Place is ok. Just a lot of noise all night. It’s an older place that’s been modernized, so it doesn’t have concrete floors - which can make the noise from the neighbors upstairs an issue. Faucet was also extremely noisy. Hotel next door is under construction , so more noise. Water pressure in the shower was low. Yellow stain on the sheet above the mattress (but below the main sheet you sleep on. Mattress was comfortable, location was OK. Front desk reception and checkout was excellent. Plenty of parking.

The property managers at this motel are wonderful, hard working folks. I’d go again just because of them! The place is old and you get what you pay for, but I loved it. It has character. Very conveniently located. Great restaurants nearby (Mexican).

DO not book go to the Marriott
The bathroom and sink was not in the same room. False advertisement on the square footage. The air conditioner did not work and either did the television or WiFi. Had to move rooms at 930 pm and had to pay $572 dollars for a hotel in the hood.

BEWARE
Beware…..Hotels.Com say “Pet Friendly” However, the “hotel” charges $50.00 per dog per day. I am unsure how they get away with this charge as to SB 487. The hotel was nothing special, the rooms were extremely small for 3 people, the staff were friendly and helpful. I would not return.

Bare bone on amenities, but with the price, that is expected. The coffee is available in the office and the office is not always open. Staff was very friendly. When we got there in the late afternoon, the room seemed a bit noisy, but at night, perhaps, it was because I was very tired, but my wife and I heard almost nothing and slept great. We will definitely be back.
