The staff was amazing, helpful and great communication. Both desk people were awesome, they made requests very easy. The rooms could have been cleaner, but the housekeeping staff were wonderful. They definitely made the trip better. It was a very busy weekend in Chico for the family weekend so they were completely booked. Great restaurants and coffee shop in walking distance. Walking to downtown Chico was easy and comfortable.

Some of the clientele was very questionable. The employees were all very nice and even had to intervine with questionable tenants. The location was great for my needs. Next time I'll try the place across the street or around the corner. The door jambs on some of the rooms look like the door had been kicked in, door was fine, but the jamb leaves a question of what happened.

Really great front desk staff. The young man who was a Chico state student was great 10/10. Room was not super clean & it was dated....but what can you expect? Definitely a budget hotel. You can walk to campus within 15 minutes, downtown in 5. Great location

The only thing good I can say about the place was the young man that checked us in. He was extremely friendly and helpful. As for the room, it was dirty. The shower curtain was all dirty and stained. There were no towels. The refrigerator didnt work and there was old food in it. In one of the drawers there was a big dirty stain and used straws. In the closet, the extra blanket was literally just thrown on shelf not folded and there were cigarettes on the floor. The floorl didnt look vaccumed or moped in bathroom. Lastly, the walls were dusty and dirty all along bottom.
