I rarely complain about hotel experiences, but I feel people should be aware of serious safety issues at this property. After midnight of our first night at this hotel, someone was aggressively knocking on doors and shouting names in the middle of the night for hours. It was frightening. We of course tried to call the staff, but there were no staff members available after midnight — they leave at 12 — which meant there was absolutely no one on site to help. We felt stuck and helpless, with no support from the hotel, and ultimately had to call the police ourselves. This isn’t just about comfort or noise — it’s about safety. A hotel’s first and foremost responsibility is to provide a secure environment for its guests, and this place failed to do so. Tomorrow morning we naturally just packed and checked out and moved to a better hotel (we booked this for three nights). Adding to the frustration, management only refunded the nights we didn’t stay, but not the nightmare night we endured. I think it’s obviously unreasonable to expect guests to pay for a night like that. But they didn't seem to care. Also, be aware: you should not expect a normal hotel or even an inn experience here. This is essentially a low-grade room rental, and I totally failed to notice that when booking. If safety, service, or basic hotel standards matter to you, I cannot recommend staying here.
Overall, the experience lives up to my expectations and hospitality needs. The staff are courteous and attentive, with the check-in/out process being smooth and efficient. My room was clean, well-appointed, and comfortable. The location was convenient, offering easy access to a myriad of nearby independent or privately owned businesses.
This is an efficient place to stay if youre traveling for work or planning to spend a fun day out. Decent location, walkable and convenient
Room was clean, beds were super comfy but it got warm in the room. Couldn’t figure out how to turn AC on. There was noise from the nearby freeway but they provided earplugs.
This was not what we were expecting. We paid for two nights but decided to find a different place to stay.
