The Good: Room is great. Pool & Hot tub are great. The Bad: No Hot breakfast (falsely advertised), which consist of two muffins to choose from, yogurt cups-one flavor, bananas, & apple juice. Toaster for bread was available but no bread on site. Coffee was out too. Tried multiple days to see if anything changed and nope. Poor Review Reason: Counter Staff was not helpful at all and rude (lacks people skills and kindness). Vending machines were out of water. So no water or even ice on site worked. Breakfast was somewhat important but don’t advertise Hot Breakfast if there isn’t anything hot about it. No meat, cereal, oatmeal, eggs, not much of anything. Just muffins?! Vending machines only had chips and candy and few sodas. Property was well kept, but located in very bad area. Continuously hassled/cussed by homeless every moment I walked from property next door get in ubers. Checking in was pleasant at first and room+pool was great, but quickly went downhill thereafter. Don’t go out at night unless you want your life threatened by homeless folk hanging just off the property corners.

This place is a little worse for the wear. The first room I checked into had a hole in the wall behind the bed and what appeared to be a giant bloodstain on the bedskirt. I was concerned about bedbugs so I asked to switch rooms and the next room was missing the door chain backup lock. (A new one was installed the following day at my request). I also found a hairball in the room which makes me think the housekeeping staff might not be the most diligent. Complimentary breakfast was just coffee, fruit, yogurt and prepackaged pastries - no cereal or warm foods. Positives are a nice courtyard for sitting in the sun and the super friendly, helpful front desk and maintenance staff. The staff gets five stars! The accommodations get two, maybe three.

Couldn’t believe that it was rated 8.0 on hotels.com site. Breakfast was minimal of bottled apple juice, packaged muffins choice of three. Coffee or tea. Not much for $99 a night. The tv had issues then they moved me to another room, which also had tv connect issues. The guy came and got it turned on but not many channels on DiecrTV to watch. Lots in Spanish listed. Spider was in shower in morning, washed him down drain prior to getting in. Only to find no body wash, really. Housekeeping needs to be replaced seriously. Nightstand drawer wouldn’t stay shut.

The staff was lovely but the housekeeping and outside maintenance are poor. we arrived to a nice large room but after starting to unpack pulled back the bed coverlet and found a very large poop stain in the center of the sheet on one side!! And then noticed debris on the bathroom floor and a small pool of water on the bedroom floor in front of the TV! We moved (with some help) to a suite for the inconvenience. That floors in that room were very dirty - blackened socks and bare feet. The supposed breakfast was coffee with little coffee mate creamers (artificial), bananas, sweetened apple juice, Activia yogurts that were artificially flavored and way too sweet, and then prepackaged muffins that had 34 grams of sugar and seed oils in them. This is not breakfast and should not be advertised as such - it is more like dessert. Again, the staff was pleasant and apologetic.

There was an empty CBD vape wrapper in the night stand, dirt in the dresser. After walking around the room barefoot for about an hour our feet were filthy. The shower curtain isn't long enough so water collects on the floor. The sink faucet was not tight to the sink. The hair dryer is mounted on the wall opposite the outlet so it cannot be plugged in witjout an extension cord. We had to use the lamp as an extension cord. The breakfast is lame. Homeless people in the park a cross the street and in the gravel parking lot behing the hotel. I've seen worse dives, so I didn't give it 1 star.

While the staff was very polite and friendly, the rest of the stay was very disappointing. There was no soap/body wash in the room. I went to the front desk and requested a refill of the body wash in the shower but never got any the first day. So I went back to the desk day two and still never got any soap. I used shampoo, but really??? No soap?? No napkins or plastic service wear at the very skimpy breakfast. Toilet seat broken…..no screens on windows…a/c temp was set and unchangeable (locked out if changing). Internet connections were unstable…worst of all, I didn’t feel safe: my door handles were rattled by unknown persons throughout the night, etc etc.

The hotel is old and deteriorating. The door frame had been crowbarred open and the slots for the deadbolt and door handle were nonexistent . The bathroom fan screeched and didn't work. It had an ancient whirlpool tub that is permanently stained, with very high sides that are difficult for older healthy adults. The hot water was tepid at times, and just warm enough at other times. (A bath, if you were brave enough to used the tub, would be cold by the time it even slightly filled). It was just dingy with age. Location is great. Parking lot is poorly lit. Paid a premium during the Gem show.

The room was clean. That was the only positive. The staff at night were loud and the smell of smoke and weed wafted around. The tv remote did not work, and after mentioning it three times it was left unfixed however they kept accessing the tv remotely at 4 am. The water in the shower dripped constantly. And the staff was either rude when bring things up or just acted like the did not care. Never again.
