No tiene closet, ni caja fuerte, el hotel es de 2 pisos y no tienen elevador, solo escaleras. Lo demás bueno, limpio, con buen mantenimiento estructural

    This was an exceptionally well-run hotel. Staff was friendly, attentive and professional. This is a motel, rather than a hotel. So, no lobby to sit and relax in. No fitness center. No dedicated eating area. So this is not a spot for "road warriors". But for the casual, frugal business traveler or for those travelling for personal reasons, it is a jewel.

    Overall, it was a decent one night stay. You get what you pay for. I got the smokers room (bad choice by me). Bed sheets & comforter had smoker cherry burn holes in them. I called front desk for a new comforter and they bought one in less than 10 mins. TV was mounted crooked. Right by the freeway, so can get noisy at times. I wouldn’t pay any more than I did to stay here again and would only stay here for 2 nights max.

    I like the friendliness of the staff and how they keep it clean, that's probably hard to do when it's a by-the-night hotel, and also I forgot meds and I was able to come and get them from the staff-- they kept them in storage. so nice The A/C was not working fast enough to my liking.

    That's being said, there were 4 very flat pillows on the bed, no breakfast at all (except for coffee, and we got in there with a full hour left of "breakfast time." One of the faq is about rooms with hot tubs, and the answer is, "yes, each room has a deep soak bathtub in it." Maybe the term is a very loose translation.....

    1. I was unaware my room was on the second floor and asking for a first floor room was not an option. I am 5 feet tall, weighting 120 lbs, with a bag that weights 55 lbs, no elevator either, so going up and down with my luggage was VERY difficult. I would had appreciated if BEFORE I book it should had been noted so I can make an informed decision. 2. The “breakfast” is coffee/tea/water at the counter 24/7 with fruit and energy bars of your choosing. Although it’s unlimited, being that it was an hotel, not an airbnb, I was expecting a Continental or buffet breakfast sort of what you will find in a popular chain. This also was not noted in the description of the services. It says “breakfast included” with for me it can be deceiving. Breakfast means different things for different people and I was expecting something different instead of a grab and go snack. Other than that, everything was perfect. Spacious and clean room, quiet, free parking. I will book again unless I find something on the same price range with what i would call breakfast.

    Check in and check out was fast, easy and friendly. The room was spacious, super clean and remodeled. The bed was firm with a very thin bedspread and flimsy pillows. Blackout curtains were good. Mini fridge, microwave and TV were all clean and worked properly. Shower water and pressure were good. Very few amenities. Breakfast was coffee, tea, small bottled juices, packaged muffins, cereal bars, apples and bananas. Parking was easy and clean. Never heard another guest. Area was safe, clean and convenient. About 20 minutes from downtown. Would recommend, but the lack of amenities did not match the price point. Overall a good stay.

    Excellent value for the price I bed. The rooms were nice, very clean, and appeared to be recently renovated. Please note the property does not have an elevator. So if you are unable to walk up stairs reserve a ground floor room. Also, there is no breakfast available. However, the hotel is near City Centre, restaurants, and located behind Wal-Mart. The room has a mini fridge and microwave too. I highly recommend this property for budget conscious travelers. It's a good bang for your buck. One last thing parking is limited to guests.

    It needs either more than one small one or one larger trash can.... And the complimentary breakfast was not much of a breakfast.. juice and a banana. Isn't much of a breakfast. More like a small for the morning and off you go. Other than that it was clean and quiet and we liked the large walk in showers.

    This seems like a new, clean property. The rooms are spacious & have laminate flooring, which I prefer to germ-ridden carpet. Mini fridge & small microwave included. There are two quirky issues in the design of the room - both bedside valances operate on one switch so can’t just turn one out or on, it has to be both on or both off. And the bedside plugs are inconveniently far from the bed, so bring a long charging cord. The property is very well-lit at night & the black out curtains do a good job. Oh, and the bed is super firm. On-site staff was nice, helpful & available.

    Room was very nice; large open space. Clean modern looking furniture. Walk-in shower. The best part was the ultra-firm bed.
