    Early check in availability

    Room 171 can be noisy from the outside, cigarette smoke can permeate from the outside

    1Verified guestPosted on: 4-29-2025

    I was checked in a dirty room with dirty and wet towels unmade bed and a trash can with trash in it

    5Verified guestPosted on: 3-22-2025

    Hotel may have an issue with the hot water system. The hot water was available during the morning hours but during the evenings where I prefer to shower.

    Front door broken. Access by rough cobblestone walk to back door. TV didn't work. Took over an hour to fix. Wifi didn't work.

    7Verified guestPosted on: 1-6-2025

    Nice staff

    Patio seating is wide open to other rooms with patio, no separation, plants overgrown, glass patio door did not glide easily jumped along track was heavy. No hot water called, waited 1.5hrs call back maintenance finally came another 30min to fix it.

    Beautiful outdoor seating area around fire and pool. Staff friendly

    Window thin could feel air around it, counter/desk area unde TV old chipping

    10Verified guestPosted on: 10-28-2024

    The front desk staff was exceptional. Every single one of them. I stayed in the hotel for a week while work was being done on my house, so it was a complicated situation and every guest services agent treated me kindly, patiently and with flexibility!

    Housekeeping was instructed several times to not make up my room before 1 PM. They pounded on my door numerous times prior to that and yelled through the door. That communication needed to be reinforced after I mentioned it the first time.

    Location and price

    The air conditioner leaked all over my shoe during the night. My shoe was so wet I couldn't wear it. Management did nothing when I told them at the front desk. Made me wonder about the room's mold potential?

    Super clean, great location to ice cream, bagels, Safeway grocery store, the interstate highway, super friendly staff and the room was outstanding. Great pool and pool areas

    10Verified guestPosted on: 7-23-2024

    Staff was friendly. Breakfast was included with the room price. The food was better than adequate.

    Staff only cleaned rooms every other day.

    1RyanPosted on: 7-2-2024

    The bar.

    The fleas, the nasty smell, the dirty room, thin walls, the freeway noise. Honestly one of the worst hotels

    8Verified guestPosted on: 5-30-2024

    location, quiet, nice outdoor pool

    Not really except there were no newspapers for guests and dining room limited in hours

    Bathrooms could be updated

    Location to travel needs, shopping center very close,

    wi-fi îs not good unless you are on the first floor. Beware. I was able to change rooms so I was happy after that.

    7BrandonPosted on: 7-29-2023

    Rooms were clean.

    Located next to highway and business park. Parking lot felt strange and isolated. Had to park car in back of building to get to room, which was weirdly far away from the lobby. Room was small, decently clean, but not the best kept up.
