You’re getting what you pay for here. They allowed me to check in early which was nice . Something’s to note the hot water barely works. It seems I was also put in a conjoining room which was paper thin and I could hear everything the neighbor was doing. Unless youre on a really tight budget would not recommend staying here

Disliked: Amenities
The room was spacious and it was partially renovated. The hotel is next to the freeway and thus it's noisy. Housekeeping is every other day. There is an uncomfortable metal chair at the desk. The front desk staff varied from very nice and helpful to so-so. The pool is out of commission for awhile.
