    Staff was moderately helpful, but not up to expected hotel standards. This hostelry can be compared to a low end Motel 6.

    STAY AWAY! We were given a room with used and dirty bed sheets. There was a bunch of hair on the bedsheets and it looked like they didn’t bother changing them from the previous person who stayed there. They refused to provide a clean comforter. The chair was also stained and the phone didn’t work. The manager was extremely rude and said I was disturbing his sleep, when I asked for new comforter that night. I was told I would get a refund but they won’t answer any of my calls. Expedia will also not help you as the property refuses to answer any calls from Expedia. Shame on Expedia for keeping this property listed when consumers are being scammed. The area is also not the best, had a bunch of drunk and high men hanging around. Do not believe whatever lies the manager is going to post in response to this.

    What made the experience even worse was the front desk clerk's response after letting him know the state of the room. After seeing these conditions, I immediately checked out because there was no way I was staying in a room that filthy and unsafe. Instead of taking responsibility or apologizing, the owner refused to offer any refund whatsoever, saying "We don't offer refunds". Charging guests for a room in that condition is unacceptable especially becuase I was in the room just long enough to document the condition of the room and leave. This hotel clearly does not care about cleanliness, maintenance, safety, or basic customer service. If this is the standard they consider acceptable for paying guests, especially for a room they were charging $180 a night for, people should think very carefully before booking here. I will never be back to this place for clear reasons and would strongly warn others to avoid it. The pictures speak for themselves. DO NOT STAY HERE

    The jetted tub had black mold on filters and jets as well as on the shower curtain. When turning on the hot water, it took about 10 minutes to get warm. It would have been nice to have a better description of the tub, the pictures posted does not do it justice. Bed quality could be better and pillows were very flat.

And asks me to show him where I read it. It’s right on the website. He at least lets me in to make a cup of coffee. Next morning, try to make coffee again, not working asked to be let in for a cup of coffee. Any argues with me that my coffee machine in my room works after about 15 minutes. He brings me a new machine. This one actually works, but he was really rude in the process.

My major concern is the cooler/heater in the room because the vent was dusty and when fan blew air you can imagine what I was breathing. I was so dead tired that I didn't bother to ask for a different room at 10:00 pm at night. Will not be staying here again.

Water takes several minutes to get warm. Water never gets hot, ever. Room door is cracked. Light comes in all around the room door. Rusty exhaust fan grill. Shower rod completely rusted. Had to pay $229 per night in what looks to be an old Motel 6. Im sure that this is a very tough business to make money in, and I'm sure that if the owners had the money they would fix it up. But it was just horrible. Sorry but i will not ba staying there again.

    The property is what it is and ideal for business travelers. I found it to be clean, everything functioned well, I had no issues at all with internet or noise. It’s a 2 star property with 5 star management. Everyone is so nice and accommodating, from management to the domestics. I had to extend my stay a few times and I was accommodated with no issues. The staff is present and that adds security to the location. It was by mistake I booked here, as I tend to stay in more upscale properties, but I truly appreciated the personal consideration that the entire staff demonstrated consistently which made extending an easy decision.

    Well, since you asked; - Limited front parking. - Got sized up by thuggish guy in back, where I was forced to park my truck. He was walking down the back alley and threatening me as soon as I parked and got out of my truck. Had to wait for someone in front to leave so I could park there instead, and secure my tools. - Street and commuter train noise was atrocious. Two trains every 20min? They crossed within 10 seconds of each other, right in front of this hotel. - Luke warm water for shower in a.m. - Ironing board didn't have a decent cover. (I mean, Come On!!) - TV volume was either too quiet or too loud, depending on the action. - Remote's Volume UP button wasn't working. I had to shut the TV off and on again just to get it where I wanted at that moment. - Door appears to have been kicked in as striker plate was loose, and door moulding was cracked. - Neighbors, as well as own room doors, had to be slammed to close. - Scarred my shins on the fricken corner of the bed frame, which is oddly low and wide. This hotel is permanently off my list!

    The room I was given did not have a inside bar lock (illegal), there were holes all over the walls with screws poking through, the old floresent tube lighting in the bathroom was flickering non stop, there was only one set of towels for 2 people, the AC unit did not work well, the place was dirty, and smelled musty. I had booked the room for 3 nights because family was in the hospital and I only stayed one night because it was so gross. I was denied a refund for the remaining 2 nights (I even purchased the insurance). This place should not be on Expedia.

    For the most part, this location was a decent place to stay. There is a train that goes by occasionally so it can get noisy. Also, there was no latch lock on my bathroom window which had no screen so it could easily be slid open. There was also some kind of live bug on the toilet paper roll with what appeared to be its severed wings not too far from it on the rill as well.

There was no remote. The one they finally gave me had never been programmed for the TV and we couldn’t get it to work. The room was quit even though it faces El Camino. The lobby is always locked but someone answers the bell.

    The management of the hotel is not guest-friendly. The two of us had some urgent work to do; there was a desk in the room, but only one chair. We asked to borrow another chair–any chair–so that we could share the desk and both work at the same time. The manager's reply was "only one chair per room." It would have cost them nothing to let us use a chair from an unoccupied room or even from the breakfast room, since the breakfast room was never full. The refusal was very disappointing. The breakfast was very basic and there was no staff person present during the breakfast hours to replenish the meager supplies that were put out. The first morning the fruit basket contained a few apples and two fairly black bananas; that was the last time we saw any bananas there at all. The toaster was so tiny (I've never seen one so small before) that only one slice of bread or half a small bagel could be toasted at a time. Obviously the guests' comfort and convenience are not a priority at that establishment.
