Our room had bugs, washroom smelled like sewage, hair and debris around edges of bed, counter tops were damaged and repaired with scotch tape and was noisy. Wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Very noisy as it’s right on highway 97. The pool was a nice touch but I only saw cleaning one day out of four that I was there! On my second day I developed a bacteria infection, could be from anything, but the coincidence seems strange! There was an old blood stain on the bedspread. No coffee maker in the room. No coffee in the main lobby. The dish towel looked like a torn rag. The bath matt looked a torn rag. The light fixture in the bathroom was full of dead flies. There was a squished mosquito on the bathroom wall. One of the stove elements was full of previous guests spills! The bath exhaust fan looked like it was ready to fall down. The hosts seemed nice but a little more attention to details and cleanliness would’ve gone a long way, in my opinion! I don’t plan to stay here again. Sorry.
Dish towel or rag?!?
