Really bad neighborhood,
We stayed 4 nights there and for 2 nights police came in front of the gas station close by and arrested multiple people. Neighborhood is very dangerous. Inside the room the smell of weed was everywhere really hard to tolerate!!

Its located in a rough neighbour hood. We had to wait for someone to come to the window for quite a long time. I even called twice before someone showed up. The room was clean but there were no blankets on the bed. There was a smell in the room so i didnt want to turn down the air conditioner. So we froze trying to sleep. The bed also was not very comfortable.

This hotel is in a bad neighborhood. I pulled into the parking lot then left cause I didn’t feel safe. It looked like a party was going on in one of the rooms with lots of people coming in and out. There were people under the influence and panhandling on the corners. Talking with an someone who lives there n the city and they called it prostitution alley. Maybe I would have been safe and my car would have been ok but I wasn’t taking that chance. Do your due diligence.

Clean and newly renovated. Nestled on the outskirts of the Latino community, it provided plenty of food and entertainment options. Not too far from downtown as well. Aside from its sketchy location, I'll certainly keep it in mind for future plans.

Our room was all one open room, not like the picture that shows a kitchenette. Everything was clean and updated, but the area was bad and a sketchy people hanging around. There was a person above us stomping and slamming things around, so I didn't sleep at all. Turned out that the manager called police and paramedics because they were concerned about their mental health. They did not offer us a discount for the inconvenience and lack of sleep either. Not worth $277/ night, but at least it was clean. We were there due to power outages and all the hotels/motels went up in price!

Look, this place itself isn't horrible, but it's not in a really good location. Heavy prostitution and drug dealing in the area leads to rooms that smell badly regardless of how much they clean them, and a neighborhood that is not the safest. The staff themselves are nice and helpful. The rooms are actually pretty nice. It's really noisy and if you can't sleep through it this hotel isn't for you. The road it sits on is busy all night long and you will hear it all night long.

We arrived at the property around 11PM and there was no one at the reception even though it should open 24h. We waited for more than 30 minutes (I also called 5 times), we gave up and went to the gas station next door when I received a call back from them. Checked in and our room smelled like weed even though it should be non-smoking.

Booked a non smoking room, room obviously smelled of smoke. In the 2-3 hours we were there, people were yelling, fighting, and you can hear EVERYTHING, including every car that drives by on the road. If you are a light sleeper, this is not the place for you.

Hotel refused to work with us on a refund when the room they provided was not matching what we booked.

The staff was nice and available as advertised but the entire place does not have nearly enough good qualities to make up for the fact that the rooms are disgusting. It seemed fine enough on the surface until we checked the floors and mattress. The floors weren't even swept and the mattress itself looked like it was borrowed from a dumpster behind a brothel- stained and smelly. There were also clusters of black dots in all corners of the mattress just under the sheets which looked like bed bugs or signs of bed bugs to the point where we just checked out and did not sleep there. Granted, after leaving we didn't have any issues with any bed bugs, so I don't think that was the case but the fact that it even looked like that was enough to give us paranoia about it for days.

This was a very affordable and comfortable stay. Had a mini fridge and a microwave but No frills or extras. Just the necessities which was fine by me and my husband. We stayed because it was just a few miles from a Music Festival we attended. It also had a small desk and a chair. We got the king room. I only wish that it had at least one other chair so we both could have sat in a chair to eat instead of on the floor or bed but that wasn't a huge deal. The staff let us know that we have to ask for extra towels, blankets/sheets etc since we were staying a few nights in a row since they don't do daily room service. There are some scuffs here and there but that kind of stuff never bothers me but if you are a perfectionists it might. I would absolutely stay here again.

This Hotel should not be in Hotels.com. The site is misleading customers by avoiding the important things. Just imagine walking to a bullet proof glass desk with a speaker window that is the reception area. The noise level of the Hotel next to a heavy truck transited highway when walking to the room is the prelude to a climax of terror that is about to happen. You enter to a disgusting smelling room impossible to descipher and you will never forget. Of course I canceled my stay and moved out. The person at the front desk told me I will be charged one night and refunded the remaining. But Hotels.com is not recognizing the situation and shows my trip as completed. This is so frustrating. Where is my refund? Lastly, this Hotel charges $200/night, this is absurd!!!

While this property has beautifully remodeled, the area that it is in is scary.

As our driver drove us further away from town I wondered why I hadn't checked the location. The buildings were rundown and many were boarded up. There were, possibly, ladies of the night, gang members, drug dealings. The hotel parking lot was full of people 'hanging out, partying, hollering and playing loud music'. I have no complaints about how people live thier lives. I just did not want to be in the middle of all this. I did not feel safe.
