I booked this hotel on Hotwire.com for a really great price. I've stayed here before and had a good experience. This most recent stay was not as grand. I love the layout of the rooms at this hotel. The rooms are a split design. The front area is similar to a living room. It has a TV, couch with pull-out bed, desk and chair, and bar area with sink, microwave, and refrigerator. The back section of the room is separated by a door and it contains a bed, dresser drawers, and a second TV. Some rooms have a sink and vanity in the back section of the room, while others just have a closet. Between the living room section and the bedroom section of the room is the bathroom. It's a full bathroom. I am not that impressed with the bathrooms though. The bathrooms I have seen here could have used a deep-cleaning before our visit.
The location is great for us. It has easy access to the freeway and is nearby a mall and lots of restaurant options. There is a restaurant inside the hotel as well, but I hadn't tried it.
As far as our most recent visit, it could have been better. The first night was scary. Our air conditioner kept making a loud banging noise, so I kept jumping out of bed in a panic thinking someone was breaking into the room. In the morning I jumped in the shower only to find out that we had no hot water. Did I mention that the bed sagged in the middle? As a result, I asked to change rooms. The new room was much more modern looking. Newer furniture, newer carpet, a flat screen TV, and a Sleep Number bed. The air condition was still loud, but not as bad the first room. The only major complaint with this room was that when we arrived the shower curtain rod had already been coming out of the wall. It held up during our stay though. Also, the bathroom could have been cleaned more thoroughly.
One final issue that we had was with our electronic key card. When we returned to the hotel on the second night our key wasn't working. We had to walk all the way around the building to the front lobby for help. We had this issue once before on a prior visit. It was frustrating, but we survived.
Hotwire listed this as a 3-Star Hotel. It's probably more like a 2.5 in my book. For what I paid, it was worth the price though.
