Staff was friendly. Rooms were clean, however outdated, furniture held with duct tape and no mention of a security deposit on the website but once you arrive they inform you of one. Only 4 tv channels worked.

This place does not look like the pictures shown. Its trashed. Amenities in the pictures are not in the actual rooms. I paid for a king sized bed executive suite that was supposed to have a jacuzzi tub and it didnt have one. It also didnt have a properly functioning tv. The tv color was blurry from damage and age. There was only a couple of channels you could watch one of which was an adult channel. Never seen a place with free adult channel but for those who might end up here with children do note that channel 49 is hardcore adult channel. I did take pictures.

What I didn’t like is that the tv didn’t have all the channels that was on the paper in the room & I think the dirty channel should be locked & if you want to watch it then you have to pay for the channel to be unlocked because, I don’t know if they ever has kids come with their parents.

Disliked: Amenities
Old hotel. Probably OK when 1st built but has sunk to current level. It does have free parking and easy access to the freeway. My room smelled of old smoke covered by some sort of cleaning scent. It did get better by the second day. No In room coffee but the filling station next door had excellent coffee

This place is not bad, but during the night, twice, someone was attempting to open every door with a key card. Not sure if they were intoxicated or looking to actively harm someone. This was a bit off putting.
