Liked: Cleanliness
Clean rooms and the staff was friendly and helpful
I am at the desk in My room working and I am finally getting a lot done, unlike other hotel rooms or even where I was living. The bed is super comfy and the room is nice.
Cons: There was rodent poop in the sink, the sheets had stains on them and the mattress had a large dark rust colored stain on the side that had soaked into the mattress. The traffic noise from the freeway was too loud for us to sleep through the night.
Pros: it was affordable. Breakfast was decent. Staff were friendly. Beds were comfortable

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff were excellent, location perfect for downtown, restaurants etc and easy getaway to surrounding areas.
Great place to stay with affordable rate. The staffing and crews were all exceptional. They were working tirelessly to ensure the customers' satisfaction. Starting from the breakfast, which were great. We could not compare with some hotels that we stayed in the past. They total exceeded our expectations.
