We love it because it is convenience for us when we go to Knotts. But the area is not so great. The beds in hotel not real comfortable.

Will return again
I didnt expect it to be as roomy as it was which was great loved it. Front desk was great friendly and quick. Only thing was that there was small roaches in the room but it wasnt that a big deal but it kinda was like eww gross but got over it. Only thing that was bad was the mattress was uncomfortably and the separate room needed a ac because it got hot in there but over all it was a good stay i didnt expect it.

Would not recommend at all
Where to start, maybe the sketchy atm that has a garbage bag flapping from the top of it, or the nightlife of the people at the hotel. Bugs in the hotel rooms. Dirty walls and dirty stained with things i don't want to know curtains. Only good thing is it is a very short walk to knotts.

Wont be returning
While the room was very quiet, the beds were hard as rocks, the floors were nasty and sticky, they don’t have extra pillows and the ones in the room are flat, the room was so hot that it took hours to cool down. We had to open the window and the door in addition to the AC (that barely blew cold air at all). The sink was broken and the toilet was loose. All of the cabinets and drawers were either broken or the handles were missing. They asked for a cash deposit but didn’t actually check anything to get it back. Definitely won’t be returning.

Dirty room
In general, the room was gross! We cleaned it to get it at least decent enough to stay in. Room service was done only once but maybe that was a good thing? Based on our experience I wouldn't want to stay there again. But at least the staff was friendly - they're probably overworked and underpaid by the owner.
