No TV all weekend because they were new and something wasn't allowing the remote to connect to the TV. Other than that it was super cheap while still being a decent place to stay.

Got the the hotel at 11:30. Told it was just remodel. It was definitely once an old hotel that had been painted over. Shower was nice with body gland shampoo. Bar soap and lotion at the sink outside the shower toilet room. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Wall Lamps on sides of bed didn’t work and the glass shower door was too small for the shower so water was on the bathroom floor when done. Otherwise the towels were clean and soft. Overall positives: towels, bedding and bed were 5 of 5. New carpet and blackout window coverings clean. Rough Paint job on door frames and doors. Breakfast was carbs overall. Some bananas and apples. Yogurt. Otherwise, carbs galore. Would stay again for the price and pets being welcome for a small fee.

Booked king bed on highest floor. Elevator got jammed going to 2nd and 3rd floor. Me and 2 other guests were stuck about one minute until we forced door open. The front door of my room was open when I walked up to it. Eerie feeling. Door would not shut at all. Plus room reeked of cigarette smoke. Front desk changed my room, moved me to the first floor with 2 queen beds. Walls are thin. You can hear people above walking and across the hall. Dogs barking in rooms. Hotel is near restaurants and freeway I10. Front desk was friendly. Not the best hotel but ok for one night if you avoid the elevator and double check your room door closes.
