Under Renovation - AVOID
Not revealed anywhere, this hotel is under major renovation activity. No fitness center. No guest laundry. Condition of available rooms is poor. Bathroom door didn’t latch. Plumbing and faucets are in terrible shape. Bathroom tub and sink would not drain. Also not revealed is a $10 daily parking fee.
Staff was helpful and friendly.
The Motel 6 next door would have been a better choice.

Construction during my stay
I’ve stayed here my last 8 business trips usually lasting a week. I must say I’m a little disappointed when booking hotel it doesn’t mention anywhere of construction going on which unfortunately was happening during my stay. To top it off I arrived 10pm Sunday after a long trip and they were having trouble with the key card machine. I had to wait 10 mins to check in and then I needed to wait for someone to let me in the room. Now to be clear the service was awesome they gave me some drink vouchers for the bar but still not what I wanted to deal with during my trip.

Upfront Communications
Trying to check in, first operator said possibly, to call back in an hour. Second operator said no, matter if factly, not till 2:30. Check in later and then was notified of ongoing renovations being done on site. No prior notice. Very poor communication about the construction and lack of enough parking due to contractor’s equipment taking up numerous parking areas. Hallways dirty with drywall debris. Sad

The staff were friendly and attentive from the start. It was easy to navigate and the pool and hot tub were enjoyable. The room was clean and comfortable with nice bath products by Dove. The restaurant made a lovely omelette but lacked knowledge about gluten allergies and served us fried potatoes (this would have been okay if it was a preference not an allergy) but they made sure to correct the situation and offered alternatives. They also didn’t have any non-dairy milks for coffee and tea (fortunately we brought our own). These things are important for those with allergies and health conditions. Overall I would stay again and it was very easy to access from the freeway.

The night we stayed there the pool was filled with about 30 people that had snuck to the pool area, it did not look like they were guest because they were opening the door for each other. I informed the manager and I never heard back from him. The pool became so crowded with people drinking that we had to leave.
