Overall decent place to rest and relax. Many nearby options for most anything you want to do, the area is not really walking friendly however. The staff is always friendly.

Hotel is in bad need of an overhaul and not done by 12 year olds like the previous “update” was. The musty smell is something to behold. I am just grateful I was exhausted so I was able to sleep. The gal I spoke with on the phone the morning of my checkin was fantastic. The other two seemed to not be the biggest fans of working there. But it is only the second worst hotel I have slept in. The other was just outside of LAX airport and that one I honestly expected to be murdered in my sleep.

An exterior door to the court yard was off the hinges and blocked off by yellow tape. Windows hard broken blinds visible from outside. Overall dirty and dilapidated. Right next to a truck stop people milling about the parking lot, openly drinking and intoxicated. This is a place no one should ever stay at, unless you are involved in trafficking!

It is close to most things you could want. But not really walking friendly, and the parking lot could use some work.

As has been my prior experience at this location. Everything was fine, staff was nice as usual. The only complaint I had was at check in, the room was not ready, I had to wait about 20 minutes so they could hurry up and get a room ready. This has happened to me before at this specific location.

They were still cleaning rooms at check in time. Some people had to come back at a later time. There was used feminine products in the parking lot. Chipped, missing, dirty tiles in the main hall. I wouldn’t stay there again.
