When we checked in the front desk wasn't friendly at all. He barely said anything to us. It didn't say online the pool area was closed. I was looking forward to the hot tub so that sucked. It was the dirtiest room I've ever stayed in. The bathroom had black mold! Water wouldn't stop running from bath tub faucet. Very poor maintenance. I tried to speak to a manager but of course there wasn't one on site. We asked to be contacted and never heard anything. Stay away from this place!

Chill spot for a nights stay, in-n-out is close by and a few grocery options. Is it the nicest place I’ve ever stayed? No.. but it’s chilll for a quick Layover or needed stay. I’d pop in again, room was clean. No complaints.

I had a decent stay and the location is great. This is a good low budget hotel and has a lot of good things, pool, jacuzzi, and the rooms have mini fridge and microwaves. I had to switch rooms upon my check in because the sink did not drain at all from a clog, the new room was better but it had a toilet that didn't flush very well.
