  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The staff was very friendly and the breakfast included both hot and cold items. Room was neat and clean.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The food was good, warm food was warm and cold food was cold. The Room was comfortable and clean. The pool was not heated and thus it was ice cube cold. Kids - liked the pool. Adults - we need to be pampered. The cushions that you sit on in the dining room need a good cleaning, as well as under the tables.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The carpet and floors were stained and the rooms smelled like stale cigarettes with perfume. You had to request towels and room cleaning or else they would not check the rooms smelled

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

  • Engine customer May 2026

    There was a hole in the ceiling and duct tape on the bathroom mirror. I probably wouldn’t have written a bad review for those two things, but the shower was not hot… the water was warm m/cool at best. When I told the front desk attendant she giggled and said she would tell maintenance. I would not stay there again.

    5 star to me.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    We stayed for one night and had a relatively good experience. We did end up getting a ground-floor room, which ended up being very noisy. When booking, I did not know this hotel was in a commercial parking lot and was butted up to several restaurants like IN -N-OUT. Since there is a lot of foot traffic here, and me being a light sleeper, it wasn't the best experience. I will say, however, the bed was soooo comfy, and the pillows have been the best I've experienced recently. The room was clean and comfortable, A/C'd perfectly upon arrival, well decorated, and suited our needs perfectly. The showerhead had a drip, which was super noisy due to the metal drain right under it, but it's nothing a spare towel can't fix. The continental breakfast was good, including sausage patties, boiled eggs, a waffle bar, and a full oatmeal, bread, and cereal station. The only issue I had was that the boiled eggs were not peeled, and the other eggs were a cheese and egg omelet. Being lactose intolerant, I was a little disappointed in that. However, the rest of the food was pretty good. The staff was nice, the pool is mid (basically in the parking lot), workout room looked fine. All in all, I would stay here again but reguest a higher room than the floor level.
