This hotel is the filthiest rooms I ever saw in my life. I cannot believe they are allowed to even rent these rooms out. I refused to stay! They showed me another room same thing. They need to be reported to the health department. Thank goodness the Clarion hotel was right there and stayed there for a higher price. Staff was great. But unable to stay there. Disgusting!!!

Staff was great. Rooms are hot and the air barely keeps up. The floors even stayed hot (first floor). Places the flooring was lifting. The bed was good. Rooms need some work. The only view is the freeway. I just needed a place to crash while visiting. It was fine for that.

Should have a rating of a half a star. Filthy

The outside was filthy. A person was changing his oil. Inside... Holes in the wall. Concave mattress. Filthy sheets (slept in clothes) A severely chipped shower / bathtub. Broken front door looks like someone kicked it in. The fire alarm was stolen, the share room door wouldn't close or lock and much much more. (see photos) Also, this was the best after changing rooms three times.

Absolutely not recommended

The floor in the room was filthy, we were unable to locate the light switch, there was a dumpster with a mattress sticking out of the dumpster and other discarded furniture placed outside of the dumpster near the pool. There were questionable characters casing the parking lot that made us feel unsafe. I would never recommend this facility to anyone. We did not stay and the hotel agreed to refund 2 out of the 3 nights we had reserved. The refund process was laborious and slow. (Wish we had taken pictures)

This property is run down, sketchy people hanging around the parking lot next to a gas station and a freeway on ramp next it is very noisy. There’s a Clarion hotel on the same property and I had a check in there because the owner owns both properties. You can tell the owner neglects the property and just take the cash from the renters. I had a scalding hot shower that would only be hot or hotter and it burned my foot. I complained to the front desk, but they couldn’t do anything about it. I do not recommend anybody staying there as there are better other options nearby. I would never come back to this property.
