The hotel was ok and room was a good size and clean. The area around was dirty and lots of homeless. The parking is free but not guaranteed and very limited. If are looking for a good price and close enough to uber this will work. We wont stay here again due to the area and parking situation.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS PROPERTY. I am not someone who usually writes reviews, however my stay here was not enjoyable. The room was dirty with spiders, holes in the wall and furniture and dirt covered floors. The location is unsafe and nearby the freeway so there is constant road noise. The room looked nothing like the advertised pictures. Sheets had holes in them and there was only one light fleece blanket on the bed. Towels were thin, stained and slightly bigger than a hand towel in size. Everything was damaged and dirty from the shower curtain, towel racks, furniture, walls and doors. Parking was limited and difficult to access. Staff were unresponsive when Expedia reached out to address these concerns. You would be better off to stay just about anywhere other than this hotel.

Lack of proper seal on doors

Do not book here! These photos are so out of date. It looks nothing like the pictures. The room was absolutely disgusting and we couldn’t even get a refund to go somewhere else. There was hair everywhere, the floors were sticky and it’s so run down. There were holes in our sheets and blankets. When asked to get fresh sheets and towels, the said “well housekeeping left so I can’t do anything”. Ruined our weekend getaway. We felt so gross even after showering in the morning. This place will be getting reported to the health department. Not to mention the blood stain we found on the curtains. I think we would’ve been better off sleeping at the homeless encampment next door.
