We arrived a bit early but were allowed to check-in early. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is a little older but priced accordingly. The location was very convenient. We would definitely stay here again!

Fine for the price
Tired property. Needs paint, towels not laundered correctly. Bumps and bruises on the walls but to be expected for the price. Good location for exploring the area. Food close by.

The room does not have curtains. A lot of light get in the room that doesn’t let rest well Top of the microwave was dirty. If you wipe the wall, you can tell how dirty the room was, o lot dust.

There was no “coffee available in common areas”; the floors, bed and tub were very aged, and the blow dryer didn’t work. Our own fault for not realizing the noise level so close to the freeway entrance.
