Liked: Staff & service
While the pricing was reasonable for a one night stay, the cleanliness of the room was inconsistent. The bathroom was fairly clean but the kitchen area was not. The dining table was not wiped down and the refrigerator door shelves still had a baggie of food from the previous guest as well as being dirty. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, which is why I am giving this property an average rating that otherwise would have been poor.

Both of the rooms that I stayed in smelled awful, like mildew. Causing our luggage to pick up the smell of the musky rooms. The inside of this property has never been remodeled for decades.The surrounding area outside is safe with no suspicious activity. The hot coffee that the hotel provides in the morning is made using TAP water, which is very unfortunate.

I had to wait for someone to come to the desk when I arrived after 5 hours of travel. The person was busy in the back room and asked me to take a seat. No shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, shower cap, moisturizer, coffee, cups, glasses, or coffee machine in the room. Ad says fully equipped kitchen. I called the front desk for items, and shampoo, hard soap, coffee machine, and utensils were delivered. No conditioner, shower gel, shower cap, or moisturizer. The front desk claimed it was aginast the law to have these items in the room. I could not use the shower; there was no handle to hold on to or a rubber anti-slip mat in the shower. It is unsafe for a senior like myself. There also wasn't a hand extension for the shower. I was told by the person at the front desk they do not provide it in any of their rooms. I have a medical procedure in the morning and cannot take a shower beforehand. This should be reported as an unsafe hotel to Cal Osha or other authorities. Ad says Free Breakfast- it's free coffee and a muffin. Perhaps the verbiage should be changed. This should also be posted on the Expedias/ Stay America website and it wasn't. Shameful. I want a refund!

Dear Lori, Thank you for selecting us. It is disappointing that our front desk was not manned on your arrival and you were inconvenienced. Also, we regret we did not meet your expectations for a maintained room and hope you will accept our apologies for the inconvenience you encountered. We have taken note of your observations and are currently having the same conversation with our team. We have instructed our housekeeping team to double-check the room before delivering. Our guests frequently bring personal items to use in their suites, so we provide complimentary hair dryers and toiletries upon request at the front desk. Your feedback has been shared with our front desk staff to ensure we communicate our services to every guest. Our priority is to serve our guests excellently; anything lacking is taken very seriously. Please feel free to reach out to us for further assistance and allow us another chance to host your visit and provide a memorable trip. Sincerely,Hotel Management

Exceeded Expectations
This is a discount hotel so I had low standards. I care about 1) the comfort of the bed, 2) the quality of the bathroom, and 3) cleanliness. All three exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only issue is that the Hotels.com site says there is a complimentary breakfast. It's only a coffee bar - no food. Hotels.com needs to correct this.

Horrible Management!
This was a horrible experience in customer service and how this hotel treats it's guests! I will NEVER stay here again! I thought my checkout day for my reservation was 16th, so when I got to the hotel the night of the 15th my key did not work. When I went to the front desk to ask why my key was not working I was told that I should have already checked out at 11:00 a.m. that day and that they were going to need to charge me the cost of that night plus a $250 cleaning fee. I was also told that I could not stay there that night they could not check me in I had to wait for their manager the next day well I start work before their manager comes in so I am probably going to be charged for two nights now on top of the $250 cleaning fee I was not given a courtesy call to ask and make sure that I knew that that was my checkout day and to confirm if I was extending. I'm still waiting for the manager to call me back this has been the worst experience I've ever had I will never stay at this hotel this is the worst hospitality experience I have ever had.
