When I arrived to the room it did not look nothing like in the app. I was disappointed the shower was dirty . Luckily I had cleaning supplies and Lysol. The room was a non smoking but it smelled like cigarettes. I will never stay here again.

The staff were really accommodating and helpful to me. I would highly recommend this hotel if you need a clean and comfortable place to stay without being too fancy. For next time, I'll grab dinner from the Carl's Jr just a couple hundred feet away.

We were comfortable, it is nice they are pet friendly. The sprinklers are set for early evening leaving the pet area flooded. Very noisy outside with some sort of metal banging throughout the night. Not the hotel’s fault.
