Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was near the highway, noisy, no so clear. Dated room, the cleaning workers were nice and friendly. The elevator broke down two times while I was there also on the dungeon floor I stayed at there’s no way to take a stairway exit up to it from ground level overall it’s a old dated hotel with limited customer service unless you wanna pay for mediocre breakfast or mediocre dinner don’t recommend

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I liked how the staff was very friendly, the breakfast was great and everything was clean. A few downsides include - our room and some of the common areas needed a refresh - stains and scratches on furniture, chipped paint and the doorstop and elevator up/down button needed fixing. Our bed was creaky. The person at the front desk was friendly but didn't give us breakfast coupons or other information and didn't tell us about the wifi. Our room was very close to the freeway and the windows didn't sufficiently mask the noise.
