Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reports of stains, long hairs, roaches, bad smells and inconsistent housekeeping; some guests did note clean bedding in isolated stays, but overall cleanliness is a clear weak point.
Service
9.5
Many mentions of helpful and prompt staff (fixed a TV quickly, assisted guests); however several guests reported overly strict or occasionally rude policies at check-in. Overall staff responsiveness is strong despite policy frustrations.
Location
9.5
Consistently described as convenient — near a venue/freeway and restaurants — though several guests warned of freeway/highway noise at night; location is a primary strength for value-minded travelers.
Room Quality
5
Rooms are basic and show wear: old mattresses/hard beds, needed repairs, and mixed reports on room condition (some roomy/comfortable, others with damage or odor).
Amenities
7
Limited amenities noted: no breakfast in some stays, no decaf/tea available in rooms/hotel, receipt requests and shipping of lost items were problematic; amenities are minimal but functional.
Value for Money
10
Several guests called it good value or priced right for a basic stay; despite condition issues, many felt the price matched expectations.
Food and Beverage
6
No onsite breakfast reported for multiple stays and lack of in-room beverage options (no decaf/tea); food options are primarily nearby fast-food which also caused access/traffic issues for some guests.
Overall Experience
9
Mixed overall: many guests appreciated the location, helpful staff and value and would stay again, while others experienced severe cleanliness and policy issues that made their stay very negative.

Pros:

the room was clean and comfortable. the staff was helpful within their overly strict rules. the nearby restaurants were fine.

Cons:

no decaf or tea available in the rooms, or apparently at the hotel at all.

staff had what felt like excessively strict rules...
when I booked this for my stepmom, it didn't give me the option of listing her as the main guest. they would not let her check in without me going back into the app and stating that I booked it for her.
also, she accidentally left a jacket there, and although they did find it, package it up and hold it at the desk for her, they were unable to ship it. luckily my son lives nearby, but I had to send him over to pick it up after providing his first and last name to the hotel beforehand, and he had to provide an ID. if she had been visiting somewhere where we didn't have family or friends, she would have lost one of her beloved jackets.

I understand caution and security, but this seems a little excessive. it makes me wonder what went on here before that made them have to put those rules in place.

It was what I wanted. Clean reasonable and close to the venue. Also very roomy
Pros:

Near the venue we were going to. Very quiet.

Cons:

Needed coffee cups for the coffee, only had plastic water cups, not so good for hot coffee. But I managed.

Would stay again. Basic but priced right
Pros:

Staff was helpful and honest. Offered us a larger room (warned it was noisy because of the freeway). TV wasnt working and office staff came to fix it within 10 minutes. Location was clean, older and not in perfect shape but sanitary and comfortable bed.

Cons:

Could use a basic renovation (appearance).
