Mother’s Day weekend
Upon entering my room there was a big stain on the carpet. Looked like grease or gum. Coffee maker had leftover water from whoever used last. Breakfast in the morning was a really good surprise. Overall I was happy with this hotel

Good location for accessing things around the area. Even though most of the hotel has been remodeled, parts still seem dated. Property was very clean.

My favorite was the bed- so comfortable! The next was the friendliness of the staff. The complimentary breakfast was extensive and delicious. My only negative was the freeway noise. I would stay there again.

Run down with 8-legged friends
The building is really old and in need of serious updating. The rooms are very rundown. Our room was filled with spiders, I say filled loosely… we found three(!), and there were probably more that we didn’t find. The room and bathroom were super tiny and the shower had no water pressure. The highlight of our stay was the pleasant desk staff.

No elevator!
The elevator was broken and you had to use the stairs it was broken when I got there and broken when I left 3 days later! The towels were to small I had to use two towels after I took a shower to dry myself!
