Couldn't even make it 30min in this place. READ THE REVIEWS
Pros:

While it was not an ideal place in many ways, Jerry at the front desk was eventually understanding and helpful on getting us a refund for the days we booked.

Cons:

There were crusty brown spots on the bed when we got to the room. The bathroom lights were also flickering and the towels were tattered and shredded. The front desk man, Jerry, had a small outburst when he was told this, but then centered himself and offer to switch us to a different room or we could change the bedsheets ourselves. We went to look at the room 117 he offered. This room has a wall that is floor-to-ceiling mirror pannels with flourescent tube lights above them - I wish we got a picture. Jerry asked if we were okay to switch to "the creepy mirror room," he was really selling it with that. We said no and told him we would need to stay somewhere else. Jerry was pretty helpful after this and was able to explain how to request a refund from Booking.com in great detail.
The hotel smelled like cigarettes, it was pretty dark and dirty. I wish I could give it the benefit of the doubt, but the 9pm curfew, limited facilities, smell, cleanliness, and creepy mirror room just really was not ideal.

I came, I stayed, I had a good time and I left.
Pros:

It's a clean place in a good part of town. No problems, no drama.

Cons:

The hallway on the upper level is very liminal. Even if you are close to the top of the stairs in the lobby it's still a long walk. The second night of my stay was 45% more expensive.

Pros:

The location

Cons:

The bed. Mattress was way too thin. Sheets and bedding was definitely not made for that bed either. Stand the tv was on...wayyyy too big for the room. Bathroom was old and needed a good scrubbing, especially the shower head. Light switches in weird places.

Good enough for a 1 night passing thru stay. Still dealing with a stiff neck from that bed.

It was good if your on a budget, if I’d have known the pool was empty there’s no way we would have stayed there.
Pros:

It was very close to the freeway, and quiet at night.

Cons:

I booked this property for one thing, the outdoor pool. They emptied it on September 7th, we arrived on the 8th. The next few days were high 80,s and low 90’s. Don’t they look at the weather forecasts?? 🤬

Fair
Pros:

Rooms were rustic and very clean.

Cons:

Inform customers about a $200 fee for incidental before arrival. Front desk is not friendly. Both day and mid shift were not friendly at all.
