Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews report filthy rooms (dog poop, cockroaches, dirty carpets) and inconsistent housekeeping; a few mentioned a clean/updated bathroom, but cleanliness is a clear recurring problem.
Service
8.8
Several guests praise friendly, helpful staff and an owner who went above and beyond, though isolated reports mention rude personnel; overall service sentiment leans positive.
Location
4.8
Location is mixed: some guests find it convenient and well-located, but multiple comments cite a shady neighborhood, nearby adult store, homeless presence and busy road issues.
Room Quality
5.5
Room features (AC, fridge, microwave, sofa) and some updated bathrooms are noted, but many reports of broken or uncomfortable items (squeaky beds, low water pressure, dated rooms) give a middling score.
Amenities
7.2
Property offers basic amenities (parking, pool, A/C, in-room fridge/microwave), but issues with TV/satellite reliability and sporadic upkeep lower the score slightly.
Value for Money
7.6
Several guests felt it was a good deal for the price, but withheld deposits, cleanliness problems and unmet expectations reduced perceived value for some visitors.
Food and Beverage
4
Breakfast is consistently described as poor or minimal (a few slices of bread, boxed cereal, watered-down coffee) or absent; food offerings disappoint most guests.
Overall Experience
9
Guest experiences vary widely: while many practical positives (helpful staff, good price, functional in-room amenities) are noted, severe cleanliness and neighborhood concerns impacted stays — overall sentiment is mixed but offset by strong service impressions.

Poor
Pros:

Not one thing.

Cons:

The staff was rude, the area was very unkempt and the the hotel room was very uncomfortable. Dirty, and broken things and very unsettling. I would like my money back actually. Also, asked for a non smoking room, got put into a smoking room. Very disappointing and dissatisfied.

Cockroaches, dog poop, car alarms
Pros:

close parking

Cons:

Filthy mess and unsafe area with homeless wandering the parking lot all night long triggering car alarms to go off. When I first got to the room there was eminence of dog poop in multiple spots in the room. Since I prePaid for the room I went and bought gloves a mop disinfectant and cleaned myself. Then the big red 2 to 3 inch red Sacramento sewer cockroaches came out. I complained to the front desk and they said they’d send somebody to spray but because i had my dog with me, i said no because i didn’t want my dog sick from the pesticides. The manager then called said they’d have me switch rooms but because i had cleaned the room for hours, i didn’t want to have to clean another so i stayed. I did develop a skill for putting a plastic cup over the carpet cockroach and sliding a paper cup under it to carry it outside as the disinfectant spray only slowed them down but didn’t kill them. I am sure my blood pressure went up over this whole experience. Also TV dish was programmed to only run an hour and would shut off every hour and you’d have to contact a satellite to reconnect and that took 15 minutes so you missed what you were watching. The water pressure in the shower. and toilet were extremely low so hard to wash shampoo out and you had to flush 3 times to get it down.
