Sketchy place to say the least. The property is right off the main freeway so some of the visitors appeared sketchy. The room was very smoky for an “non smoking room”. The pool was full a quarter of the way with green sludge (like in a horror movie) algae and dirt filled the water. We asked for a refund and checked out of the room within 30 min and was still charged $30. The bedsheets had yellow stains all over them. Old office chair in the corner of the room instead of a normal chair to sit in.

I liked the price and the parking lot was well lit. My coffee maker was missing pieces to work. Lighting was good but outdated and yellow. Room was clean, saw no pest. Furniture okay and functional but every surface had cigarette burns on them.

There was a water issue at the property, so the room I reserved wasn't available. But they had a different room held for me, so all was good. The pool was closed while I was there, and the workers fixing the water were a little noisy. But overall, this was a nice place to stay, and the manager/owner was very nice and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again!

The bed needs to be replaced. The bed was very old, could feel the springs in the mattress. The room was very old looking and needed up graded. The air conditioner and the hot water were great.

They overbooked the hotel by more than a hundred people and canceled all reservations made indirectly without notifying guests the night before the solar eclipse. I had no place to stay. They won’t answer their phone now when Expedia calls to confirm that they overbooked so that I can be compensated somehow, so I’ve gotten no help from the hotel.

I was denied a room at this location because the management at the hotel erred and overbooked. I understand mistakes happen but it’s truly indefensible on the part of management to not contact the people and let them know of this issue and inform them once the customer is at the property. It’s unacceptable on the part of the management to allow this to happen.

Can’t rate the property because they wouldn’t honor my reservation through Expedia. It was overbooked so no rooms were available and we were turned away.

It does not serve breakfast as stated. The owner i think said,we close on the weekend. The area looks unsafe. Many occupants drink all night a play loud music. I should have read reviews 1st. This was for a friend who was stranded and had no money. The breakfast was what he needed and the quiet night to rest.
