The hotel was packed with noisy kids and when I went to check out early I got the boilerplate policy I’ll have to eat the second night. I couldn’t sleep the first night. The rooms were mediocre and the staff were unhelpful. I won’t be staying here again and will be recommending to others that they don’t stay here.

I am sorry to hear that your experience was less than expected. This is the time of year that we have lots of groups in-house. We do our best to make sure every guest is comfortable while here. Some of our rooms do indeed have Laminate Vinal tile in them that lots of our guests prefer, I am sorry that you did not. The beds are in the process of being replaced, with over half of them already replaced and more on the way. As for the no refund, when you book through a third party site we have to abide by their rules. I do hope you will try us again, if not I hope you find a suitable place for your needs.

The property in its entirety had so much “air freshener” you could hardly breathe. The first room we were booked into smelled severely of cigarette smoke. We requested a room change and the second room was just pure air fresheners. If you have any sort of breathing conditions or allergies I would not recommend this hotel.

We have paid 4x the rate for a much less comfortable, less clean, stay. It's not the Ritz, but an older building close to the freeway and railroad tracks, and we couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. It was clean and comfortable.

This hotel was just a bed to sleep in while waiting for daylight to go over the pass. I wasn’t expecting much. The room was clean but the person who ran the front desk also ran breakfast. Everyone has bad days and I know that, but he seemed to be having a really rough day and could use time to go home shower and change. Please take care of your employees. My only other complaint is the shower had no water pressure so it was like standing under a hose.
Response from Lisa M on Jan 22, 2024
My apologies about that. My front desk does not take care of the breakfast here so I am not sure who you would be speaking of unless it was one of our breakfast attendants one of whom is a male. I will be sure to speak to him about the service issues that you have reported. Thank you for letting us know.

Property advertised a on bedroom suite and separate living are. There was no door between the two. One TV in the bedroom area. This room was not as advertised. No carpet on the floor either. You get what you pay for and this lives up to that.

I am sorry that you were not happy with your accommodations. This suite is exactly as pictured and as advertised. All the pictures that show the floor show you are LVT (luxury vinyl tile) flooring. We do not advertise more than one tv in the room.

Economical, Processed breakfast options
The room was clean, and the staff friendly. The breakfast is mainly packaged processed sweets. The waffles are not good. They were mushy and rubbery. No protein such as eggs or sausage like other chains (Holiday Inn Express). They serve yoplait, but its not yogurt as it doesn't have the probiotic cultures added, so it's flavored milk/sugar mixed with corn starch to thicken it. Good place for a quick stop for rest but don't count on having a good tasting breakfast or served even semi healthy breakfast options.

Thank you for your review of our property. We are an economy hotel which is not at all like a Holiday Inn or Holiday Inn Express. This is why the breakfast is not comparable as the rate are not comparable. Thank you again for your comments we appreciate it!

Thank you for your comments. We are an economy hotel however the breakfast that we offer is above what is required. We do this to provide more options for our guests. You have to be willing to pay a higher price at a different type of hotel to get the type of breakfast that you are looking for.
