Parking sucks. Rude bar tender. Room smelled. Pool unavailable due to a party. Should be a time limit even for the kids. It should be free breakfast due to the quality. All other staff were nice, rooms were cleaned and decent room prices

We enjoyed our stay here. We were in town for a baseball game so we didn’t use the room for more than sleeping, but it was very nice and quiet. I would definitely recommend 10/10!

4/10 Fair

This property needs a total renovation. The room and furniture were nice enough, but the bathroom is outdated. The toilet would run on and off during the night. The AC unit was VERY loud. The parking deck was CLOSED, and the temporary/alternate parking was further from the building. This was very inconvenient. The overall experience felt like a rip off for the price paid.

The room that we got - facing the freeway was loud and the air/cond. was loud - not only that the Parking lot was across the street.

Stay was great minus the fack that their primary parking spots were not open. Had to use the back lot for parking. Then, we walked through the empty blocked off primary lot to get to the door. The staff were kind and the pool area was clean.
