The room was not that clean when we checked in. Hot water took forever to get to sink or shower. There were no electric outlets on the bed side and others did not work. Also shower head was spraying all over due to a damaged hose and missing washer. (I fixed myself)

Although the room was clean the staff was very rude to my son and myself telling us to wait for check-in outside because their customers were coming in as if we weren't!

Get there and was told there was a 50 dollar deposit when nowhere on the site did it say anything about that. I paid deposit and when i checked out was told it would go back to my card to find out it never did. The ac in the room was so loud it sounded louder then an air compressor when its turned on. You couldnt talk without yelling and even then it was hard to hear. Not worth it all. Over priced

Dirty hotel room
Found a syringe 💉 in the hotel room. Hair in the fridge. My feet were black after walking to my suitcase after getting out of the shower. I dont think the room had ever been swept or cleaned. Dust and dirt on everything. Towels were old and ratty. Check out was at 1030 but it seems they dont use the time to clean. Traveled from Sacramento and wanted to stay near the airport. Reviews and pictures seemed to check out but would not recommend after staying there.

Could be better but could be a lot worse.
This hotel is not fancy but not horrible either. If you're on a budget this place will do just fine. If you're trying to impress someone on a weekend getaway i would not recommend this place for that.

Dreary room, poor lighting, no lights for bedtime reading, door locks inadequate and old and poorly maintained, dirty behind bathroom sink faucets, shower not draining property as water builds up, no place to hang clothes. Surrounding area okay, mixed kinds of businesses.
