    They required a $100 cash deposit that I was not told about until I needed to check in. The room was not very clean, the floor was not vacuumed recently. The listing said breakfast was included but they canceled breakfast and offered nothing. The check in and checkout was annoying and slow and the staff were at best incompetent and did not care.

    The room was decent.

    Room smelled of smoke, booked a king room, received a 2 twin, very dirty room and bad area. Required $100 cash deposit which was not listed on booking site. Walls were stained, payed almost $100 for 1 night, that room wasnt worth $20

    Affordable price for downtown, not much else to talk about. quick check in and check out. not much else to say

    There was garbage in front of our door, and it was never removed. The room was old with cigaret burns in the bed spread and the curtains. There were many stains on the floors and walls. You have to pay a deposit of $100 dollars, and a $25 deposit for a tv remote. You get the money back but. . . There was no breakfast of any kind. We spent two night here, and they were two of the worst nights I ever spent.

    waited 10 - 15 minutes to be greeted upon arriving at the window. Staff was surrley when explaining the $100 cash deposit. I was aware of the policy as it was posted many time on all the walls & I had plenty of time to read it during my wait. we need assistance with getting reception on the television, just local channels. Needed assistance with pulling the water on in the shower ( I am a strong 60+ yrs ago woman & I could not pull it to the on position) Very large motel with only approximately 10% filled rate. I would never recommend

    it was close to downtown

    There was a line outside to check in, we stood out in the hot sun for over 40 minutes. Once I started the check in service I found out it was 100 dollar deposit for each room which was not what the booking.com website indicated. The website gave the impression that it was 100 dollar deposit for the entire appointment. After checking in and getting to our rooms we found that one room didn't have any trash cans, while the other room had one. Fridge didn't work in the room with one trash can. Didn't realize that the TV remotes were located in the office until our second night. I realize that due to COVID policies have changed but the lady that checked me in didn't mention anything about the remotes.

    It was a last minute reservation and they still had rooms available.

    Pictures in advertising were deceptive/out dated. The hotel has obviously deteriorated since photos were taken. Tile floor were a cheap replacement for carpet. They were dirty and uninviting.

    There was no breakfast due to COVID. Lobby was locked. Pool was closed..

    The hotel was located right next to the freeway, so it was very noisy. Frontdesk has no one present, and can only be reached via a little open window. People coming and going at this place also don't seem very pleasant. Only there for 1 night for work, so, can't complain much

    Both at checking and at check out, employees are behind a window and you can see them ignoring your ringing. At check-in, they're asking for a deposit, which is not mentioned on booking (100$). The included breakfast wasn't offered for some reason. I had picked this hotel because of the breakfast so I'm pretty mad about that one. The pool listed in the equipment was closed and it seems it has been closed for a while. It was really hot also.. There were a bunch of people wandering around or hanging out in the hotel parking at night, right in front of my room sometimes, playing loud music, yelling, smoking and throwing out their cigarettes buds everywhere, and most disturbingly : looking at you like you weirdly when you pass by. The room smelled terrible, by far the worst smelling room I've ever ever experienced. It was dusty and old. The bathroom was dirty beyond reasonable and shower was hard to figure out.

    Surviving the night.

    The room that was booked under a different name. Took a while to figure out. The room we booked had no hot water (dbl/dbl). Given the choice of a king bed with hot water or dbl/dbl without hot water. No discount The electronic door lock didn't work. Needed an employee to unlock every time we left the room. Bathroom tile was not clean, shower was rust stained. Bring flip flops
