The room we had was so inadequate, no door on closet, electrical outlets with no plates on it. Hallways were dirty as was elevator. One elevator was out it order just like a year ago when we stayed there. This hotel should be closed until they finish renovations. Fire alarm went off and we couldn’t hear in our room, never bothered to check on guests.worst hotel ever.

The hotel was an OK place to spend the night. It does look like it hasn't been updated in a few years. The amenities were worn and dirty. My room was clean overall, but I did notice an ant on my bed when I got up in the morning and a couple crawling on the AC. If you need a place to crash go for it, if you are looking for a better than average place, this isn't it.

My mother ended up staying with me, who is in a wheelchair, and the staff accommodated us with an accessible room semi last minute which was appreciated. The only complaint is the doors to the hallway aren’t accessible via a push door to open which would have been nice in consistently bringing the wheelchair in and out and having to manage opening the door and pushing the wheelchair thru. The room was great, comfortable beds, a zillion channels. The pool area looked nice. The breakfast was pretty standard and frequently stocked. Parking was ample, close to freeway and restaurants.
