Robert Mark

Disliked: Amenities
Extremely basic room. It did not have a microwave or a coffee machine and no coffee was available in the lobby. The room also did not have hangers to hang up my clothes and when I asked for some at the front desk, I was told that they didn’t have any. The water in the shower was hot but very low pressure but the sink had no hot water. The bed was comfortable and the a/c worked fine.

I felt like i was sleeping in the middle of the freeway. It would have been quieter in my car. The floor looked questionable to walk on barefoot. Bed was firm. Bring your own sheets and blankets. No phone or microwave. And please remove the tagging and graffiti on the walls

The bathroom tub was a bit stained. There were a significant amount of roaches that came out. The mini refrigerator was dirty as well. I think if you focused on this a bit more you could be a much more successful Inn.

And make sure you don’t book ride wrong date accidentally. I tried booking a room last minute and did not realize it was for next day check in so when I got there I tried to explain that I had just booked it before I got there but the person was rude and no customer service and no attempt to help so I had to book again on the spot and they refused to refund the day I booked accidentally.the person told me to call Expedia so I did and tell me they’d contact the hotel since it’s up to them to issues the refund. So basically this hotel will keep your money and it’s DEFINITELY NOT WORTH what I was charged .you can fund a better hotel for a decent price don’t stay here !!

The property is right next to McDonald's and 711. The 7 runs right in front of the property so if you need to get around town, there's the bus. The staff is always so kind to me and housekeeping is on point with their tasks. I love it here
