One of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Many extended stay residents up past midnight playing loud music. Room was in disrepair. Do not stay here with children.

Pros (+) The hot tub,pool,breakfast,room was decent. Not enough lounge chairs at the pool.
Cons (-) The staff Arianna,Brianna & Jasmine was nice. Everyone else was not warm & welcoming. The phone in our room wasn’t working. Mgr said she was going to credit my acct but haven’t. the family above us was very noisy & the kids kept running & screaming above us till after 1:30AM. I called front desk 3X. Was able to go back to sleep at 2AM. Will not stay here again.
Pros (+) They had a very good renovated room that they moved us into the last night of our stay. The first two nights we had a dirty carpet, moldy smelling room with holes in the drywall
Cons (-) The first two nights we had a dirty carpet, moldy smelling room with holes in the drywall
Pros (+) rates
Cons (-) dumpy looking. cleaning lady one day was on her cell. i interrupted cuz my key stopped working and she kinda hushed me and just pointed downstairs to the front desk.
Pros (+) The internationals staying there really added to my fun: the languages spoken, children, food area brought us all together. So wifi being sketchy was good too as we had to be in lounge to receive signal ,a result of rare rain storms-also a blessing0, we all visited- the one thing missing in American culture.
Cons (-) O nada
Pros (+) Close to freeway
Cons (-) Requested non-smoking room, but given smoking.
