This should be called the "Roach Inn and bedbug suites."
This is truly what it is. What a complete joke of a hotel. I generally don't leave feedback, but I had no choice but to do so after such a horrible experience. Read the feedback before booking and you will see I'm not the only one to say this. I wish I would have beforehand.

Scary atmosphere upon pulling up...room had cobwebs, leaky bathroom or something smelly with dirty wet rag left behind, icky pool area, people walking all over smoking like crazy. Left immediately, especially with young girls in tow. . .Hoping to get a refund based on misrepresentation.

First night woke up around 2am because people were arguing. Then the next night woke up with bug bites on my arm and still dealing with it.

There is a 50.00 room key deposit… you have 10 min from getting the room to make any issues known. No bathtub or shower water. But the sink and toilet worked. The bed was probably comfortable in 1972 but now you could literally hear the rusty springs begging for a landfill. The pillows… 3 of them. Were flat. Folded in half it was still just short of wood. The tv remote is taped together. I stayed because it was close to where i needed to be. Next time i will embrace a longer commute. Desk clerk was nice. And the room fridge worked.

The property was very worn and dirty. The only amenity was the pool, but the rest of the place was so gross that we really didn’t venture to explore much further than our room. The fridge looked like it had never been cleaned, hairs and stains inside of it to the point I didn’t even feel comfortable leaving my food in it. No weather strip on the door, just a huge open crack leading directly outside, so anything can crawl inside and every conversation and sound can be heard. Couch was dirty beyond belief, didn’t even want to sit on it. Consistently strong marijuana smell around the building that never went away throughout our whole stay. No napkins, coffee, silverware, ect. Don’t expect anything in your room except a dirty microwave and fridge. Bathroom from hell, literally imagine a gas station toilet, but add a shower and a sink. The whole experience just left me feeling dirty and I felt uncomfortable staying there but we had no other choice. For how much I paid, I was expecting a clean room at the BARE minimum. I would feel better sleeping in my car next time.

Chambre avec une odeur tenace et insoutenable de renfermée et d’humidité. Personnel qui semble déconnecté. Le motel a l’air mal fréquenté… nous ne recommandons pas cette endroit même si bien placé.1 seule nuit et pas plus

The Internet was not working most of the time. I was on 2nd Floor and there is no elevator. It is very noisy since situated next to the freeway and children screaming constantly.

Completely disgusting. i asked for non smoking room and my room was literally an ash tray. The building was disgusting. there was a woman literally drugged out of her mind sitting outside my door in a lawn chair. There was a stadium quality light over the pool that shined through room all night. We eventually gave up and went to Walmart and bought duck tape to seal the windows. ridiculous. the bathroom was missing a wall... cant even make this up. And the bath tub was cracked to the point where water seeped through it. I wish i could ask for a refund!!!

Customer service was great. Bed was not bad. But overall condition of the hotel was pretty bad. Shower was dirty and barely functional. Bathroom was very old and run down. Not a great location.
