Room was okay but bathroom sink hadn't been fully cleaned (hair and lipstick). Sheets very wrinkled? Breakfast room was closed but coffee was available. You do have to walk over freeway to access restaurants and supermarket.

The Hotel promotes a pool, hot-tub, and a buffet breakfast. These 3 things were the reasons that we booked our room. The pool & hot-tub were green, had a jelly coat, and closed. The breakfast did not include eggs and bacon like their pictures showcase.

It could’ve been better.. it was very loud at night, it was cold so I didn’t want to go swimming but the pool was super dirty and ugly, it just brought the appearance down so much. The breakfast was disgusting!! So if you are looking for a hotel that comes with breakfast don’t do this one. The reason I gave it two stars was because the bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and nice! But besides that it had many downfalls

The staff were great but the hotel was not as the pictures describe. The rooms were cold and everything was either missing, broken, or unavailable. The sheets were dirty. The knobs to some of the drawers were missing. Everything was sticky like it wasn't cleaned in a long time. The vent to the restroom was damaged and missing a few parts from the ceiling. The floors in the restroom were cracked. The breakfast was not as described. No waffles, no eggs, no bacon. Only toast and unflavored cereal.

I stayed at this hotel for one night while in town for a graduation. I booked a room with a king bed. Unfortunately, the room felt quite dated — there were missing knobs on the furniture and visible patchwork on the walls that hadn’t been fully finished. The carpet looked like it could use a deep cleaning. On a positive note, the bathroom area appeared to be clean. However, I had read previous reviews mentioning sightings of cockroaches and hoped I wouldn’t encounter any. To my disappointment, I found a dead roach in the light fixture above the shower, and later saw another one scurry across the ceiling near the bathroom sink as I was getting ready. I was relieved that my stay was only for one night. Based on this experience, I would not choose to stay at this hotel again.
