Great value with clean rooms and great location.
Pros:

It’s clean. Great value. Within riding distance from the OVR trails.

Cons:

Breakfast is shabby. Other places have a waffle maker, oatmeal, biscuits and gravy. All easy and inexpensive stuff to put out and let visitors serve themselves.

DISGUSTING! This place should be shut down.
Pros:

Nothing. It is the nastiest hotel I have ever been in! States a breakfast buffet and it was NOT!

Cons:

Entry door handle broke, AC unit full of mold, window seal broke & full of nasty yuck, mattresses are horrible, the bathroom sink has inches of seal & glue to hold it up & the under rim of the sink is all black with mold. I SHOULD receive a REFUND for both rooms!!

Needs upgrade in rooms, linens were old and pillows were horrible.
Pros:

Right off freeway

Cons:

Smelled like smoke from 1982 & same linens from 1982. Also, the pillows felt like a pile of rags in a pillow case. Definitely needs hotel overhaul.

Pros:

A good location & staff was friendly & helpful.

Cons:

It was dingy, there were bugs all around & they would come in the building from walking the dogs. It may have been the time of year.

Pros:

The room was quiet and fairly clean. Location is great. New television that worked great. Clean microwave that worked great. The bed was decent.

Cons:

They should put a stopper in the bathroom sink - I was afraid of dropping something down the drain. Be sure to dust around the lamps and lightbulbs. Not a lot to complain about.
