    I checked out I told the front desk attendant, and it seems he didn't care about. Showed him the picture and he told that they been spraying. No apologies or any other explanation. He said his was going to talk to his boss.

    My stay was definitely not as expected. The room i had looked absolutely nothing like the rooms in the pics. The shower was not well maintained. The shower faucet was really hard to turn on/off. The shower curtain had stains. The toilet seat shifted side to side. The caulking in the shower was horrible. The light switches were in odd locations. The towels were small, thin and cheap. The wash cloths had stains. The room furniture was really old and looked like something that would have been purchased at a second hand store. The tv required 2 remotes to operate it. The lighting in the room was horrible. The latch to lock the door was broken. The desk light was cheap. The light bulbs in the light fixtures were horrible. The parking lot was small and too tight for anything other than a small compact car. I wish I took pics to post here to validate every one of the concerns i listed. I just wanted to get out of there as soon as I could. However, the person working at the reception desk the night i checked in was very friendly, professional and very nice to me.

    The manager was easy to communicate with, the bed was comfortable and the fridge and microwave worked well. Most of what they promise is a lie. There is no coffee maker, the WiFi was terrible and they just made excuses. It’s on a busy street with no real way to drown out the sound of the traffic and generally speaking the room was not as clean as it should have been. The floor was so dirty our feet were black just from walking on the linoleum floors.

    Worst experience. We came into town and got to the hotel around 10pm. Received our keys no problem. This was a family trip, so my mom had a room, and we had our own room. I walked in w my mom to her room while my husband was getting our bags out of the car. Upon opening the door, there was a roach crawling across the wall. The linens had black stains, the floors had stains and our room smelled of urine. I will tell you that it was bad enough we wouldn't walk on carpet without shoes. We were exhausted, as like i said, we didn't get to the hotel until around 10pm. Because of that we decided to sleep on it. That night, I killed 3 roaches in our room, my mom another roach in hers. We weren't willing to stay. We notified the hotel manager. I can guarantee you he knows the condition of the rooms. While he asked if we wanted another room, based on the sanitation issues in both our rooms, we knew this wouldn't change in any rooms. He stated since we booked w Expedia, we would complain to them and he would go about the refund process. We were willing to pay for the first night, as we did stay. However, he has not answered Expedia's request for refund. Of course!! So, my goal here, is if i help even one person to NOT choose this hotel, I'll be satisfied w that. The pictures taken are NOT a true reflection of the property and rooms. This person has gotten away w our money, please don't fall for it yourself.

    The hotel is a small hotel centrally located in an area close to the freeway and stores. The room had a refrigerator and small microwave. There was plenty of space in the room to move around. There was some trash and food on the floor in the bathroom and sink area. The room did not have enough towels. Housekeeping did bring some after we checked in. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were perfect not too thin not too thick. The staff was helpful and nice. And you could not hear the noise of the construction from the building next-door.

    A pipe burst in the ceiling over the sink and flooded the floor/wet/ruined my clothes. They didn't even offer a refund for my stay and say this has happened before. The toilet had dried/crusted poop on the seat and the microwave was dirty. The shower water didn't get hot at all, probably because the pipe was leaking, so I had to take a luke warm shower. The refrigerator had someones bowl in it full of water...and was filthy with some mystery residue/substance all inside of it and on the outside.

    I paid way too much for this simple motel and I would not stay here again. The free breakfast was bagels and Costco bought rolls with coffee. The beds were comfortable though. I was traveling with my two adult children and they gave us room 220 that has both a King bed and a Queen bed. My 20 year old daughter and I slept in the King bed while my 23 year old son slept alone in the Queen. We stayed for two nights and it was adequate as we were visiting various family members in the area.

    The owner told me check out time STARTS at 11am. The next day as I’m getting dressed after getting out of the shower a man basically barges into my room at 11:05am. There wasn’t a knock, a phone call.... NOTHING. It was as if I was a hardened criminal that needed to be removed immediately. I didn’t have clothes on so I quickly rushed to the door to close it and explain to the man that I needed to atleast put on my clothes before leaving. Needless to say this was my 3rd time using this place over the past few years and it’s certainly my last.

    I arrived at the hotel around 3 AM or so, no one was at the window. There was no phone number on the sign or the window. So I went back to my car which i had to park on the street because there were no parking spaces within the hotel lots. I pulled up my receipt from my phone & called the attendant who opens the door for me finds my reservation which was prepaid. The first thing out of his mouth was check out time is 11 am which to me was rude he should of been asking if I would like a late check out if you ask me. The tub was very tiny and had pubic hairs in it there was no toilet paper in the rest room so i had to use tissue from the box.There was no hot water to wash out the tub or soak. And that was all I had time for was a bath because I was leaving from LAX and had to leave that motel by 5AM to head out to meet my plane. I would appreciate a complimentary stay at one of your best value inn for future use please. Because that was a waste of $120.00 dollars

    I've stayed at this hotel before, but this time I really noticed the problems with it. When I stayed in 112, it seemed mostly OK, though a bit dated. Room 110 put me over to never wanting to stay here again. The comforter was ripped and worn. The pillows were stained yellow and smelled. And the box spring has rust stains on it. If I owned a hotel, this would not be acceptable to me. I would want to have it nice so that I got good reviews. I tried taking photos, but had trouble uploading, so I'm not sure it worked.
