When we first got there, our room Keyes did not want to work whatsoever. They “fixed” them four times and they still didn’t work, they then switched us to other rooms on the other side of the hotel and there was a strong malodor. After we complained about that, they showed us our original rooms by opening up the doors with a pair of screwdrivers. Those rooms weren’t any better either. which resulted in us having to book another hotel 10 minutes away. DO NOT PAY THE GUARANTEED RESERVATION FEE THROUGH EXPEDIA. - I paid extra for a guaranteed reservation through Expedia, and we where told at the place of booking that this fee was totally worthless, that we where gonna be given whatever room was left.

No soundproof and open to public access.

Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing. The room lacked basic amenities like a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. I had specifically requested a first-floor room due to a knee issue, but the location ended up being right next to the freeway and an open alley with no barrier to public access. Around midnight, people were loudly yelling outside our room, asking for alcohol. Although we called the front desk, the group dispersed before staff arrived. Throughout the night, the noise from passing cars, pedestrians, and general foot traffic was extremely disruptive—I woke up multiple times and couldn’t get any restful sleep. The lack of security and open access to the hotel area was concerning. Vehicles and rooms are left exposed, and it felt like anyone could just walk through the property. I strongly urge management to prioritize guest safety and peace by adding better barriers or walls, increasing security presence, and ensuring guests can truly relax during their stay.

So far the worst hotel I’ve ever experienced . I did booked ahead of time , 2 months ahead to be exact but when I check-in in their front desk they said that they don’t have a room available for us. WHAT?They ask me to cancel my old reservation and do a new reservation which is way expensive rate 76 dollars difference FYI . When we got in the room what we found is we don’t have TV, 4 live cockroaches crawling around the room and a dead cockroach in the bath tub , a broken chair and untidy toilet bowl with black stain inside . I want to get out right away of the hotel but it’s 10-11 PM already but there’s no available hotel around the area .and When I asked if we can have bath towel because we don’t have any they said they run out of bath towel . I had to endure this kind of treatment until morning . I’m so disappointed with this hotel . I’m too tired to make a scene about this but I want to make a review about it so that people will know what to expect if they will be staying in this hotel .
