The air conditioner made noise when it was on. Also, the room faced Highway 5 and was very close to it, so it was very noisy with traffic. I thought it would be difficult for me to sleep at night. I asked the front desk to change the room, but the staff told me that all the rooms had the same noise issue and they couldn’t exchange the room for us.

Room floor is filthy, my white socks turned black I’m not even kidding. The AC is abnormally loud, every time it turns on it sounds like a bomb that about to explode, waking up my kids, I just turned it off. Do yourself a favor, stop being cheap like me and just book a nicer hotel. Never again!

I love this property and the staff! Since there’s a 21 day stay at this particular property, we either pay cash for a couple nights and stay or go to different motel for a couple of nights and return. Almost all motels/hotels have a 28 day stay (makes no sense to me).

Stayed multiple times in the last year and just got past the problems (even gave them 5 star at one point) but in an emergency they would not help by giving a ONE night parking pass to my husband who drove 150 miles when my car died. No exceptions and NO concern. I’ve stayed here like 7 times in the past year just gone with the fun funkiness- but I have no patience for the lack of customer care and help I got dealing with a broken down car and a small child. I’ll go somewhere else that’s cheaper if I’m going for lack of customer service. Didn’t get into it before because they had seemed nice but the place is a disaster. I can feel the unevenness of the floor in the rooms on the 2nd floor like it’s going to fall through at some point, and the amount of trash that is outside everywhere is unreal. I could go on and on. Again- I’ve overlooked and ignored all these things for the past year because it wasn’t so bad all and all- but the general “we don’t care” about something as simple as giving us a one night additional parking pass just seems ridiculous- I can be ridiculous about little things too. Upshot is it’s acceptable if you ONLY need to put your head down somewhere for a night. If you think might need ANYTHING else go somewhere else. I will be and I’ll let you know where that is.

Place is filthy and you hear nothing but freeway noise. Management is unkind even with emergency situations.
