We could hear a lot of noise (outside cars movement in street and people walking in halls). The place was clean, however when we came inside the room the bleach odor was too much, I feel it made the room smell weird. We were visiting family for one day, so it was convenient for the night, just not the our best experience or the most comfortable place to really rest.

Arrived very late after a long day of travel, otherwise would not have stayed here once I saw the room. Room was low-level motor lodge level. Clean, but no frills and badly maintained. “Two queen beds” were actually double beds and rock hard, like sleeping on the floor. A/C was loud and rattles. Light in front room did not work. Backs right on to the freeway so loud traffic noise. Continental breakfast was an afterthought with everything out of stock including the coffee. The pictures and reviews on this site made it seem like a pretty decent place, can’t believe it’s the same place.

The property is old and right next to a busy freeway. The front door did not securely close...gaps all around and we could not turn on the faucet in the bathroom to the shower. The staff was great and the room was generally clean, but really showing wear and tear.

My room had a water issue. Managet was proactive and called before we got there and gave us an alternative arrangement. I liked the room decor. Nice and bright. My one big negative was the electronic locks. Didn't engage/disengage at first swipe. He to play with it a little. Just a slight annoyance door did lock. Just had to work a little to get it open.
