Looked like the door had been kicked in a few times, missing light fixtures. Soda machine not plugged in. Hair left in the shower (not ours) Oh and you can’t tell by the pictures but this is a motel. I purposely picked this because it was attached to the Marriott name but I know better now.

The room floors were filthy especially in corners and bathroom. Hardly any breakfast choices, ran out of fruit, milk, juice. No protein at all. Ice tasted dirty . People above were stomping around all night.

Really disappointed...... The breakfast was very minimal. 2nd day waffles not available... Only old fruit and cereal. I was told the pool was heated. Was definitely not. Me and my 1 year old didn't get to swim. Ever time we tried to get hotel staff help was nearly impossible...

If I were to guess, I would say that this was a dilapidated property that was recently purchased and quickly renovated. It isn't perfect, but it's cheap and the staff are friendly. The really nice thing about this place is the location. It's a 5 minute walk to Maitreya Retreat, Enterprise Rent-a-car, and Santa Cruz Diner.

The room had an odor. The towels need replacing they were old, dingy and on top of that there were only two towels provided in the room. There was a stain on the bedsheets and the bedding could use some updating with only one sheet and a paper thin duvet.

This hotel is very basic. I was upset that the front desk would not provide an extra blanket on a cold night. He said, "turn up the heater." That's not hospitality. The bedside lights did not work. The room was clean and the shower, though small, was nice and hot. The free breakfast features mini-muffins (size of big dots) and a tiny waffle maker. The coffee was very watery and weak. Please don't cut corners on this small amenity.
