Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: the wood blinds - hard to close and needed to be tightened so light coming in/privacy was an issue; no plug for tub so child could not take a bath; water either super hot or lukewarm due to faucet handle - also needed to be tightened or repaired; floor and TV remote filthy; could hear neighbors TV so difficult to get a good nights rest Liked: bedside spot light for reading and bathroom mirror was a nice modern touch; continental breakfast decent but had to ask about it.

Pros: price, clean room, comfortable bed, microwave, fridge. Cons: noisy location, poor water pressure and temperature, no curtains, only low quality shutters so lots of light when sleeping. Probably wouldn't stay again.

Room was ok, a little pricey in my opinion. Located right infront of a homeless encampment. There was tape on the blinds, the shower knobs were so loose and difficult to get any type of correct temperature because of it. The tv did not work at all (kept losing the signal the whole stay) so that was a inconvenience. Then around 12am we got cold and called front desk to see if we could get an extra blanket and they said no mam’ we are closed lol. So I don’t know about that part. Only good part of our stay was the jetted tub, it was a great size and jets actually worked. Would come back if I had a discounted price or promo but not full price.

Gave us Consideration after midnight
I want to rate this hotel and the whole staff for accommodating us even if we check in after their regular hours. We checked in almost past 1am although their policy was the check in hours is between 3pm and 12mn. I asked for a consideration and favor to one of the staff when I called they asked what time we could arrived and they still accepted us after past midnight. Thank you to all the management of this Hotel.

The bed was EXTREMELY hard! The room has a smell to it. The shower didn't stay hot...it was safe enough for a toddler to shower with the knob turned all the way on heat. The breakfast was frozen waffles, hard boiled eggs, cold cereal, a few slices of bread, envelopes of oatmeal and 3 green apples. The room didn't look like what was shown on line. I hate I chose this place in the end. I learned you can't always go CHEAP. Worse TWO days ever.

Poor customer service
Got to the motel about 1:30 PM. Drove up from southern California, so it was a long trip. I asked if I could have an early check-in, as there appeared to be few cars in the drive-way and some empty rooms. I was told "no". I then asked if I could use a restroom and was told that "there are no public toilets" (on the premises). I responded that ,"I will be a customer, soon"> The clerk suggested that I go across the street to a fast food restuarant. I was not happy with that lack of cooperation.
