If you’re looking for a longer term stay, and you’re hauling everything you need to cook, store, and eat meals - this may be a good place for you because there’s a kitchenette. The hotel is clean and the staff are nice, but that’s where the positives end.
Want coffee in your room? A coffee maker is extra. So are utensils, plates and cookware. Have allergies and need tissue? You’ll need to use the 1-ply toilet paper. There’s no boxed tissue. Like a blanket on your bed? You’ll get 2 thin sheets. Want free WiFi? Got to hotspot your phone or pay extra. Have a dog along for your stay? Great! Dogs are allowed - any size of dog. In fact, if you own a pit bull, you’ll be in good company here. Our 2 small dogs were nearly attacked by an aggressive pit bull getting off the elevator as its owner struggled to hold the leash. Lots of big dogs on site. We woke up one morning to find a big load of fresh dog poop outside our door.
The hotel is also very close to Interstate 5. It was so noisy all night, we didn’t fall asleep until 3:30 am (from pure exhaustion). We bought earplugs for our 2nd night. Those helped.
As other reviewers have stated, this hotel is clearly a hotel providing long term stays for people down on their luck. We didn’t have any problems with the folks using it as a temp residence. They were all pretty quiet. We’ve encountered much noisier people in more expensive hotels. There is a lot of smoking outside, however.
It’s really more of a hostel than hotel.
