I stayed here Aug 1, 2026. Bathroom tub super old and chipping. There were roaches in cabinets and once i saw them had to leave as i had my family with me. Front desk applogized and said would get refund but once i came down to ask for refund rather than process it told me i had to go thru expedia which of course was another process. Stay away!!

The jacuzzi was broken, the door was broken, our key card didn’t work, and the main office was closed. We had to go to another office across the property just to get assistance. The only decent things about our stay were the strong water pressure in the shower and the AC.

Dirty room with roaches. Shower had a million coats of paint which made it sticky. Tub and toilet had years of stains. Random door that leads to another room that you can't lock. Front door gets jammed so you have to body slam it to get into your room. Sliding door that leads to open grass with overgrown weeds where you have access to other people's doors. The wifi didn't work and I had to use my phone's Hotspot to watch the TV. The only thing that worked properly was the A/C and the bed was comfortable. Pet friendly. Staff was great and very helpful.

The desk staff was friendly, the manager not so much. The bed smelled of pot smoke and the manager seemed amused by that and unconcerned and said they had no pillows that we could exchange our stinky ones for. The building itself is in very bad shape. So, unpleasant but it kept us off the streets. It was nice to check out and drive away.

Roaches EVERYWHERE, slimey walls, mold, broken door handles, AC doesn't work, beds are broken and swallow you like a taco, heavy urine smell, can't see TVs while laying in the beds, NO couches. Rooms look NOTHING like the photos. Staff is friendly and all BUT the fact they even give you room keys to these flop house rooms without so much as a warning, is insane. I wouldn't make my worst enemy stay here!!

Arrive at 4:00 am and the toilet was broken, The desk clerk was extremely helpful and courteous and moved us to another room immediately. We inquired about late check out on our final day and the daytime staff was very pleasant to work with. Staff at this location understands hospitality and taking care of their guest.

Dirty! The walls, doors and bathtub were dirty. We had issues with the balcony slider, not locking, we had to call in maintenance within 15 minutes from checking in. Also, the front door kept not locking in intermittently. Not happy at all. Would not stay there again. Not only was the area sketchy, but some of the people staying at the hotel were sketchy. Maybe they lived there, not just temporary residents?

The TV did not work. Shower handle struggled to turn on. Room didn’t get serviced a single time in the 3 nights we stayed. I even asked a house keeper for towels and she said did not have any. The keys didn’t work consistently. Breakfast was good and front desk people were friendly.

The room was satisfactory. The air conditioning was excellent. The bed was moderately comfortable, and I would have preferred it to be more so. The bathroom, however, was not to my liking. The bathtub appeared unclean, but there was a coding on its surface that was gradually fading. Additionally, the shower curtain rod was positioned incorrectly due to a broken side, causing the curtain to hit the showerhead during use, which was uncomfortable. Despite these minor inconveniences, the overall experience was decent. I appreciated the private balcony, which provided a scenic view of the sunset. The presence of cable television further enhanced the entertainment options.

Upon initial entry into the hotel room we noticed cockroaches running on the floor so we quickly requested a different room which we were provided. Room was so close to the freeway that noise was unsettling. We had a two night reservation but after arising the first morning and having no hot water we decided to move out (hotel reception admitted to having a water problem and apologized with kindness and courtesy so I give two stars instead of one). We asked for a refund for the unused second day of the reservation which was granted.

The place was not inevitable. The bed was sunken in the middle, no doors on the closets, the furniture and appliances were out dated and mixed match, the floor in the room was unsettling, there was dog poop in front as you walk out the room, seedy people sitting in their cars/ walking around, the lightning was low. Expedia needs to send a person out to these different hotels to look at these properties before putting them on their sight. Also, when I went to check in the payment didn't go through even though I brought my flight, vehicle, and stay in a bundle. Going back and forth with an Expedia representative via telephone calls.

Broken front door looks like someone kicked it in. The fire alarm was stolen, the share room door wouldn't close or lock and much much more. (see photos)

Absolutely not recommended

The floor in the room was filthy, we were unable to locate the light switch, there was a dumpster with a mattress sticking out of the dumpster and other discarded furniture placed outside of the dumpster near the pool. There were questionable characters casing the parking lot that made us feel unsafe. I would never recommend this facility to anyone. We did not stay and the hotel agreed to refund 2 out of the 3 nights we had reserved. The refund process was laborious and slow. (Wish we had taken pictures)

This property is run down, sketchy people hanging around the parking lot next to a gas station and a freeway on ramp next it is very noisy. There’s a Clarion hotel on the same property and I had a check in there because the owner owns both properties. You can tell the owner neglects the property and just take the cash from the renters. I had a scalding hot shower that would only be hot or hotter and it burned my foot. I complained to the front desk, but they couldn’t do anything about it. I do not recommend anybody staying there as there are better other options nearby. I would never come back to this property.

