Overall Disappointed
Lobby/breakfast area was clean. Carpeting in my room was sticky through out the room. Desk chairs were covered in unknown stains. Both the carpeting and chairs were in desperate need of shampooing. Attempted to use the pool area with my grand-daughter. Left because the pool walls were dirty. Grab bars leading into the pool were loose and wobbly where they connected to the floor. Paint on the pool deck was peeling and chipping.

Ok for sleepy a night and leaving
The staff we friendly and accommodating . Definitely needs updating. When we got to our room . There was no nob to turn on the shower on . A maintenance man was on the floor within minutes to apply a nob . But i could spit harder than the shower water pressure. Me and my husband didn't bother to call we just laughed about it. The parking lot always had shady people walking through, i think the area around it is not the safest. Definitely stay away from the Dennys acrossed the street. The bed was worn but clean. Location is the best part very closed to everything. Pool needs a major updating. Cracking paint i didn't even go in it was so worn out. Gym was good. Breakfast was good only 1 waffle maker , makes for a long wait time.

Some aspects of the hotel were excellent others not so good. Our room was not cleaned the entire time we were there which was 6 days, and had not been cleaned well before we checked in. There was a hyperdermic needle in our chair ( had the front desk immediately remove the chair) also found someones underwear behind the trash can when I took my own trash out.
On the plus side the breakfast was good each day, the front desk crew was excellent, I had two dogs with me ,and unlike another nearby hotel I felt fairly comfortable walking the dogs.

Overall great stay! My husband and I stopped on our drive from Ontario to Nevada. The hotel felt safe, was dog friendly for our 8 year old Pomeranian, breakfast was served at 6am which was great for us who had to get back on the road. Bed was comfy, room was clean! Would recommend and the price was perfect!

You get what you pay for, and I did not have to pay much. No complaints, just light on the frills. Could have been fancier but also could have been worse. Overall, very average.

While the price was nice, everything was old and well used. Everything worked though. I didn't like the roundabouts by the hotel. Had an Arby's and other hotels by it. Close to industrial parks. Functional is the word I'd use to sum up this hotel's description.

It served its purpose which was a cheap place to sleep. A bad storm rolled through and knocked out power to half the town including this property. The doors opened and the water was running, but I think the storm blew out all of the light bulbs that were on during the storm. This was no fault of the property, but I wasn’t offered any refunds or amenities and noone checked up on me.

Hotel -> halfway housing?
I thought I was staying at a hotel. This location seemed to a home for some people down on their luck.
There was a lot of updating and maintenance that needs to be done.
I was there for a dog show. When I checked in, no word was mentioned about an extra fee. The second day I had pounding on my door and a gruff man stating that I will be charged $200 for having dogs. I felt spied on and accused of doing something wrong when it was their responsibility to address this at check in.
