Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere was nice and quiet. Although the location seemed a bit run down with some homeless individuals nearby, the convenience factor cannot be ignored. The service was good with courteous staff, although it was evident they were a bit overworked. The dining experience was excellent with a variety of options, exceeding my expectations. The facilities were well-maintained, offering a pleasant stay overall. The value for money was reasonable considering the amenities provided.
The hotel has a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had an overpowering smell of bleach initially but were eventually comped after some unpleasant incidents. The in-and-out access to the room was convenient.
The hotel is conveniently located just off the freeway, making it easy to access all the restaurants and late-night eateries nearby. The rooms were comfortable despite the absence of WiFi and the unexpected $150 deposit charge. The presence of tiny ants in the room was quite a nuisance, though.
