So many tweakers, people walking around the complex and the cars looking to steal. Not a fun place to stay or travel to. Burn holes and blood on sheets.
Front Staff was nice. Though Room reeked of heavy smoke, sink facet was half broken had to supervise kids to make sure wouldn’t get cut. Holes in blanket. Only plus it was close to old town and pool was clean, though I wouldn’t stay here again
no overnight cleaning neither replacing dirty towels. loud noise after 10pm in pool area and traffic noise all around property. mattress should be retire by now
The only decent thing about this place is the lady who checked us in. She was awesome. However, I would never come back. This hotel has section 8 housing and the hotel has transients and uncle table looking persons
Rooms were clean but could use so refreshing and nicer towels.
It is centrally located which was fantastic.
It’s close to freeways but did not hear much traffic but the train does go by blasting the horn even at nighttime as a warning.
Staff was very nice and helpful
Unfortunately this was one of my worst experience with hotels. Everything started from the reception desk as the employee has been very rude from the beginning and with attitude as well. The whole campus was smelling marijuana with people cursing everywhere.
The rooms appeared run down. No frills, bare minimum. No vanity, dresser or closet. Lighting was very dim. Floors were poorly kept up(stained). TV very few channels. One night no security showed up and facility was very noisy up to 3:30 in the morning. Staff
Was not accommodating to complaint of noise, specifically Michael as well as another gentleman whose name I did not get. I will say the young lady who checked us in was very accommodating the night of 7/20/25.
We will not be staying here again.
