Pros:

The location was amazing & the pool area was nice.

Cons:

The first day of arriving, the receptionist on duty was very rude. I did not get to check into my room at all. The lady said they did not accept cashapp, chime not venmo cards for the deposit but literally charged my friend chime card for her deposit and also let another guest check in & use his chime card for his deposit as well. I had to share a room with my friend & her kids. I’ve been getting the run around about my refund since Friday evening and this is really frustrating honestly.

ROACHES, NO REFUND
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Has roaches, asked from staff to switch rooms or refund, wasn’t given either and was told they can’t promise another room won’t have roaches as they just killed some downstairs and that I can’t get a refund since I checked in.
Carpets are ripped up and stained.
Walls stained.

Pros:

Breakfast is standard continental fare - fruit, cereal, yogurt, waffles. Hot food on the weekend. It's a busy, affordable hotel, so lots of people coming and going. It's an older place, no frills, but very spacious rooms.
Front desk staff is nice.

I wouldn’t stay there again, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
Pros:

The hotel is close to the freeway, which is nice. There are some restaurants and convenience stores nearby.

Cons:

What I didn’t like is that the bathroom was dirty. At night while I was sleeping, there were insects or bugs—I’m not sure what they were. The bed base is dirty, and the room smells bad.
