty good but the water does smell. There’s not enough chlorine for our liking, but still good. The room was sufficient and the prices were very good. The walls are thin, so a pair of earplugs goes a long way in my opinion. The place is apparently going to get a renovation soon, and if that’s true it would incentivize me to come and stay more. The front office staff aren’t the friendliest. They move a little slow and aren’t the most helpful, but I think their attitudes could improve after the renovation. Maybe they have limited access to resources. I would say anyone on a budget should stay here. It’s a middle of the road kind of dive hotel.

Pressure washer shower

Everything was great except the shower felt like I was being pressure washed and I couldn’t change the settings. I probably could with a wrench. This is probably just for my room but still that wasn’t too great and it was cold. Clean enough and a yummy simple breakfast.

The hotel needs to remodel its rooms. The walls are damaged, the carpet is ripped, and the ceiling is also in poor condition. Additionally, I noticed unusual individuals in the hotel's parking lot, and there was no security present. I brought this to the attention of the reception staff at the hotel.

People were yanking on the door because there are connecting room. I feel like this should be both printed. I do see it in the listing, but I just feel like it should be more awareness that the room can be shared and there is a door between you and another person because I had a person yanking on my doorat all times of the night. Disturbing my sleep, screaming at the door. You can also hear people loudly throughout the room even though it says a soundproof the pool was filthy and dirty when I tried to get in as well as a hot tub. The washer and dryer is $2.50 each if you download an app.
