Edit: I downgraded the hotel b/c I was double charged for the room. The exact thing happened to another reviewer in June 2010. When I checked in, they told me that they did not get a confirmation email from Priceline. They wanted to run my credit card, and I told them that I did not want to be double charged. They told me that it would not be a problem, since they are the one that makes the charge, not Priceline. Apparently, there was no communication within the office, b/c somebody charged me a second time (I checked in after 9pm, both charges were made the same day with a $0.01 difference. Hm). I called them, and they told me to take it up with my credit card company. I’m annoyed that they couldn’t just reimburse my credit card themselves. I let them know that this is a prior complaint against their hotel on TA, and they told me that they’re working on it…working on it since 2010? Just be aware that this could happen if you book them through a third party. I would rather pay more and support a business that does not cause such hassle.
Old Review:
I don't know if there is a better deal in the vicinity. Booking online (we used Priceline) was $5 cheaper than calling the hotel. They do not offer AAA discounts. WiFi is free, but not fast. Maybe you can request a room closer to the router. The location was fine. All hotels in this area offer free parking. The service was fine. I read some of the other reviews and did not encounter such problems. The room itself is very basic. I had requested a king bed, but got two full beds instead. Not really an issue. The room was relatively clean, but very worn. I can see repair spots on the walls. And though i don't see many stains on the carpet, I would prefer not to walk barefoot. I saw no pests. Microwave and fridge were provided. Shower was fine, but I wouldn't be comfortable soaking in the tub. The only toiletry provided was a few bars of generic soap. There are many restaurants and grocers in the area. I'd recommend Mario's Latin Cafe. Did not get to try the pool and will not be trying the breakfast. This felt like a safe area. I don't think the high percentage of "not rec'd" is warranted. This was a unspectacular motel that provided you the basics. Sometimes that's all you need for the night.
