Summary: I arrived late due to my flight and went straight to bed. My room looked like it had repairs and was poorly painted. It had bare minimums including no lamp on night stand. Had to walk in the dark to get to the bed from the door where the light switch was. The big shocker was when I woke up in the night freezing and had to turn on lights to look for a thermostat or heater. The room had none. I froze the remainder of the night. When I mentioned no heat to the desk person he said u could have come got a space heater. How would I know that. I asked if all rooms were like that and he said yes. I guess no heat comes with a budget hotel. It was easy in and off the freeway for my trip, but that was it.

Summary: Had a wonderful 2-night stay! The front desk staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was beautiful—clean, comfortable, and stocked with all the essentials (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, mini fridge, and coffee maker). Room service was excellent, and towels were delivered promptly when requested. The outside of the hotel is lovely as well. Highly recommend!

Summary: The owner was very pleasant but the room/bathroom were dirty-filthy. 0ne little packet of conditioner & shampoo & 2 little soap bars. Water was ridiculous in shower. Would not recommend this place. It's located rt by the freeway with homeless living out back & across the street is a rehabilitation facility. Most of the tenants r from the rehab. I'm not one to complain but ....

Summary: Rooms are disgusting, boogers and greasy fingerprints are on walls, the curtains smell like smoke and urine there are holes in the walls, the worst part is the cockroaches were unbelievable, i left with bugs in my belongings! The front desk staff was rude and made paying with my hotel app difficult, would NOT recommend this hotel to anybody
