The whole place is absolutely run down . Leaks everywhere, rust in the bath tubs. Outlets do not work. Curtains are scary and falling apart. Your staff does their best with what you provide them. This place is a health hazard with the smell of wet walls, floors and ceilings. You should be ashamed. The outside is littered with trash and cigarette stubs.
First room I was placed in had pee on the covers but I was then placed in a different room. It’s not the motels fault my dog got out of the room he was a master escape artist. But for a motel who’s supposed to be pet friendly I do believe having a gate that opens and closes for cars would potentially save a lot of troubles for guest considering the freeway is right outside the motel. My dog opened the door and ran away and got hit on the freeway while I was at my brothers marine graduation. The hot tub was nice and the staff was nice. Only minus for the staff was there was a cleaning lady smoking in the laundry room. The pool is small but it’s overall a cheap hotel we’re lucky to get any of those type of amenities.
Check in was easy and fast. The front desk clerk was very nice and welcoming.
The property seems to have people living there. While parking next to my assigned room I noticed a guy keep circling the property and staring which made me very suspicious. At first I thought he was security but his mannerisms makes me think otherwise. My son (12) and I walk into the room and he said this looks like a place people get killed at. I agreed with him 100%.
The room smelled clean, the linen appeared to be brand new. The flooring seems to be new as well. The dresser was missing a drawer. The restroom was, I guess “clean” but in desperate need of a remodel. The toilet and tub was stained and just gross looking. So much so I didn’t want to take a shower. The beds were squeaky and way too soft for liking.
I am not a prissy type of person. I just sucked it up and stayed. We went to dinner earlier than normal so I wouldn’t get back to the room too late.
Also, it is very noisy. There’s a train that comes by that sounds like it’s right down the parking lot. I heard doors slamming all night. This property allows animals which I think is cool until you hear a pit bull and a mutt trying to go for the jugular.
I will spend the extra money going forward and not stay here. The property is at a great location and the staff are nice. Everything else is unfortunately crap.

Rooms have been redone recently. Staff was out to lunch for almost 45 min last night while we were locked out of our room. Keys quite working.
