Room was nice and clean. We didnt have the best experience at the beginning. I called the night before if we could do early check in and i was told 2pm would be fine. We stopped by before 2p and we couldnt check in until after 3p they had nothing available. We also wanted to use the bathroom and it was locked and the gentleman said it was only open during breakfast time... other than that everything was great

The room was clean but one of the queen beds was in poor condition. The outlet to charge my phone was broken. There were several young men outside yelling and screaming until almost midnight, which kept me awake and I'm sure everyone else with no staff to enforce the rules if there were any. The second night was more quiet .

I have stayed here before.

This is the 3rd year I have stayed here since moving out of CA and only going back for visits. It's decent enough. Not outstanding and if you like a lot of luxury probably not for you but I find it to be OK to stay. Clean and comfortable
