OLD!

Room smelled musty and old. Looking into the room from the hallway you could see into the room as the seals around the door were either peeling off or were missing. The pull out mattress on the sofa bed looked/felt like it has never been changed. You could feel, and see every spring. The wall AC unit points directly on the bed so the side of the bed closet to the unit is freezing, as the air has to constantly flow. I would not stay here again, whether be with my family, or myself. There were other hotels around the area for the same price that were in better condition.

Average Hotel

The stay was average- The free breakfast was plentiful but not great. The pool was warm and the spa was nice in the evening. The elevator is very small and inconvenient to use your room card to initiate the elevator from the lobby each trip and the sensor does not work very well. The fire alarm went off for probably 3-5 minutes overnight and two initial times and we could not figure out initially what the sound was. The fire department came and everything appeared ok but the parking lot was so small that the fire truck almost hit my car. Then the listing does not disclose a $26.00 fee for parking, so be prepared for that on top of the $150.00 hold. Also, the mini split A/C units are either super hot or super cold no in between.

The two women working the check in desk Wednesday night were absolutely amazing. Our Airbnb left us stranded and they were so kind to us after a very stressful night. The room was a little noisy as it was right next to the freeway but it did the job for a place for my family and i to stay so we can’t complain
