I like the room it was great. I book here because of it had a swimming pool (it was dirty and not even ready to be used. I wanted breakfast it did not have anything just coffee o hot water for tea. It look like it’s getting renovated because just some rooms were available. I hope when they finish it like the picture on the website.

I think this is family owned and the staff tries their best to be friendly. They upgraded me to a suite which was essentially 2 rooms in 1. The room has minimal cosmetic upgrade, the floor was dirty, no towels, no shower curtain, nothing in the room works! Morning breakfast was a brown bag with snacks from Costco! Maybe they need more time before they open for business.

Renovating & not ready to rent rooms to guests.

Check in lady was nice, said we had a pool view. The pool was only 1/3 full of green water. We were moved to a room with parking lot view to see our car. The phone did not work. The TV did not work, no connection to a network. Front desk girl could not locate a manager or maintenance person to fix anything. We only stayed as the beds were new & comfortable, there was very little choice in the town. We did get on the adjacent hotel Wi-Fi to watch a movie on our laptop. The bath sink would not drain at all. The rooms are called suites with fridge, cooktop, small coffee pot. We went out to eat. But absolutely no utensils, cookware or dishes to accommodate anyone who panned for this.

After checking in and going to the room I had to come back for towel, curtains had holes in them, bathtub was stained and dirty, bed frame sounded like aluminum sheets when you moved, dead roach on the floor, towels and wash clothes smelled like vinegar, and they charge you an incidental fee, that they will never refund, and on top of that they have three hotel names listed under the same building with different pricing for the same rooms

The room was huge which was amazing but I’m not sure when the room was cleaned last. The floors turned my feet black so I could only walk with shoes on. The shower look like someone had just used to so I was iffy about getting in of course. Also do not expect to get your deposit back. I left the room in the same condition and they never refunded me for my stay

Decent room for the price. Could have been cleaner. Very loud guests are night. My husband asked for a pillow (3 provided for a king bed)and the front desk never provided one, he had to track down housekeeping. They only provide one towel and washcloth and do not replace or refill toiletries. We had small used bottles left for us by previous guest. Full size fridge and microwave was nice.

Don’t waste your money!! The whole place is nasty and sketchy. Shower and tub was brown. Don’t get me started on those beds they were just filthy covers not clean and had crumbs in the bed. They gave me another room but I end up not staying in that one either.
