Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews cite filthy tubs, stained/old carpets, dirty hallways and black dirt on bare feet — overall cleanliness is poor.
Service
8.5
Mixed but often positive: several reviewers call staff friendly, helpful and efficient at times, though there are isolated reports of rudeness, yawning clerks and long waits at check-in.
Location
7.5
Conveniently located near the freeway and quiet from road noise; parking lot is well lit. Safety concerns mentioned (bar/parking lot incident, suspicious people) lower the score slightly.
Room Quality
4.5
Rooms are described as old and in poor repair: noisy/ineffective AC, odors, stains on carpet, missing amenities (mirrors/towels/TP), faulty faucets and showers.
Amenities
5.5
Pool repeatedly reported closed/under renovation (or green) and website not updated; breakfast is available and generally good, but overall amenities and maintenance are subpar.
Value for Money
6
Mixed perception: decent breakfast and helpful staff provide some value, but aging facilities, maintenance issues and occasional safety concerns reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8
Breakfast received consistently positive comments ('good'/'great'); bar/restaurant next door noted but not a hotel F&B strength.
Overall Experience
7.2
An uneven stay: friendly/helpful staff and good breakfast offset by cleanliness, room condition and amenity problems; overall impression is mixed-to-slightly-positive for some guests.

Comfortable stay
Pros:

Older but they’re remodeling. Our room wasn’t yet updated. Thin blanket so ask right away for extra if you want to be warm.

Pros:

The breakfast was good.
I didn’t trust the check in staff. The pool was closed and I was told it had been closed for over a month. The website wasn’t updated. Hallways were dirty and shower had chips in it

Pros:

Breakfast was great. The staff is beyond pleasant, friendly and helpful. The pool was under renovations and it was clearly posted and that was fine. The bathroom was clean but the bathtub needs improvement.

Pros:

Wings and bar next door had a shooting. If we hadn’t gotten delayed in getting backtothe hotel that evening we would’ve been walking through the parking lot when the shooting was going on.

Sink faucet loose only a small stream of water would come out, no shower curtain—had to ask cleaning staff for one (they were helpful). Front desk clerk kept yawning whole time we were checking in even after we commented.

Pros:

The hotel is old. Our room #220 had a huge stain on the carpet and the air conditioner unit made so much noise it was hard to sleep. Also, the TV did not work someone had to come and fix it. We did not have a mirror in our room but my sister’s room did but her room did not have towels or TP. There were also paper signs on the elevator that the pool was under construction but the website did not mention this when we booked the rooms. The hotel is next to a restaurant and the outside parking lot is poorly kept.

disappointed
Pros:

The staff were great, breakfast was good. As far as the room, the tub and bathroom floor was extremely slick, there was not a non slip matt for the tub. Our bathtub backed up when room next door used their tub. The hotel was so noisy we didn't get much sleep at all. Bed was comfortable and the room had fridge and microwave which is always nice.

Pros:

The area felt safe and convenient. the room was clean and okay, but the beds weren't comfortable in my opinion. The service was great as well as the room service. The continental breakfast was delicious.

Nothing fancy
Pros:

Hotel is worn down. The bathtub and shower need to be renovated. The sink and mirror too high for my 7 year old to use.
Microwave and fridge was good. Closet seemed iffy since the door automatically swung closed when opened and hidden behind the mirror of a door. I didn't want to forget anything inside it since it seems like it's just a mirror. The beds could use mattress upgrades to a pillow top. The carpets were grungy. The walls had touch up paint spots that were either a different color or the finish was wrong. We asked a couple weeks ahead to stay on the same floor as a teammate and they couldn't accommodate. Pool was cold, spa was broken and cold. We didn't try the breakfast. The staff was very helpful when we needed towels and a luggage valet.

Pleasant staff, but the room missed the mark.
Pros:

Staff was very nice and pleasant. The room only had two towels, carpet was very stained and beds were not very comfortable. The sink didn’t have much pressure, and the shower drained slowly, the drain looked like it was full of gunk. YUCK! Also the ice makers weren’t working on two floors, then the other floors ran out of ice! The hot tub was also more of a cool tub. Warmer than the pool, but not by much.
