Hotel is Old and Outdated, reeks of mold and carpet smells. Rooms are decent but badly distributed, bathrooms are right next to the bed on the balcony suites. Breakfast service in the morning lacks better service, quality and variety.

They just started charging 16 dollars for parking. Its becoming ridiculous. Your paying a premium price for a room that smells musty and expensive parking and breakfast.

I recently stayed at this hotel and it was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. The moment I arrived, the entire second floor smelled strongly of weed. When I walked into my room, it smelled like a homeless shelter—musty, and nothing like what a hotel room should be.
They gave me a room with a completely blocked view facing giant industrial AC units. Not only was it depressing, but it was also loud. On top of that, they charge $16 for parking, and the parking lot isn’t even safe. It’s right next to homeless camps, so paying for “security” feels like a joke.
They also charge $24.99 for ANY on-demand movie, even the ones that are supposed to be free. Breakfast? $19.99—for basic food that’s not worth half that price. And of course, they hold a deposit for everything. Honestly, it feels like they’d charge you for taking an extra breath.
When I mentioned the weed smell to the front desk, the staff said, “I’m going to investigate that for you.” I told him clearly: the investigation is for you, not for me. I’m the guest—you should maintain the property.
The first impression was terrible, and the rest of the stay matched it. Save your money and stay somewhere else. You will have a much better experience anywhere but here.
