Good house keeping to, except no tissues for the dispenser. Very friendly staff. I left before the grab and go breakfast so can't comment. It looks like a lot has been refreshed recently and so far it's still looking fresh. I'll never understand why the caulking in these bathrooms is so bad. ##### Greg Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Holly 9 Oct 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Room wasn’t ready for an hour after check in .

We booked a very last minute stay while on our drive cross country and the proximity to the Freeway and the reviews mentioned very comfortable beds. Our bed and pillows were VERY comfortable, the lot was secured with security patrol, and the strong coffee in the lobby was the perfect touch at checkout.

Check the room before you check out to make sure you have not stolen anything. Have to sign a waiver you will have no guests. Have a gate to enter/exit. It's a prison. Not a hotel. ##### Aaron Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### lynda 4 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The beds and pillows are very comfortable. I wish the breakfast was open later. Traveling through different time zones makes it hard to wake up early, and we missed breakfast. ##### lynda Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cynthia 24 Mar 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Room was far more run down than what the photos represented. Bed was comfortable. Desk attendant in the morning was super friendly. ##### Cynthia Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marilyn J 6 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness The check-in took awhile. The room was ok but the bed was uncomfortable. The TV had a terrible picture so you couldn't watch it. My partner felt it wasn't real safe. You could smell that someone had smoked pot inside and outside of room. ##### Marilyn J Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Waterside Hotel & Leisure Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Waterside-Hotel-Leisure-Club.h6845849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Guangzhou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Guangzhou-Hotels.d771.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [NoMad London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-NoMad-London.h59943753.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Notting Hill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Notting-Hill-London-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-n601720-0-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Burckin Suleymaniye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Burckin-Suleymaniye.h32889671.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Shipley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels.d177959.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Green Plaza Hakone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Hotel-Green-Plaza-Hakone.h5271834.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Bowness-on-Windermere](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bowness-On-Windermere-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d55505-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Portsmouth Budget Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portsmouth-Hotels-Portsmouth-Budget-Hotels.h31868868.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Bicester Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bicester-Village-Hotels.0-l6245634-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Andreotis Hotel Apts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Larnaca-Hotels-Andreotis-Hotel-Apts.h41653785.Hotel-Information) > > [Bishop's Lodge, Auberge Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Fe-Hotels-Bishops-Lodge.h40737.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn of the Governors](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Fe-Hotels-Inn-Of-The-Governors.h18111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Jardín Tecina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-De-La-Gomera-Hotels-Hotel-Jardin-Tecina.h26547352.Hotel-Information) > > [Yellow Bird Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Lawrence-Gap-Hotels-Yellow-Bird-Hotel.h1287831.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotels Marbella](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marbella-Apart-Hotels.d5776-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Copenhagen (CPH) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cph/edi/copenhagen-to-edinburgh) > > [Flights from Buenos Aires (EZE) to Madrid (MAD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/eze/mad/buenos-aires-to-madrid) > > [Flights from Londonderry (MHT) to Raleigh (RDU)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mht/rdu/manchester-to-raleigh) ### Cars > [Car hire in Costa Adeje](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Costa-Adeje.d6047464.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Bratislava](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Bratislava.d6035000.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Amsterdam Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam.d178229.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Labuan Bajo Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Labuan-Bajo.d2019.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals > [Dunfermline Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfermline-Holiday-Rentals.d5586.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Bilbao Old Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bilbao-Bilbao-Old-Town.dx6165953)
