    Not handicap accessible. Bathroom was way to small, couldn't close the door if you were sitting on the stool. I couldn't take a shower the whole week we were there, because there was no shower chair. Supposed to be handicap room. The pool, was open, but could not be accessed by a wheelchair whatsoever. Hotel housed a bunch of houseless people.

    Location was great. They had a pool that was open. They had coffee in the lobby in the morning.

    The bathroom wasn't very clean. With no carpet on the sparsely furnished bedroom floor, all the dirt stuck to my bare feet. There was no shampoo in the bathroom, we had to request it at the front desk. The bed was rather uncomfortable - there was a giant "valley" in the middle that my husband and I kept rolling toward.

    Check-in was quick, staff were attentive. I was impressed with the pool, although we did not have a chance to use it. Location is easy to find, right next to freeway exit/entrance. It shares a building with a longer-term stay hotel (opposite end of the building).

    The bed is so uncomfortable, I saw a cockroach in the bathroom, I only saw one but disgusting. The toilet was super weird, you had to hold the handle down the whole time to flush and the seat was broken.

    The staff was nice, and there was a good sized fridge and the room was a nice size

    The room had a urine odor to it, and not dog urine. The bathroom (toilet/ shower) was very small and the shower curtain smelled sour. The entry to the bathroom was broken. The building is not secure. The outer entrance closest to our room was not locked, anyone could come in off the street. It felt more like a place where anyone, who can not find another place to live, stay for extended periods. There was a lot of dog feces in the back of the hotel where the “dog run” is supposed to be. Bags and disposals were available at the front entrances but irresponsible owners don’t seem to use them.

    Our room had laminate flooring, not carpet. It was in a good location with restaurants & stores located within a mile. No pet fees.

    Beds uncomfortable, sticky floors, fan in bathroom didn’t work, no kleenex, loud guests until 12am- hall door at end of hallway closed very loud. Our rooms were not ready when we arrived at 4pm to check in. Had to give us a substitute accommodation.

    I didn't have to sleep in my car. There was a lock on the door. Check out was very easy.

    There was a bad smell throughout the halls and the carpets were stained pretty bad. Definitely loud through the night.

    The hotel was good for price we paid and the staff was friendly from check in to check out. The actual room we stayed in and the lobby were clean. Plenty of towels in the bathroom.

    The bed was comfortable and clean. The room could use some further cosmetic repair and painting.

    we had a handicap room I would expect a walk in shower or a least a low step tub there wasn’t even a shower chair. There was microwave but no coffee maker. When I ask for a first floor room so we didn’t have to deal with stairs or an elevator I didn’t realize the first floor was the lower level. The furniture in the old old and falling apart. the blanket on king size bed barely cover the bed.

    not much

    the room had problems. the bathroom had mold on the shower walls, the shower toggle was missing, the bathroom door was damaged in atleast 2 places. the tub backed up and held water for a long time (without the drain toggle being active), and the internet was spotty at best, and the safety lock on the main door was broken. also, the rooms and hallways smelled of cannabis. on check out i asked if there was a price reduction available because of the condition of the room, and they said no. there was no apology of any kind and they didn't offer to move me to a different room. i paid 200$ for 2 nights: friday, saturday nights, 1 adult.

    i just spent the weekend there. i asked for a room removed from other guests, which they did i think.

    The property smelled like weed and bleach and there were tons of loiterers every time I went in and out. The little kids that ran around in the room above me from like 5pm to 2am were not my favorite, but that's not the property's fault, they're just sucky people.

    Front desk people were friendly and helpful. Very pleasant.

    More in-depth cleaning would have been nice: There was a paper towel stuck where the wall meets the ceiling like someone smooshed a spider and left it there. There were also hairs in both beds that weren't ours. The ceiling exhaust appears to not be working correctly, which is causing a bit of a mold issue in the bathroom. The room also smelled like it had been smoked in before.

    The bed was super comfortable and the staff was very friendly.
