Staff was great. Rooms are hot and the air barely keeps up. The floors even stayed hot (first floor). Places the flooring was lifting. The bed was good. Rooms need some work. The only view is the freeway. I just needed a place to crash while visiting. It was fine for that.

The outside of this property is in desperate need of an update. I was really nervous until I opened my door. Beautiful new flooring, brand new mattress and counters. Large spacious room. You have to check in at Clarion Pointe which is on other side of parking lot. Breakfast is served at Clarion Pointe as well. Staff is incredible and kind.

Avoid this hotel

Conditions are really bad! Do not stay here. The shower didn’t even work and have running water. You have to even check in at different hotel because lobby was closed. The pictures of hotel are not accurate either. Dirty shower.

Do not recommend for family stay

Initial thoughts were there are no windows, the room was super hot, the sliding door to the back of building was unlocked which felt unsafe. My daughter went to use the restroom and lost it when she saw a couple roaches in the tub.

This property is run down, sketchy people hanging around the parking lot next to a gas station and a freeway on ramp next it is very noisy. There’s a Clarion hotel on the same property and I had a check in there because the owner owns both properties. You can tell the owner neglects the property and just take the cash from the renters. I had a scalding hot shower that would only be hot or hotter and it burned my foot. I complained to the front desk, but they couldn’t do anything about it. I do not recommend anybody staying there as there are better other options nearby. I would never come back to this property.

Not clean, lots of roaches

Booked a lot of rooms for our 14 employees who are working in that area. The convenience of having a kitchen seemed perfect since they were staying all week. The next day I got calls from them saying the rooms had roaches everywhere! On the beds in the kitchens & bathroom. They requested I find a different hotel to stay the following weeks.
