Shower hot water would only run for a few minutes then cold water wouod come out after.

Good hotel for the price

The hotel was easy to access from the freeway. We arrived around 11pm. The night clerk was not friendly and he seem to be bother to have to check me in. I called ahead to let him know i was running late. Breakfast could be better. They only had a continental breakfast. The coffee was good but there was no creamer/ half and half. They only had regular milk.the cleaning crew was great. They were super helpful and friendly. They clean our roo. Without having to requested. Overall it was a good hotel.

I'm pee and it's not a real fancy place. The room's clean and very nice. It's close to the freeway and but the staff. I don't think they were very pleasant upon arrival and explain their services to you. Everything was on a piece of paper stuck to the window of the front office

Nothing positive to say about this property. Tried to get refund to move to another hotel but front desk refused. Other guests next to use came back at 3:30am and were loud and obnoxious. Extremely Bad neighborhood & would feel safe walking any time of day. Saw man urinating in public during day time. Shower never got hot, it was luke warm at best. TV only able to get 1 station. We would not recommend this hotel.
