Property needs updating and cleaned. Room was dirty smelled of smoke and mildew. Anyone can use the elevator thats located outside. People walk right by your window and no ample sight blockage as just sheer curtains to cover most of the window. You can easily see inside. Ended up only staying 1 night and lost money by going to another hotel for the rest of my stay. Kitchen was old and dirty.

I asked to be located away from freeway noise and was put so close I could see traffic on I5 from my window. Room smelled so moldy from a water leak that penetrated carpet. I called front desk to request a anti mold agent and they did respond quickly with a maintenance person and a can of Lysol. Room smelled to bad and caused breathing problems so I stayed out by pool most of evening. Requested another room but they couldn't accommodate.

I like the room we had. It was simple, comfortable, had a microwave, coffee maker, fridge. The hot water took a while though. The breakfast was decent. Didn’t care too much for the oatmeal. But it was a nice place overall.
