Classic mid-grade SoCal special. No frills. Soap and shampoo are about the same quality as county jail. Rooms are small. Check in staff was accommodating and nice. The pool looked good. We didn't go in as it was raining a lot and chilly. The bed was comfortable. As long as you're just looking for a crash spot with low ambience aside from a centerpiece pool..it's a good spot.

I can’t stress how good this hotel is every time I stay here. Love the location; many dining options in the area and it’s safe. Friendly staff, good housekeeping cleaning crew. I wouldn’t recommended the roll in shower rooms unless you have a disability. Those rooms are tailored more towards people with disabilities with the low bed and shower without tub. Nevertheless, hotel is amazing.

Sweet Dream Stay
AC was great! Very clean room.
Very quiet and restful.
Only unpleasant situation was the manager- unfriendly, rude and possibly racist.
