We would stay here again if we take a fan and a fire stick to watch TV. No breakfast and no pool
Pros:

Great price for the size of room to get. Very clean

Cons:

The AC kept turning off, saying it was already 68 degrees in the room, but there is no way. We were hot in there and couldn’t get it to come back on. Channels like Nickelodeon and Disney so we tried to project our phone on the screen like it said we could, when that didn’t work we called front desk and was told to contact Direct Tv, the provider.

I liked the room overall.
Pros:

Room was clean and big. Staff was friendly. Room cost was low.

Cons:

Neighborhood was sketchy. I was hoping it had a pool, but it didn't. I didn't like that the TV never worked in the living space area.

Do NOT stay here
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and the rooms were large.

Cons:

The room had a very bad smell. There were drops of urine left around the toilet along with hair on the bathroom floor and in the tub. There was also an alive cockroach crawling on the bathroom wall. The air conditioner was extremely loud. The hotel is too close to the freeway. You could hear every car and ambulance that passed by. The “breakfast” was less than continental. Mainly packaged bars.

Fine for one night, clean and comfortable enough...
Pros:

Large room, clean and easy to find the hotel. The hotel itself was very quiet, not a lot of guests. Front desk very friendly at check in.

Cons:

The place was nearly deserted, we were literally the only car in the parking lot at 3pm. Check in was easy, but we had an issue with the door lock and could not get ahold of the front desk for half an hour. No one was there, no one was answering the phone. We figured it out eventually, but someone should have a cell on them or always be at the desk...road noise from highway is loud.
