I had a very nice stay. The room was clean and comfortable. Very few amenities, no ice machine, and only a few vending machines with overpriced junk food.

The pictures online fooled us. When we walked into the lobby, the smell of smoke was overwhelming and continued into the dark hallways. While the rooms didnt smell like smoke, they were unwelcoming and uncomfortable. The beds had no bedskirts which made them look cheap. The dresser was pretty banged up and the bath tub wasnt exactly clean. There is no pool, fitbess center or ice machine! The free breakfast is actually a bookcase with coffee, instant oatmeal and prepackaged muffins. One good thing is that Parking is free.

I wanted to shout out Sahara, too. She’s been nothing but kind to me and has made it easier for me to survive a very difficult time for my family. Thanks Sahara for you kind and professional demeanor. Again, the whole staff has been amazing! The laundry room is so convenient! It’s clean and I like that you can use coins or card to pay. Thank you. I find that it’s best to notice great things, not only the complaints. Inga

The room needs repairs door handle to bathroom would come off. Booked queen beds but they are actually full beds. When checking out the person who was working late was not happy when we called to checked out. He actually said im never going to get my work done. But change as he notice l was standing at the counter with my wife. No working ice machine's at a hotel is ridiculous.

I appreciated the ease of check-in, free and easy parking, and the location close to so many restaurants, stores, and the golf course. The downside was that the bed seemed more like a double than a queen, and nearby people were smoking MJ/cigarettes. I would stay there again and hopefully it won't smell like smoke next go around!

As you enter the corridor, there’s a strong fishy smell which is horribly to tolerate. The kitchen stove is not very clean. More disappointing thing is the breakfast. This property had the breakfast included but they provided coffee and some muffins only. We ended up getting the breakfast outside.

Everything is dirty, especially the floors, which is why we had to have housecleaning come back and clean the room after we checked in, as the floor had sticky stuff on it. Additionally, we found an empty bottle of sex-jelly between the mattress and wall. There was also inadequate towels, noise coming from the roof, and the continental breakfast they advertised, is just cheap nasty coffee with old stale muffins or oatmeal-soup. By far the worst value we’ve experienced from a hotel in a long time.

The hotel looks nice from the outside and the front lobby is nice but the hotel smells really bad. This hotel has odors that run deep. Walking down the halls it smells like smoke and mold. Im amazed how the entire hotel smells so much like smoke. It’s just smells dirty. The room looked clean aside from the smells but the bathroom was overlooked. I found dried up shampoo and hair on the shower walls. I noticed that the hotel is quite occupied and I just can’t understand how people are ok with the way this hotel smells. It just doesn’t smell clean. And if you take the stairs you’ll smell urine and smoke. I like the size of the room and the location is ideal but not sure I can get used to the smells.

NOT a good value for what they charge. Place is very dirty. We had to have them come clean something sticky off the floor, and we found an empty bottle of sex-jelly between the mattress and the wall. Also, on the third floor, we could hear the roof fan non-stop, which made it difficult to sleep. Also, their “continental breakfast” was nothing more than some old stale muffins and some nasty coffee. They really don’t care about their guests, or even trying to provide service, let alone a clean safe room. Just terrible… awful even.

Kitchen area was pretty old, dated, beat up. Glad we were not there long and wasn't looking to take advantage of that amenity. Mattress was old and uncomfortable. It worked for a short stay along the way during our trip, but would not want to stay for long. Staff was great and very pleasant.

I don't mind this place for the price but the walls are paper thin. I had to listen to a couple talk, and giggle and have s*x in the next room, granted it wasn't long, aye-oh. But still she was making all noises and the bed was hitting the wall. It was feet from where I was sitting. And conveniently the tv signal went out so I was sitting in a quiet room on my phone listening to people make it while I try to relax.

It’s a decent hotel. I liked that it had a kitchen in case you needed to cook. There was some stuff that was outdated and it was in need of repair. The kitchen cabinets were peeling from the bottom. The bathroom vent was coming off. The countertop for the restroom was bad with stains on it. The windows didn’t have screens and they didn’t close right. The restroom sink faucet was broken. I took pictures before we started using anything. The roof had popcorn ceiling it looked old. The fire sprinklers looked like they didn’t work. The place is quiet even though is next to a fwy. Close to stores. Receptionist was friendly. It has a laundry room and vending machines. Vending machines were a bit expensive you could drive down to Walmart or target or winco for cheaper snacks and drinks. No smoking but it smelled like smoke not sure if the smell was coming from outside. Had a good night just needs some updates and repairs on certain things

I came to the extended stay to take a test and for that I needed absolute quiet and for no one to interrupt me. Initially when I went down to get the breakfast as advertised they only had oatmeal and some muffins and they didn’t even have the hot water for the oatmeal. Additionally, as I was testing the front desk kept calling me and some staff member walked into my room as I was taking my test. I had no other choice but to shout at them to get out, and after I went downstairs to confront the staff about invading my privacy and the license of using the room. They told me that i put in a request for the smoke detector in the room. When I told them that was not the case they did not justify entering into my space and disrupting me on a timed exam which did deprive me of five valuable minutes. (The exam is administered in increments of an hour). Not only were the beds uncomfy, but when I went into the bathroom there was clearly dirt in certain aspects of the room. I sincerely had one of the worst hotel experiences and I will definitely never come back.
