Under renovation on the inside but very clean, comfortable and quiet hotel. Stayed for a tournament just 3 minutes from Polo Grounds which allowed us to sleep in a little longer.

The bodywash and shampoo dispenser was not working, so we ended up opening from the top. The hair dryer was not working, but the hotel staff was able to give us another. The Wi-Fi was very week, so couldn't really do much with that. The TV cable was bad so some of the channels almost impossible to watch. Their hot tub worked fine.

The staff was very nice. The room was cheap and fit our needs as we just needed a place to rest our heads. We were only there for about 6-7 hours. Heater/AC not working.

Front desk ladies were great, parking was easy. The room is just so dingy. This place is in great need of an overhaul, discolored popcorn ceilings, dirty bathroom walls and towels smelling like bleach and chlorine. The sheets were worn, pilling and scratchy. The TV worked and so did the AC. The place was also quiet thankfully during our stay. Probably wouldn’t stay here again. As soon as I got home I felt like I had to disinfect everything.

Staff pleasant and helpful, room old but clean. Serious lack of weather stripping around the sliding door. Room was freezing cold (couldn't figure out how to adjust the thermostat) and road noise was extremely loud. Overall, felt safe and was decent value for the price.

Quick Stay
Room was clean and kept up, we like that they had good security and we felt safe in outlet stay.
For a last min stay the price was reasonable, the restaurant that was attached had great service and good food.

The airconditioning blew directly down on us while we were sleeping. This made it difficult to sleep. The ice maker was not operational. There was no fire extenguisher in the hall where there was a place for one. No base boards. Everything was painted white - even the numbers on the doors. Parking felt safe, but only in the back. We were able to find parking in the back, but it was very limited.

Brian the front desk guy was really helpful, gracious and had an exemplary attitude. The renovations were a bit of a turn off but my room was spotlessly clean so I was happy. A discount to stay tonight would be lovely.

The staff were so friendly, I called to let them know we would arrive after midnight and there was no problem, arrived at 2:30AM, checked in quickly, gave us a great room. Quiet area and very clean. Will definitely return to this Hotel if we ever go back to Coachella. Price was really great too.
