The air conditioner is outdated. You could put it cold, but if you want it hot, it only gets a little bit warm. It doesn’t work on a cold tonight as good as a shirt and they don’t have elevators or handicap Wheel Chair are overweight people to use. Overall, it’s a nice place and I love that you could check in early.

When we checked in the front desk wasn't friendly at all. He barely said anything to us. It didn't say online the pool area was closed. I was looking forward to the hot tub so that sucked. It was the dirtiest room I've ever stayed in. The bathroom had black mold! Water wouldn't stop running from bath tub faucet. Very poor maintenance. I tried to speak to a manager but of course there wasn't one on site. We asked to be contacted and never heard anything. Stay away from this place!

The only reason for any minor complaint is that the room was kinda older and had dated doors and a shower that wasn't so great. Butnid still give 4.5 stars

Chill spot for a nights stay, in-n-out is close by and a few grocery options. Is it the nicest place I’ve ever stayed? No.. but it’s chilll for a quick Layover or needed stay. I’d pop in again, room was clean. No complaints.

The staff was nice and the pool was fine. Room smelled like cigarette smoke, ash burns in the toilet seat and on furniture. Office chair in room was flat out missing a wheel. Bed is very hard. Wouldn't recommend
