Disgusting Hotel – Not Worth a Single Night The moment we pulled up, we knew something was off. The area felt sketchy, the kind of place that makes you keep an eye over your shoulder. But we had a reservation, so we gave it a shot—big mistake. The first room we got smacked us in the face with a strong cigarette smell and musty air, like it hadn’t been aired out in years. The floors were sticky, either from too many cleaning chemicals or something worse we didn’t want to think about. Breathing in there felt wrong. We asked for another room, hoping for at least a small improvement, but it was just as bad—same nasty smell, same uncomfortable vibe. We sat there for about 20 minutes trying to convince ourselves to stay, but the more we looked around, the clearer it became: no way were we sleeping there. Instead of wasting a night in that mess, we packed up and drove all the way back home to San Jose. This place is dirty, smelly, and just straight-up unpleasant. No deal or discount would make it worth it. If you care at all about safety and cleanliness, do yourself a favor—stay somewhere else.

Nothing is far away, but you get what you pay for.

Just understand where you are staying. I knew what I was paying for. Let's just say I slept with the lights on for the first time in a hotel ever.

If there were negative stars I would give it. Pictures of rooms were not accurate. Very rundown gross rooms in a not safe area

The location of the hotel is a little sketchy. Although, there were a few good food spots & bars nearby we didn't feel very safe around the area leaving our car or valuables in the hotel at all. The "suite" for 5 people located on the 2nd floor that we got was at the very corner of the hotel. The first night we got there to sleep, there was a bunch of footsteps going back & forth for hours up to the point we were so tired we didn't care or bother calling the office. The next morning, we woke up really early to get ready at 6-7am, we can hear heavy footsteps again like there was a bunch of people moving furnitures above us. We ended up calling the office 3x and they said they were going to send security to check these people up there. We waited to see if it would stop but it didn't, so I tried to call the main office again & it seemed like they blocked my calls from the room telephone from going through their office phone and would even hang up to avoid talking to me about the situation that we kept hearing the loud food steps. All in all, we were very annoyed about how loud you can hear those footsteps and beware of the total price if you booked it from online/third party so expect that extra $25 charge for parking (per night) when they ask for payment at the window. They also give you very few shower towels. With a 5-person suite, we got 3 shower towels only! Don't be deceived by the pictures, it looked just like a cheap motel and the room smelled like sweat.

Don’t Get Catfished By The Property Photos

Hotel did not look anywhere as clean as the photos displayed. Shower head was broken, front door to room and bathroom door did not close properly, and the mini fridge had a leak. The leak led to our discovery of cockroaches and cockroach eggs. Once discovered, we demanded a refund and management refused. Area looked pretty unsafe at night as well. Do not recommend this hotel AT ALL.

They lie in the photos, the property is dirty, the windows cannot be closed, it is very unsafe to be there. The people from the floor above live there and they were very noisy in the early morning, very very bad experience.
