Making a reservation on the phone with the property was, let's just say, one that took a bit of patience. The female front desk agent seemed rattled easily and was quite curt with answering my questions about the location and extent of remodeling the property had undergone.
Check-in was smoother as I checked-in during the shift after that female front desk agent. The male front desk agent who performed the check-in was far more informative and courteous. Even he concurred that the female front desk agent to whom I referenced was short on patience as she also worked as a kindergarten teacher (strange as I would think one who is a kindergarten teacher would need to have tons of patience).
I was informed that my room was one of the renovated ones ... but the carpet had some tears and black marks and the kitchen countertop had quite a few burn marks as well. And the kitchenware (pots/pans/dishes) that was in the cabinents were heavily stained.
The room was quite cramped and the bed was pretty lumpy and not conducive for a good night's sleep.
On the plus side, the bathroom clearly had new fixtures and curtains and was clean.
For the convenience factor, there was a Wal-mart nearby. « less

This looked cute on the website but it is a motel. It did have a kitchen area but I didn't need it and would have prefered a nicer room. It didn't have any amenities. I had to ask the front desk for a blow dryer and they had a bunch of mixed dryers, it looks like previous guests left them and the hotel just kept them for future use. The back of the door was so filthy I didn't want to touch it. The room smelled like old people (sorry old people), the bed was marginal and the pillows cheap. I guess it is my fault, I booked it on hotels.com and have never stayed in this chain before. It is not worth over a hundred a night that I paid. I'm a "hotel" girl, love the Marriott, Hyatt, Embassy Suites etc. So this is my fault for not knowing that this is a low end chain. The staff was friendly and wonderful. The poor check in guy was taking a manual reservation when I walked in and his system was down and another guest was asking for change. I was just patient but I felt for him. He was still very nice. « less

I guess the best I can say, is that for a 5 week stay, the long-term rate was good, and the location ... Close to shopping, restaurants, and freeways was great. It's a nice area. But the rooms themselves show serious wear and the cleanliness was not good. « less

Thank you for your recent review, and wanted to take a moment to respond. Our company prides itself on excellent guest service, so it was gratifying to read your feedback about our staff. I would like to give you my most heartfelt apology regarding the part of your stay that was not satisfactory. As this hotel’s manager, I challenge our staff to continually improve the experience of our guests, from the cleanliness of our rooms, to the courteous professionalism of our staff. Unfortunately, in your situation, it is clear that we were unsuccessful in achieving these goals. Given our belief that guests like you are our most valuable asset, this failure is particularly troubling. Your review has caused us to take a serious look at the systems we have in place to handle our day to day operations and we will be making modifications as appropriate. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us.
