Nice. Quiet. Went to chico to get away for a few days with my family. Staff was friendly and not bothersome, but available if we needed anything.

Nice place for the price
The lighting needs work and there are outlets that don’t work. Other than that, the staff was very nice and accommodating.

Stay far away.
This was the worst hotel room I have ever had. Nothing worked. The TV,.no plugs, the air conditioners was like being in a jet engine. The front desk guy was unbelievably rude and would not answer questions or even speak to me only my husband. He left right after we checked in and could not get a hold of him.

6/10 Good

Rooms were clean but basic. Beds and pillows not super comfortable. It was a great location and front desk attendant was wonderful. No hair dryer or iron. Pool is small and does not look inviting. Booked last minute and town was sold out so it served its purpose.

Great location but in poor condition
This is a run down hotel in the best downtown location. We had to switch out our room due to a broken bed and noise above. When we got the new room the fridge, microwave and tv didn’t work🙄- the only great thing about the place was the excellent staff service which apologized for the state of ill repair.

One of the two beds was broken. God knows what splattered on the walls in the bathroom that someone maybe swiped at to clean, but it smelled bad and I just didn’t touch anything. I just slept and left.

Most disgusting and dirty hotel i have ever stayed in. This includes some dirty 3rd world countries i have been to. Cool area but this place is DIRTY!!

2/10 Poor

This hotel is really not good. I'd advise to not stay here. We were in town during a busy time and this was one of the last rooms we could find in the area. The bed was so loud and uncomfortable. You could hear and feel the old school springs creaking loudly every time you moved an inch. The TV remote was coated in grime. There was a weird smell in the room. Pros: It was cheap. It didn't feel unsafe, at least. They have big lights in the parking lot to deter car break-ins. Reserved a non smoking room and it didn't smell like smoke. Very easy walking distance to tons of good restaurants. Breakfast diner was great just a block away. Cons: Everything else Loud, hard, uncomfortable beds Dirty Room smelled musty Non working lamp on desk Towels were threadbare and scratchy

This place was not what you would hope for the price, but the staff was friendly enough. Stains on ceiling, weird smell. Bad soap. Bed was not bad, laminate floor was clean.

Would not stay here again or recommend it to anyone. Property looked nice from the outside but the inside was dirty. Water cooler at reception was broken and ice machine was also not working.

2/10 Poor

The place was not clean. Dead bugs on the floors, hair in the sink, stains on the sheets, etc. We really didnt feel comfortable in the room at all. Service at the front desk was pleasant and helpful at check in and that is about the only good feedback I can give. The room is very dilapidated and needs some serious work done to bring it back to standards.

Like the remodel. Comfortable bed. But the bad… floors were sticky, the drapes looked like bodily fluid were on them. Bathroom clean but towels were stained and cheap-understandable for cheapness but not cleanliness

6/10 Good

Meh!
Disappointed room, dingy, the a/c leaked on the floor over night, the lights between the beds were very loose, the plug cover was missing. We reserved for 4 adults, the room only had two small bath towels and the customer service agent at the office was reluctant to hand out more “unless you return the two towels”!! The pool was not open, “speak with the customer service agent after you settle into your room” No recycling bins, had to use major local trash cans.

While the area is not the best part of town. But at least no breakin or anything. Window AC is loud, Linen is old. I guess you get what you paid for. At least the rate is very reasonable.
