    Room was clean and updated, checkin and check out was easy, staff was nice, breakfast area was small but was ok. Restaurants and stores are close by. Water Conservation Garden and Heritage of the Americas Museum were close by. Online the property looks nicer but overall our stay was pleasant.

    The rooms were not clean, mats were bad. Staff was not cooperative in assigning room. Breakfast was laughable, just milk, cereal, bread and muffins. Serving plates and bowls were really thin , made of cheap quality.

    Nothing only a hispanic lady from the office and a gentleman in the office for check out in the morning, they were both friendly and kind. God bless their heart. One hindu lady who was very rude to me when I was just walking out my room to check out and she seemed to be a cleaning lady. No hot water. The tv control was missing the battery cap. And the tv only had one channel. It's very noisy in the mornings because of morning commute. I just honestly would never stay there again and I had my family with me and my children didn't like it at all either.

    The room was nice, carpet a little soiled. The remote was found under the mattress cover as I guess the person cleaning the room forgot it was there. The television didn't work on cable so couldn't watch television. I told the front desk person in the morning about the television, and he acted like it really didn't care. Not much of a breakfast but due to the price of the hotel, I didn't expect much. I probably wouldn't stay there again.

    The hotel was fine but the neighborhood is terrible. I pulled in late and found a person parked in the lot trying to get my attention by saying violent murmurs. So strange how you can find drunk people walking around on the street in front at any hour. The majority of non chain restaurants are cash only. All pointing to a different town for me on my next trip.

    Rooms were clean. We were asked to stay in 1 bed instead of two bed. We were ok with that due to a pullout couch. However there wasn't enough towels for 3 people. Asked 3 times in two days before we finally got an extra towel. The outside was not very clean. There was food in the stairs that someone spilled the entire 3 days we were there.

    Terrible. I don’t know what’s going on here but the staff that was there on our 3rd night wouldn’t give us towels after a long day at SeaWorld. The man the day prior gave us towel on problem with no questions asked. He said towels on that 3rd night were $20. I don’t know if he was trying to pocket the money? The next morning at checkout, we followed up and the employee said they did not charge for towels. The room also smelled horribly of cigarette smoke and there are lots of shady looking people around. Don’t stay here for a family trip. It’s ridiculous and they lie. Expedia tried to help but the hotel didn’t care to resolve the complaint.

    It is not a new motel, and I was disappointed that there wasn't a pool, but when I booked, I didn't check. The room itself was clean and well-kept. Minimalist in decor. I usually bring items to make it more homey and cozy, so I appreciated that I didn't have to work in a color scheme with poor taste. The staff was helpful and efficient at check-in. I didn't need them for anything else. The area around the motel was dirty and a little blighty. Businesses not in business, and some homeless individuals. I wouldn't have felt comfortable walking around the neighborhood. It was convenient to get to the freeway, places to eat, and some shopping by car.
