There was no hot water and I was told I was given a discount on my room rate. I was told the rate was dropped to $99 and I see the charge on my account posted for the original amount. I would like to have the rate adjusted to what was quoted to me onsite.

Nice front desk, condition not so much

Their system was down, no room key can be issued. Front desk lady had to open the door for us, we will have to keep it unlocked while going back to luggage. Room had a weird smell, they tried to cover it with spray but still pretty strong. Front desk lady was very nice though. The area not so much, had random homeless people hanging around parking lot in their car.. I guess that’s why you can see cameras everywhere. At least they tried.

none of the doors open from the outside, after being told to find a place to park near the room and then bring all your things to the front door. The TV didn't work, I was offered to switch rooms when I discovered at 9pm, but it was too late. There is no coffee/ food service on site, just coffee in the room; the kitchen is "under renovation" But the real problem here is the obvious drug trafficking and drug use on site. I saw at least one deal happening, and there were multiple people passed out in cars in the parking lot after getting high. It was blatant and so in the open I can only imagine that it was a known problem. I appreciate that there are drugs and users everywhere, but I was shocked. I would avoid this hotel, and I will never be going back.

We checked in in the afternoon and immediately left. When we returned for the night at approximately 9:30 PM, we found by the bathroom was dirty. The shower had trash in it and was completely unusable. There were feces on the bathroom wall in multiple places. Upon checkout, I informed the front desk agent that the bathroom had not been cleaned. I did not go into details as I never intend to stay at this hotel again.

Terry was great! Very helpful and informative. Any negative feedback has nothing to do with him. Room 109. Terry was great to hand deliver our key when someone else had the one device to make keys. Took a couple hours. Odd. Pillows smelled like sour feet. Terry promptly helped fix that too. Room sink is very clogged and we had to use the bathtub to brush out towel. This is our third visit and it’s always very short staffed with thankfully nice staff because there’s a lot of stuff each time. And why is there a kitchen but it’s never up and running? So much lost revenue and inconvenience for guests.

The room was dirty and had what I assume was something dropped on the floor at one point thrown on the wall. The carpets were filthy all over the hotel and appeared to have not been cleaned in years. The photographs on your website didn’t mirror the property at all and it was very disappointing. Finally there was rarely someone at the front desk and when there was they weren’t in a uniform and didn’t look to work there.

I always book hotels that have a complementary breakfast. When I checked in, aside from not being able to understand what the attendant was saying, I was told that breakfast was no longer an option as they were undergoing renovations . There were no renovations to be seen It would be nice that I knew in advance that breakfast was not an option as I would never have stayed this hotel.. I was told to move my car to behind the hotel for easier access to my hotel room. When I moved my car, my room key did not operate the outside entrances. I had to then schlep all of my luggage to the front of the hotel and use the main entrance. When I brought this to the attention of the check-in attendant, I was told that there was nothing he could do as the keys were made in advance, and they couldn't do anything about it. So, using external doors was fine if you wanted to leave, but you had to come back in the main entrance. Ridiculously inconvenient. I don't think the hotel was super clean, but it wasn't terribly unbearable. The beds were very comfortable. However, the water in the tub did not drain efficiently. And I firmly believe that the hotel was understaffed. There was one person working behind the desk. And he actually had to leave his post to go help another guest to get into her room as her room key was not working similar to me. He was very friendly however you could tell that he was doing more than one job with minimal help I will never stay at this hotel again.

You get what you pay for! I selected this hotel because of the location and the price. The location was great, near shopping, restaurants and the highway. The hotel common areas furniture and carpeting were dirty, dingy and worn. I had to return to the reception desk multiple times and had to move my room twice before I got settled in a functioning room. The first room the television wasn't working, the second room door key did not open the door (a problem that I heard two other guests complain about) and the third room did not have an iron! I was in a last-minute pinch so it was O, K, but I would not go back there
