The staff were helpful, friendly and responsive. Breakfast nook was overseen by a staff person throughout the morning; continental style with mini muffins, bagels, English muffins, toast, butter, ream cheese and peanut butter available, two deep waffle irons for nice make-your-own, yogurt, apples, cereal and fresh coffee. Rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. Sadly the facility itself is worn; there were cracks in the bathroom tile and walls, we had two lamps whose light bulbs wore out. But we felt reasonably comfortable. I hope they can make some repairs as it would elevate the place a bit. My one other suggestion would be to provide hard boiled eggs to the breakfast menu to add a protein option.

The handicapped room we were assigned was clean and the bed was comfortable; however, the bathroom was a misdesign. The shower and toilet were in the same room. The shower had one cloth curtain. The water flowed under it and onto the floor around the toilet. I built a towel wall. Later, the manager apologized and built another towel wall for fear my elderly aunt (87) might slip and fall. The towels were clean, but stained. The kitchen was useless because it had no utensils, pans or plates. The breakfast was adequate and the staff was friendly. They also accommodated our staying later than 9:00 AM. This was nice, but way too early to close for breakfast. The door handle to my room was upside down. You raised up on the latch; rather than pushed down on it. Expedia rated this hotel far too high.

Too expensive for what we got.

I had higher hopes for this one. Our room was missing the front of the oven door and the pullout couch was missing bolts and wouldn’t fold out at all. We had to pull the mattress off and sleep on the floor. There weren’t enough additional linens or towels to accommodate the number of guests.

Decent people don’t stay here

My garden had 15 piles of dog poop. TV didn’t work. The freeway was right out the door. Very terrible area, people were creepy. Front desk was closed so I had to go across the street to check in. My bed squeaked. There where only sheers in my window, no curtain.

Room appeared tidy. Walking barefoot on the floor left us with black feet. Coffee pot leaked. Oven door had no/broken exterior glass panel. Adult I was with burned their self on oven door as it sprang shut. The kids started counting cockroaches after the 4th one, stopped after reaching dozen. Did not stay second night to avoid bringing cockroaches home. Stay was non refundable so lost needed $100 due to early checkout. Will not stay at any hotel of this brand again.

It's a halfway house for homeless, pretty scary activities going on, bad neighborhood. I was supposed to stay 3 nights, but checked out after the 1st night. Never using Expedia again, you obviously don't vet your properties.

I was shocked at how poor the room and surrounding area were. The cheap vinyl flooring was cracked, split and torn. The blow dryer didn't work. The curtains were cheap and too sheer to give privacy and most likely from the 1970's. The furniture was old and in bad shape. There was a glass sliding door (with the curtains that didn't give privacy) that looked out on a dirty back yard area with trash, a prison style fence, and close to the noisy highway. The pet area was full of dog poop because people didn't clean up after their dogs. The hot tub was dirty and empty. It also seemed to be in a seedy part of town. I was glad to leave in the morning! There's a Starbucks across the street, which is where I got my breakfast. Oh...I also found a used Kleenix in the sheets. It had obviously been washed and stuck to the sheet after drying. *Despite the old run down condition of everything it seems the housekeeping did a really good job cleaning the room. Desk clerks were nice. The owners need to put some money into cleaning up and remodeling the rooms.
