it wasn't good - I would not stay here again and at minimum I should get a discount / credit.
Pros:

I liked that the A/C cooling and heating worked.
The room was clean.

Cons:

1) Wifi / Internet didn't work one single time during my stay. Given this was a business trip, it was an issue.
I tried on various occasions to get it to work and alerted front desk (lucy) when I arrived and nothing happened or changed. Thankfully there was a starbucks nearby so I could do my work - but that cost a lot of money in buying coffee that I didn't need to do.
2) The sheets & duvet I had seemed to be clean but had blood spots all over them.
3) 2 out of the 3 lights in the room didn't work.
I did not alert front desk to 2) & 3) because there was no action on 1)

It was really bad but the staff was really nice.
Pros:

Staff was very friendly

Cons:

I couldn’t use multiple amenities and I never received a discount I was told I was supposed to receive because of the amenities being out.

"Great stop for walkable food and free cat lodging, but way too close to the noisy freeway for a pet
Pros:

Pet Policy: True to the standard brand policy, pets stay completely free, making it a stress-free spot for your tortie Cat. Nearby Dining: It sits directly on Fitzgerald Drive, just a 4-minute walk from the Pinole Vista Shopping Center. You can easily walk right over to the local Sizzler and Taco Bell. Other Eateries: The immediate strip also features a variety of other quick food stops like Wendy's, Burger King, and Original Mel's Diner. Local Banks: The area includes multiple financial spots, including branches for regional and nationwide banking right off the main commercial road.

Cons:

That being said, my primary concern during the stay was the intense noise levels due to how close the building is to the freeway and main highway. It made it very difficult to get a peaceful night's rest after a long day of driving. I highly recommend that the property looks into investing in better window insulation or soundproofing materials for the rooms facing the highway to improve the guest experience."

Horrible
Pros:

I didnt like anything at all.

Cons:

There’s no security. I feel like everyone cen just go there and roam around. My room smells like smoke so I didn’t take there for too long, I checked in 10Pm i checked put at 12am. I supposed to checked out at 11am but I couldn’t stand it anymore. When I was inside the room I could hear some strangers talking outside of my room at 12am and they were too loud and smelled smoke. The room looks dirty as well, the floor looked like no one swept. I wouldn’t stay in here anymore.

No bueno bad rooms
Pros:

Bad property no recommend for no one A terrible place—the room reeked of cigarettes, the mattresses were broken and stained with urine, and the walls were hideous; it was a disgusting place. It was much better eight years ago; now it’s a hangout for vagrants. I will never stay there again—it needs a complete renovation.
