Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Was refused to be given refund after abruptly leaving because my kids did not feel safe. Kids had been in vehicle for 13 hours and looked forward to the hotel but it was so dirty, smelt musty, pool had dirty sock laying around it, water bottle in the water, dirty sand/rock at the bottom. So we left, we contacted manager and they refused a refund. Needless to say we were very disappointed.

MARK

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The location close to I-80 is idea. The door into the room was warped and did not completely close. I was too tired to ask to move to another guest room and used to swinging U-hook to lock the door. The bathroom door was also warped and did not close completely. I turned both of these complaints into the registration desk when departing the next morning.

This was the worst hotel that I have stayed in in the world. We checked in Sat 26 Jul 25 and out 28 Jul 2025. The common areas ( dinning area tables and floor, hallways and stair carpet) were not clean when we checked in and were not cleaned while we were there. Our room floor was so dirty that I would not walk on it barefooted, the bathroom door would not close and the blackout curtain was broken. The grounds and parking area had weeds, butts and trash all over. We will not be back. Roger Day
