The outside of this property is in desperate need of an update. I was really nervous until I opened my door. Beautiful new flooring, brand new mattress and counters. Large spacious room.
You have to check in at Clarion Pointe which is on other side of parking lot. Breakfast is served at Clarion Pointe as well. Staff is incredible and kind.

There’s definitely roaches, seen multiple in my room but they were squished. The breakfast is literally like waffles, toast, bagels cereal. Nothing crazy. The staff is super helpful though so that was a plus. Probably won’t stay here again

Do not recommend for family stay
Initial thoughts were there are no windows, the room was super hot, the sliding door to the back of building was unlocked which felt unsafe. My daughter went to use the restroom and lost it when she saw a couple roaches in the tub.

Room was clean, AC and bed were perfect. Condition of room was pretty bad. No secondary working lock on my door. Several holes in the wall, ceiling need to be in. Walls need to be repainted. Bathroom sink has massive cracks. Bathtub needs restoration, even know it was clean it looked dirty

A good stop I am happy to recommend
There were a few disturbing ratings and comments about this location.
It is an older hotel, but housekeeping is good. Ashley at the desk is personable, humorous, and diligent. We felt safe and secure and this has immediate access to I-8. The breakfast is continental which was a disappointment, but otherwise this was a very good price for the area.

Not the best but it had a bed
There was roaches in room 115. The shower head was leaking from the top. Air conditioner didnt work as expected. However i was fleeing from a domestic violence situation so it was good enough for the nights i had to stay. The staff was amazing very welcoming and comforting

They only cleaned once on our stay, and not well either. Most of the outlets in our place didnt work. The door to the bathroom door didnt close. The shower will either give you really hot or really cold water. The people at the front desk were helpful and nice, and the breakfast was almost always stocked.

The staff were helpful, friendly and responsive. Breakfast nook was overseen by a staff person throughout the morning; continental style with mini muffins, bagels, English muffins, toast, butter, ream cheese and peanut butter available, two deep waffle irons for nice make-your-own, yogurt, apples, cereal and fresh coffee. Rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. Sadly the facility itself is worn; there were cracks in the bathroom tile and walls, we had two lamps whose light bulbs wore out. But we felt reasonably comfortable. I hope they can make some repairs as it would elevate the place a bit. My one other suggestion would be to provide hard boiled eggs to the breakfast menu to add a protein option.

We arrived checked in with hesitation and went to our room. The door had space top and bottom, the bathroom was filthy, the room smelled of mold. The kitchenette was cracked the only sink is right inside the open door. We didn't stay and demanded a refund. The person at the front desk was apologetic and very friendly, but we couldn't stay.

Front desk staff was amazing. Housekeepers could not clean the room due to too many checkouts that day.
Description of room wasn’t exactly what it said. The couch was not a couch bed.
Broken items in the room. Bathroom sink did not turn on at all, microwave handles were missing, shower head spurred water causing slight flooding with every shower.
Baby roaches in the restroom

This hotel was perhaps the dirtiest and nastiest hotel I’ve ever visited. The bathroom was horrid and all of the furniture was disgusting, old and worn. I am shocked that this company offers amenities like these to their guests. This review is by no means is a harsh review aimed to the employees who work at this facility. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I feel bad these employees because they have to maintain such a poor excuse of a hotel and a facility. Who ever owns and manages this facility should invest their money properly on renovating this building because it is absolutely shameful to call yourself a hotel and offer these rooms for your guests to stay in.

The staff deserve a raise
The staff there is very kind and helpful. I stayed there on July 29th -Saturday night close to 11pm and was having issues finding my room. The front desk receptionist on the opposite side of the hotel said she did both hotels check ins and made the check in process smooth for me and my family. We need more people like her who have great customer service skills and are understanding. As far as with the hotel, I wish the AC could’ve worked better because it was very warm inside and one of the beds was not very firm but other than that, it was clean. My little brother’s birthday weekend was wonderful and I thank the staff (the nice lady) for making it possible. Thank you! Blessings
