Loud surroundings. Pet Friendly but…
We opted for the pet friendly room since we had our dog with us. The room we chose didn’t have a price difference from the non-pet rooms until we checked in. The fee was $25 and the attendant said the fee is waived if you book directly through them. My wife asked why wasn’t the price reflected on the website when we chose the room type but she didn’t respond.
During the night, we thought our ground floor room window was open because we could hear regular conversations so clearly! You can also hear the upstairs walk around, drop things etc. Then around 2am, my wife and I woke up to loud thumping that may have been a washing machine or other activity from upstairs, along with loud music from somewhere else. We arrived from 14hours on the road & were too tired/car-lagged to call the front desk. You can hear the noise from the freeway but that didn’t bother us.
The AC unit is governed to not go below 63 or 65 (can’t recall). There’s no option on unit to keep the fan running so we could drown out all the noise.
If they fixed all the noise issues the stay would’ve been more pleasant but we’re not staying there again. Luckily we booked a better hotel for almost the same price for the rest of our stay.

BELIEVE THE BAD REVIEWS-SCAM ARTISTS
We arrived and checked in with no issues. Stayed for 2 nights. When asking about the ice machine at first they said “we do not have one.” And then asked why there are ice buckets they said “its actually out of service.” This was the first red flag. My partner right away said “be careful because they seem sketchy.” Then, we noticed a blood stain under the first sheet so we just took it off and put it in the corner. The headboards were greasy and even had a full handprint on the headboard. Checked out with no issue. A day later when looking at my charges I noticed this hotel charged me $23.86. When I called the hotel they told me it was for “dirty floor towels”. I asked for proof and they said they had a picture but refused to show me. The floor towel was dirty from me taking a shower and then stepping on the floor-which was filthy! Clearly they do not properly clean their rooms or floors and then charge the guests for their uncleanliness. If they use bleach (like the front desk person told me) shouldn't all the stains come out? Lied about when the manager will be in multiple times as well and was met with the rudest responses when I was just trying to get more information on these random charges on my card. I stay at hotels weekly for work and I have never had this happen with such rude workers who clearly scam their guests. I looked at other reviews for this hotel and noticed I was not the only one this has happened to. Please beware or even better- STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

The clerk lied to me as I'm watching the fees get deducted from my account via text message on my cellphone, that the card was not good. And I still need to pay the deposit fee and some other fees. Still lying...When asked if I can get a receipt she said there is no receipt. Still lying....When asked if I could have a full refund she said I'll have to go through a third party. However, the fact that I was not born yesterday and I just wake up looking this way; young, pretty and dumb,... And have been renting hotel rooms everyday for the last few years. Mistakes happen. But I'll bet my bank statements and my attorney can prove otherwise. I'll be back after the holidays ready to bake that ham. Seasons greetings everyone!!....
