“Want a bath, advertised decaf or a sewing kit? Go elsewhere!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2011

I asked for decaf 2 times. It showed up on the last night (3rd time). Don't know if it ever showed up in the (meager) breakfast room. I asked for a sewing kit (advertised in the room under "Ooops" for forgotten things-no luck. When I tried to take a bath, there was no tub stopper, so I was stuck with showers. I got one bath towel after asking (didn't want to share the only one in the room).
It's clean, very cheap and pretty convenient once you figure which is the right turn off to use (by the gas station).
I'd recommend, if a friend couldn't afford anything better!

“Never again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2010

Our room was somewhat clean, the rates were cheap so didn't expect much. They have a different definition of "suite" than I do. The "extra bedroom" was barely big enough for the bed...I could just barely open the door without hitting the bed with the door. They have motion sensors on all lights and even the TV, which kept shutting off after 5 minutes or so. The breakfast was a joke, and you had to hunt for the staff to check out.
If you want cheap lodging and don't care much for the type of room,. I guess this was okay. Personally I'd rather spend a little more and stay in a decent place.

“Was a okay stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2010

Initially, we got a room that was cramped with two beds and the room was not clean meanin had lot of foul smell, may be from humidity. Later after 4 or 5 days We got a room change. That room was good.

Maid service was good. We got all the towels changed everyday. Cleaned the whole room, bathroom.

One morning we had some problem in Breakfast room when supplies were not taken care off even after bringing it to the notice of the person at the desk. That was about it.

Over all was a pleasant stay.

“By far the WORST”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2010

Dirty room. Only two working lightbulbs in my room and one randomly shuts on and off...ALL NIGHT LONG. No heat, no iron and when I requested one nothing happened. I finally tracked down the maid and had her stop watching tv and smoking cigarettes long enough to bring me one. When I went to use it, it didn't work. Had to call clerk 3 times to get a new one.
There are actually shoe prints on one wall in the bathroom and some stain I hope is coffee. Ugh!! A nightmare!!!!!

“Great Stay with Value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2010

I went to the Honda center for a game and had a great time. The new remodelled rooms are nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and directed me to many restaurants in the area. The mall was just minutes away which was great for my daughters. We stayed 2 nites and will be back again soon
