The lady told me that I had ordered a handicap room and I didn't. She said I was stuck in that 1st floor room, and I never stay on the first floor, ever! I would have paid for an upgrade but the hispanic lady was cold and rude to me I felt. That ruined it for me and that was upon check-in! : ( She was there at checkout too. I wanted an upstairs room with a tub.

This is a good, functional, clean hotel. It's obviously older, but has been upgraded. Bummer it's next to the freeway because of noise. Great that it's next to the freeway for easy access. My check in got messed up, but the great staff fixed it and all was well. Thanks
