The staff was friendly. I'm a photographer and was traveling with my family. We got in very late and left really early (so no hanging by the pool). The hotel was clean. Carpets were a bit run down. Even though the main lobby was designated ''no smoking'', there were people smoking in it. Continental breakfast was a joke. Prepackaged muffins and some sketchy looking fruit. The coffee was full of grounds, the juice was completely watered down.

Positives: The staff was friendly and helpful.

Negatives: The continental breakfast was a joke.

We only stayed one night, which is what we intended, and a good deal for the price...it was clean and staff were very friendly..the breakfast was nice as well.

Positives: Hotel was nice and clean, the staff were very friendly, it was a bit run down in certain places but for the price it was good.

I would rather sleep in the airport, after confirming my arrival time of four o'clock they still did not have my room ready and made me wait twenty minutes for what I am not sure it was still both dirty and no ashtray in a smoking room the phones did not work so it was walk from the back of the hotel past the rows of overfilled waste buckets to the desk or rack up minutes on my personnel cell even after complain to the desk which should have made them remember my room number. Two hours later, they handed a gentlemen a room key to my room who walked in on my wife getting out of the shower. The staff and their simple it was an over sight on our part was as empty as the rest of the apart service you get there. No wonder why this once well known chain is so infrequently even spoken of anymore.

Positives: The price, the location.

Negatives: It was dirty, they handed the key to my room to a strange man who walked in on my wife and the roof leaked above my bed the best part was when I left.

They need to fix what is broken and have it ready to be used by there customers. We had to walk from our room to the 2nd floor opposite building to get ice. Three other machines did not work, hello it was 90 degrees out! Plus, again with the weather the pool was closed both in the evening and until after checkout. This was the worst hotel ever that I have stayed at with your company. Also I should mention the evening front staff was more annoyed by customers coming in then helpful, I guess the cell phone call was more important than the job.

Positives: The patio doors off the rooms.

Negatives: Pool wasn't open, 3 ice machines were not working.

This is the stickiest hotel I've been to. No security because all the entrance from the back side are all open. The room is poorly lit and the door is hard to open from the outside. There is a patio but you can't get out. Overall, this is poor quality hotel.

Positives: Parking.

Negatives: Room not well lit, door hard to open, no security.

Hotel as poor, poor upkeep, bad staff and service, and a noticeable pest problem. I would probably have dealt with more literate, knowledgeable and responsive staff. Poor choice to say the least.

Positives: It is available.

Negatives: There were bugs. A cockroach lingered on the ceiling. Ants were in the bed. I am still healing from multiple ant bites on my finger.

It wasn't a so nice experience! But I am no person that will complain unless it is too bad to bare and won't stay there no more!

Positives: Location.

Negatives: No microwaves or refrigerators in my room, but was told tow of each was in my partners room! The ice machine wasn't working on my floor!

Lobby is deceptively decent so we expected the rooms to be decent as well. I had to switch rooms twice because the first room, which was supposed to be a non-smoking room, smelled like smoke; the second room had not even been cleaned. In fact, there were no sheets on the bed! The last room was good but after seeing disaster rooms, I do not recommend staying at this hotel if you can avoid it.

Positives: Receptionist was patient and helpful.

Negatives: Inconsistent room cleanliness. Humid hallways.

Dirty off the freeway motel that did not offer amenities, was moved twice because first room had drug parneiphia left in the room, holes in walls, missing light plates, missing remote and hotel manager and staff were not forthcoming to assist in any way other to move me to another room. I did not feel safe.

Positives: Location close to freeway.

Negatives: Staff, rooms, cleanliness.
