Arrived very late after a long day of travel, otherwise would not have stayed here once I saw the room. Room was low-level motor lodge level. Clean, but no frills and badly maintained. “Two queen beds” were actually double beds and rock hard, like sleeping on the floor. A/C was loud and rattles. Light in front room did not work. Backs right on to the freeway so loud traffic noise. Continental breakfast was an afterthought with everything out of stock including the coffee. The pictures and reviews on this site made it seem like a pretty decent place, can’t believe it’s the same place.
