For the price this was a clean and roomy hotel room. However, the walls are ridiculously thin. I hardly got any sleep the one night I stayed there because the person in the room next to me snored all night long! Yes, I could hear the snoring through the wall. If you're a sound, good sleeper this might not be a problem. However, if you expect a quiet sleeping experience, you might want to rethink this location.

Good place to stay. If there are people outside your door or a couple doors down talking loud then you are going to hear it. But overall good experience breakfast was very basic but still worth going and getting it.

Pool was under construction , so both it and jacuzzi were not able to be used ……and yet NOT Clarified on this site BEFORE BOOKING !! ….. only find out once you’ve paid in full and it’s non refundable Staff are unkind and unfriendly …….and NO ONE Smiles throughout the entire property , from housekeeping to maintenance to gardner(?) and particularly the FRONT DESK !! Not good or pleasant experiences every time you encounter them ….theres an oppressive vibe about the whole place that I’ve never experienced before, and being a flight attendant I’ve seen 100’s of hotels and more than most . Because of its yucky location with homeless around and the motel 6 next door, where people reside ……you couldn’t “escape” the negativity of the property, staff and environment

Little dated but great room and service overall.
The room overall was nice and I had a pleasant stay. The decor is a little dated and I didn’t like the comfort of the mattress but that is subjective to everyone’s personal preferences. I was still able to sleep and get ready for the next day without feeling groggy. The room was very clean and had all the amenities needed inside. A desk, table for eating, tv, microwave, and fridge.
