Disappointing accommodations
The staff were very friendly and nice, however, the room itself was more than disappointing. Our initial room had a water leak and had a very bad odor, the staff was able to move us to another room, but it wasn’t better. The bed and towels were thin and smelly, the pillows were barely thicker than cardboard, and the overall facilities were more than dated. The inn is not worth the price per night.

This hotel fit all of my family’s needs for our trip. Having a Chevron gas station right next door also helped.

Check-in was easy, dining close by, it was quiet after 10pm. The only drawback is the chlorine odor in the room was intense.

I liked that there were two property options across from eachother. Our room was a double room with 2 tvs. It was clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.

Ellen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Property location was convenient. But on a very busy street with a lot of loud traffic. Also right next to a popular restaurant with loud patio seating. Area was clean and felt safe. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately it really needs updates and a deep clean. The TV remote only turned it on and off and the volume up and down. Wouldn't do anything else no matter what I tried. The best thing is that it's pet friendly.
