I'm pee and it's not a real fancy place. The room's clean and very nice. It's close to the freeway and but the staff. I don't think they were very pleasant upon arrival and explain their services to you. Everything was on a piece of paper stuck to the window of the front office

Nothing positive to say about this property. Tried to get refund to move to another hotel but front desk refused. Other guests next to use came back at 3:30am and were loud and obnoxious. Extremely Bad neighborhood & would feel safe walking any time of day. Saw man urinating in public during day time. Shower never got hot, it was luke warm at best. TV only able to get 1 station. We would not recommend this hotel.