The staff were helpful, friendly and responsive. Breakfast nook was overseen by a staff person throughout the morning; continental style with mini muffins, bagels, English muffins, toast, butter, ream cheese and peanut butter available, two deep waffle irons for nice make-your-own, yogurt, apples, cereal and fresh coffee. Rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. Sadly the facility itself is worn; there were cracks in the bathroom tile and walls, we had two lamps whose light bulbs wore out. But we felt reasonably comfortable. I hope they can make some repairs as it would elevate the place a bit. My one other suggestion would be to provide hard boiled eggs to the breakfast menu to add a protein option.

The handicapped room we were assigned was clean and the bed was comfortable; however, the bathroom was a misdesign. The shower and toilet were in the same room. The shower had one cloth curtain. The water flowed under it and onto the floor around the toilet. I built a towel wall. Later, the manager apologized and built another towel wall for fear my elderly aunt (87) might slip and fall. The towels were clean, but stained. The kitchen was useless because it had no utensils, pans or plates. The breakfast was adequate and the staff was friendly. They also accommodated our staying later than 9:00 AM. This was nice, but way too early to close for breakfast. The door handle to my room was upside down. You raised up on the latch; rather than pushed down on it. Expedia rated this hotel far too high.

I was shocked at how poor the room and surrounding area were. The cheap vinyl flooring was cracked, split and torn. The blow dryer didn't work. The curtains were cheap and too sheer to give privacy and most likely from the 1970's. The furniture was old and in bad shape. There was a glass sliding door (with the curtains that didn't give privacy) that looked out on a dirty back yard area with trash, a prison style fence, and close to the noisy highway. The pet area was full of dog poop because people didn't clean up after their dogs. The hot tub was dirty and empty. It also seemed to be in a seedy part of town. I was glad to leave in the morning! There's a Starbucks across the street, which is where I got my breakfast. Oh...I also found a used Kleenix in the sheets. It had obviously been washed and stuck to the sheet after drying.
*Despite the old run down condition of everything it seems the housekeeping did a really good job cleaning the room. Desk clerks were nice. The owners need to put some money into cleaning up and remodeling the rooms.

This is not a hotel!!!It is an apartment complex where ppl live. The place is disgusting there was blood on the walls. Trash can outside of the rooms full. I checked in got my room key with my family and walked right out when I saw the room. The bathtub had roaches and was dirty/moldy tub. The room was also not what I had paid for I had “reserved” a room with a bed sofa and the room I was given had only 2 queen beds. It’s the worst and most disgusting place I have ever seen.

I was so disappointed and disgusted with this reservation. When we arrived it was infested with cockroaches, stains on the beds, the ac wasn’t working, walls were dirty like they haven’t cleaned them in years. I went to tell the front staff if they could give us another room, because I had 4 children oldest being 8 youngest being 4 months old and wasn’t comfortable having them sleep in there. Mind you we drove almost 8 hours.. they told me they didn’t have anymore rooms and if we wanted to cancel it would be $200 on top of the $100 damage deposit I had put down. To top it off they when we returned from an outing The next day, our room had not been cleaned! I was so disappointed. Never again

I was “upgraded” into a kitchenette that hadn’t seen a good floor cleaning in a long time, judging by the multiple gouges, scuff marks and splotches (origin unknowable) across the entire floor. Th AC unit blew right into heavy drapes and a lighter weight curtain which one was forced to tie back in order for the AC to function.
Wait! I’m not done: the shower was supposed to be handicap accessible but whoever designed it should have his/her license revoked because:
- once the water was turned on the entire room flooded making it extremely hazardous to move even a step
- the water controls are located behind a ( supposedly handicapped) person who could be seated in a secured bench in the shower, making it impossible to adjust temperature without standing up and turning around (see flooding above)
- the non-skid bath mat would’ve been great for a five-year-old but isn’t suitable for an adult, disabled or not
- the flooding included the toilet area (same room)
- a solution to the hazardous flooding was to make floor mats out of the bath towels supplied, which soaked up a lot of water - then it was safe to cross the room to a dry area (the above-described pock-marked flooring).
Yes, ants and other interesting little creatures appeared to feel at home. One could only wonder what others went unseen. The kitchenette had a full-size range/oven, 12 cu. ft. refrigerator, sink AND a microwave large enough for a turkey 50 yrs ago. Not now. Gut it.
