Stayed one night, basic amenities, felt unsafe due to lots of people coming in and out during the night. Be aware of the $250 dollar deposit fee when you check in even if you prepay for your stay.

Shower hot water would only run for a few minutes then cold water wouod come out after.

Good hotel for the price

The hotel was easy to access from the freeway. We arrived around 11pm. The night clerk was not friendly and he seem to be bother to have to check me in. I called ahead to let him know i was running late. Breakfast could be better. They only had a continental breakfast. The coffee was good but there was no creamer/ half and half. They only had regular milk.the cleaning crew was great. They were super helpful and friendly. They clean our roo. Without having to requested. Overall it was a good hotel.
