located right by the hwy just a minute away from a regular neighborhood and an upscale area in the other side, the hotel grounds itself looks a little subpar.
the hotel and rooms are older and slightly run down, but not bad with some upgrades.
if you're sensitive to noise, you must get a room facing the upscale neighborhood, away from the highway as there's also a train running through every so often.
all of the receptionists were good or great, including James who bent over backwards to try and help me.
the breakfast is pretty full and I'd rank it an 8 of 10 compared to other BW locations, Monday had a bean and cheese burrito instead of the typical eggs, which is a no no.
the workout room is underutilized which is probably why the treadmills are a lawsuit waiting to happen. Just give it a try for a couple minutes and you'll experience the stalling as well as the complete stop for no reason with the silver one. the room needs a lot of cleaning and attention, but it's doable if we're aiming for the basic minimum.
another safety issue is not having the weight locks, which fell off from me and I know how to lift weights.
I saw someone bring their dog to the second floor, not sure if it was their room or they were visiting, also not sure if pets are allowed in any room or only the first floor but that was an eyebrow raiser.
the balcony lights to the rooms so not shut off so there's no way you get a completely dark room even with the blinds. they're on for our protection, which is a double edged sword since that's indicative of the area. the hvac blows directly over the beds so it's like having a fan on you all night; my daughter caught a dry and sore throat from it.
the sliding glass door does not have a screen so bugs might be a concern, although it wasn't for us in early November.
the beds were pretty comfy, including the pillows.
all in all it depends what you're trying to get out of your stay here, it's on the affordable side but with obvious compromises. it would be ideal to slowly work on these issues and get the place to become a wanted destination.
breakfast closes at 9 on the weekdays, that's forbidden, doesn't take into consideration tourists sleeping in just a bit in this highly touristic area.

Place looks nicer than it is. The shower heads couldn't be worse. But the beds are horrendous. Expected much more. Worst mattresses ive had in a hotel.

Very unsanitary, definitely the dirtiest place I’ve ever stayed at. The screen doors don’t shut fully which allowed for huge spiders to get in. Mold was in the bathroom and the room wasn’t cleaned before we checked in. This place has huge American cockroaches we found eating pieces of dog food that were left on the carpet. 100% don’t go here.
