The hotel was lovely. Staff were amazing. Super clean, great shower, nice outdoor spaces. Unfortunately, it shares a parking lot with a very busy In-n-Out drive through. I love In-n-Out, but the line was blocking all of the handicapped parking spaces for the hotel, which I needed, and people in line were...well, donkeys, for sake of censorship.

Uncaring racist bias and service is horrible

This hotel used to be a very nice hotel. A home away from home. After the passing of my oldest son, I would often just get a room to reflect relax a bit, and have some alone time to myself. Unfortunately the front desk personnel were very rude and racist towards me. The first incident the clerk did double checks on my creditals as if I was a criminal. Not knowing that I frequent this hotel often. When confronted she gaslighted me and told me she had to do what she was doing to everyone. The second incident was Anthor very rude and indifferent front clerk there was a dog barking right across from my room. I explained to her I was afraid of dogs and that I wanted to know his breed so that I would know how to deal with the dog I accidentally bumped into the owner walking the dog in the hallway. She rudely told me that if I heard the dog barking I could call the front desk and tell her. I asked her again she proceeded to tell me absolutely not and went on and on about the protection of the dog and its owner. When I explained to her I was also a patron and that she should also be attentive to my needs as well. She started saying I was attacking her and harnessing her. She threatened to call the manager and pointed to the cameras as if to intimidate me. Lastly, the room was horrendous. Chips were knocked all over the furniture. There was a semi huge chunk of the carpet missing right above the separation of the title to carpet and there was some kind of crack in the sink. Heat boken
