Room was near the highway, noisy, no so clear. Dated room, the cleaning workers were nice and friendly. The elevator broke down two times while I was there also on the dungeon floor I stayed at there’s no way to take a stairway exit up to it from ground level overall it’s a old dated hotel with limited customer service unless you wanna pay for mediocre breakfast or mediocre dinner don’t recommend

I liked how the staff was very friendly, the breakfast was great and everything was clean. A few downsides include - our room and some of the common areas needed a refresh - stains and scratches on furniture, chipped paint and the doorstop and elevator up/down button needed fixing. Our bed was creaky. The person at the front desk was friendly but didn't give us breakfast coupons or other information and didn't tell us about the wifi. Our room was very close to the freeway and the windows didn't sufficiently mask the noise.

I stay here 1 night a week for work/business. Cleanliness of bathroom, room overall is 5 stars. The sheets are clean, no stains, towels also clean, no stains. The AC vents I have noticed lately are also clean where previously they've been dusty and I have had to wipe these down myself. This has been my most recent experience in the rooms I have been given. The rooms are carpeted, and also stain free. I have noticed that the carpets in the hallways have been shampooed and vacuumed. My overall rating is 4 stars as there is some wear and tear noted on the furnishings in the rooms, the doors, and desk chairs, but everything is still functional. Sometimes there's self-serve coffee in the room and sometimes not. Sometimes there is a desk lamp, and sometimes not. The Wifi works, but signal strength is weak at times, so I find it is helpful to bring a portable wireless router (especially needed for work). It is generally safe. It is close to freeway 101 and it is helpful to bring disposable earplugs in case your room faces the freeway. The pool and hot tub is well maintained, even though I don't use these amenities. There is a gym on the first floor, and I have used the treadmill there only once as it is not well lit or aesthetic. There is no view, and it is set away from the main thoroughfare. The equipment is functional.

Beautiful pool, good size, Jacuzzi, fast check in, no charge for service animals, easy coffee service from 6am-11am. Rooms facing west get very hot on hot days, recommend South or east facing rooms. Ground floor rooms with patios offer greater privacy and easy access to lobby and pool. Non-intrusive smoking areas located for convenience without negative impact for nonsmokers. Pool area also has substantial outside seating with both tables and chairs as well as cushioned comfort seating, outdoor fireplace and lots of ambience. Breakfast looked great with lots of variety but way out of our budget at $25 a person. Friendly, efficient service. Christina at the front desk checked us in on less than 10 minutes, very hospitable and professional. Welcome cookies a very nice touch. No problem with our service dog. That said, we always bring sheets from home to protect the hotel bed linens. Huge TV.
