Hotel hallways smelled like pot, and common areas were a little run down. But the room was clean, and it didn’t have the same pot smell. For a lower price point, it was as expected.

So the staff were friendly and helpful, parking was good. Can definitely see the wear on the room. The location is right off the freeway but a bunch of the local restaurants that said were opened on Google Maps were permanently closed so i was a but disappointed. My biggest issue is that my room key card kept just not working. I had to go down to the desk multiple times to fix it.
