Crappy and dirty place

Creepy. Interesting characters at the hotel. Old, old carpets, old door. Dirty, stain bathtub, just two small towels were provided, I had to ask for more. Hairdryer was in bad condition, fire hazard, had to ask for a new one. Plugs did not worked well, very old and not strong current to charge a laptop properly. No bathroom extractor. Worst hotel. Cheesy tacky decorations on the lobby. I mean, I wasn’t expecting a Four seasons service . But something decent, clean. Please don’t stay here. I arrived late and did not had the energy to go somewhere else, thankfully was only one night. Stay elsewhere

Okay stay.

Overall, my stay was good. The front desk staff was excellent and very welcoming. Although parking wasn’t free, the rates were reasonable. The hotel is located near a freeway, and even though my room was on the side, the noise was noticeable throughout the night (light sleepers should bring earplugs). The AC/heating unit in the room was also quite loud and could disturb your sleep. Aside from these issues, the area felt safe, and there were plenty of dining options nearby.

Poor reception service and some mold in shower

Service was pretty unfortunate here. We were mislead with the availability of roll away bed. We called ahead and they said we can get one, then come time for the stay, they said we couldn't. Front desk was pretty cold and dismissive. Also, there are signs of mold and rust in the room. It's worth noting that the Filipina breakfast service lady is awesome. She is really warm, welcoming and really on top of that breakfast service. She is the star of the facility

Nice Property

We asked to be placed in a quiet room--away from the elevators and ice machines. That we got. We were however in a room that was exposed to freeway noise, a lot of back-up beeping from neighboring vehicles, and plumbing noise. Also, there was ample parking, but it cost us $15 for our one-night stay. The breakfast was ample and good.
