My true honest experience. I never do reviews but this place really bothered me. They completely misrepresented themselves and I feel scammed.
The profile in hotels.com showed a pool and hot tub, neither worked and we were told they hadn't worked in years and they had no idea when they would work again. It also showed fresh eggs and bacon being served with the continental breakfast, which we were told they don't do.
No elevators (not a big deal but i should be noted) no ice machines working or vending machines.
The profile online is for show. That is not the hotel you will be staying in.
I chose a deluxe king room with a fire place. Fireplace did not work. Very dated room. Lots of carpet staining. The ac is on the same wall as the bed headboard which made it vibrate when you laid down. The bathroom door did not close because it was missing the small piece that latches and keeps it closed. The bedroom door did not have the swing lock/latches just felt a little unsafe. Stains on the bedding. Smoke detectors had bags over them. The bathtub had the drain overflow thing removed so it was just an open hole. The bathroom had a window, but no screen.
There is a liquor store next to it and alot of people gather at night in the area. Definitely drug use being done in the area. I personally did not feel safe.
Overall I wish that hotels would present honestly and I wish Hotels.com audited these places for accuracy. Because if that was the case I would not have chosen this hotel.

Our room had a non-working heater/air conditioner. The plumbing went out on our first night, being temporarily fixed by the next morning. Luckily, our party had a nearby room with no plumbing issues at the time, that we were able to use. Our room’s plumbing went out again on the second night. On the morning of check out the plumbing actually went out on the entire first floor at about 6am! Customer service was great considering the stressful circumstances. The rooms themselves were decent and clean. Also, room cleaning is only offered on a 3 or more day stay. I had to demand room cleaning due to the plumbing issues. Until this facility fixes it’s serious plumbing issues, I would not recommend staying there.

This place has gone waaaaaaaay down hill since last year. There's squirt marks of blood on the ceiling where heroin junkies empty their syringes. The walls are nasty. The water pressure in the shower is non-existent.

The bathroom room didn't close all the way do they could see in. This was a stay with family so it was awkward to use the bathroom knowing that they could see and hear abd smell everything going on in the bathroom

The first room was very clean, but the toilet was broken, and the maintenance person was not available. We were promptly moved to another room, however it was not as nice or as clean. The drapery was hanging off the rod and we had to clip it with a hanger to keep it closed. The heater was not working, but since we already knew maintenance was not available, we did not report it.

The property was convenient for our trip to Monterey county. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable for sleep. The staff was friendly and we were able to check in early.
But the property is overused and should be reconstructed. The jacuzzi is closed off. Breakfast was self serve continental. It took (I timed it) 10 minutes for hot water to reach our room #125. The microwave short out and would only work if you held the wire coming out the back.
We are not super fussy people and the stay was what we paid for, but the reality is that this property needs a lot of work.

Room was clean and ready to go when we arrived for check in. Everything we needed was available.

We stayed for one night due to a funeral. I understand it is only for one night. The curtains were falling as they did not have all the clips on the top. We had to figure out a way so the light would not come in too early. The floors were messy as my socks and feet got real dirty and sandy feeling as I forgot my sandals. The rest of the room was ok.

This hotel aquired an ajoining motel they call their (sister unit). It is run down and dirty (inside and out). Furniture is worn and outdated, bed was uncomfortable and TV has to be programed every time you turn it on...a process that requires help from the front desk!

This is a great commuter hotel, if you are looking for a comfortable stay for a night. It’s a bit noisy because it’s pretty close to the freeway. And the mattress squeaked a bit. My room was very clean. I thought it was an excellent value for the price. It’s not a fancy hotel. It’s not the most modern. The continental breakfast is pretty basic. But all in all definitely worth the price.

The property was a little outdated but decent. Could use a little more detail in cleaning but nothing a little disinfecting wipes couldn't clean. The reception was friendly and their continental breakfast was excellent. The area was decent and felt safe. Great for families.

Super gross floor and trash everywhere in the room.

The Inn is clean and well kept. The staff friendly and helpful. The free breakfast is better than most places off. And having a restaurant on property was an added bonus, although with it's location it is close to many places to eat and shopping. Overall a pleasant place to stay.

The rooms were very comfortable. It was great to have a TV in both rooms as well as the living room area. The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash or eco-friendly. Perfect for cancer patients. And the area was convenient with dining and shopping. As well as easy access to the freeway. The complementary breakfast was delicious and fresh. And the staff was very polite.

Their staff is dirty and ratchet. They do fraud except the white girl she’s always kind and welcoming all the way through. She helpful and actually makes sure as a guest you enjoy your stay. The short hair lady and girl with the glasses need new jobs they are mean and fraudulents tell them to get their money up before they try to argue with me.

Close to freeway so it can be noisy. Saw a couple spider webs and floor wasn’t the cleanest.

Door needs to be adjusted
Door on closet needs adjustment
The floor is always dirty. It needs to be wet mopped and I've watched a maid only sweep the floor with a broom.
I would give a better rating if our socks would not get black from the floor.

This hotel is over all not safe. Take someone with you when staying at this hotel. The area itself is pretty shady. The inside of the room to be direct is a dive. It's dirty, smelly and you don't want to put your face in the pillows! If, at all possible stay elsewhere especially if your a single female.i could say a lot more but what's the point, a dive is a dive.
