Disgusting. Never again.

This hotel was disgusting. Property is fenced around dilapidated buildings, drug deal in the parking lot, mattresses outside, Office in a construction shack. List of people that they cant rent to out for everyone to see. Absolutely would never ever go back.

Worn down motel, no pool, ok room

Pulling up to this place, every part of my reptile brain was telling me to turn around. It looked like it might be getting renovated but most of it, including the pool, was closed. The side facing the freeway was the only part open. Not the cute family motel seen in the photos. I was imagining a fight breaking out in the parking lot or my car getting broken into, but I'm glad we stuck it out. The double queen room was clean and comfortable enough for the price we paid. The only noises we heard in the night was the freeway, which was really loud. The pillows were strange clumps of fabric that my wife and I couldn't shape into anything comfortable but the kids seemed to sleep ok.

Towels were dirty, there was hair on them and in the shower. Curtains were all ripped up. front door lock was broke. Didn't feel safe. Most the hotel rooms looked like people lived there. Definitely would never recommend this to anyone.

It’s not often you book a hotel and show up to a consultation site. I found a trailer with a light on and there was a nice lady working who checked me in and informed me I was rebooked at another hotel across town (valley Green apartments formerly motel 6). After a bit of a wait I received my keys and directions to the other place. Once I arrived my keys didn’t work so back to the construction site and trailer we went. The desk lady called for some help but no one was answering to help her. After an hour she reprogrammed my keys and said to go back and give it a try again. She gave me a number to call if it didn’t work. Off to the other hotel went… Once again the door keycard did not work. I called the number she gave me and it instantly went to voicemail “no one it available and the mailbox is full, goodbye”. Wow! This really sucks. I go back to the construction site trailer again and let the office lady know they key cards didn’t work again and the number she gave me to call didn’t allow me to get through to anyone. There were others having similar issues in the “trailer”. The office lady was trying her best and I felt bad for her. There was zero support from the hotel “management”. After about 30 minutes she gave me keys to another room and we got it. We booked for two nights but in the morning after the first night. This place SUCKS!

The location is great in relation to I5, food options, and tons of shopping. We spent about a week here playing at Great Wolf Lodge during the day and sleeping at King Oscar. I love that there is a Safeway down the street so I could grab some food staples and use the fridge/freezer and microwave to eat food we love instead of spending a fortune on food from resturaunts and fast food that isn’t as good as homemade. Check in was easy and the woman at the front desk was lovely. There were residents who seemed to live at the property meandering and were very kind and respectful to us. There was a lot of road noise from I5 (our room was facing the freeway) which provided great white noise for us. My family loves cars so we enjoyed the sounds of cars going by. We didn’t hear a sound from neighbors so I think the sound of the cars was a great bonus. Overall it’s definitely a “you get what you pay for” stay but I found the pros to outweigh the cons.

Managed Expectations

The Good: The room was bright. The electronics all worked. It had good water pressure. The bed was firm but comfortable The Bad: The room smelled as if it had been a smoking room at some point. The pillows were flat. The toilet was a little loose on its mounting. The property is currently undergoing renovation, so the room selection is limited and a bit dated. The Ugly. We struggled to get more than 5 minutes of hot water and 5 more of lukewarm water in the shower.

It's being remodeled but it's a decent building. The room was clean. My only complaint is the freeway traffic noise but other than that, it's a decent model for the price.
