There was a dead roach in our first room. Due to this is there any compensation? A discount due to us having to get another room and dealing with this instead of enjoying our stay.

Pleasant Stay

Pleasant stay overall. Front desk staff at check-in was super engaging, friendly, and accommodating. Room was adequate, bed being especially comfortable. Amenities included a microwave and mini refrigerator. Plenty of free parking. Stayed on a Friday night and property was quiet. Would stay again.

Costumer service at night was so bad!! In the morning the guy was nice and professional. Room was dirty and no hot water what so ever. So much traffic at night. We had prostitutes come up to our car window with our kids in the car. Homelessness asking for money as well. I left after the first night and cancelled the other 2 nights. Never again!!!

Almost excellent

Upon check in, the front desk agent seemed preoccupied and unfriendly. Thankfully, once we got to the room, things improved. the room was clean modern and comfortable. the property was in a decent area(except for the presence of a couple of call girls during the day) and was within easy access from the freeway.

First of all the room was extremely dirty. The bathroom has mold on the ceiling and the walls had brown patches. There was also a roach in the room I had to kill. After check out the person checking me out did not correctly check me out causing me to be charged an extra night. The staff on the phone was nice to resolve the issue but overall was a terrible experience.
