I only stayed for 10 hours (Omaha->LA->Omaha business quicky), but I enjoyed every minute of my stay My room was clean, modern, spacious, and comfortable Thai delivery was nearby and available at 1:30 AM, as were breakfast pastries

You get a breakfast “swag bag” in the morning which has a decent burrito with a few sides thrown in I didn’t have time to swim, but the pool looked great Will definitely return, hopefully for a longer stay

The lady at the front desk was not nice when we checked out But when we were checking in the guy there was very nice The lady who was cleaning was also nice

It is a non smoking hotel, but we woke up to a strong smell of weed I like the parking garage, it was weird but it made me feel safe It was ok, probably the safest hotel It was also the cheapest in the area If you don’t mind maybe smelling some weed I recommend

I wanted to love it because we stayed at another Pacifica property before, and it was a great experience all around, but I was left unimpressed by this property A few great things were location, the beds, the staff, but a few bad things were the noise from the traffic and not so charming view of the busy intersection, the extra charge for parking when they have a huge garage, the pool and spa location in the property, the snack bar was closed, no room service during the 3 night stay because of COVID? Not that I necessarily wanted it, but I’ve stayed at several other properties in the last 2 years, and I do not remember them canceling the room cleaning offering That said, the housekeeper was in the hallway all through the day, making plenty of noise and leaving her cart by our door a few times

Oh yeah, overnight and early morning, the traffic noise is less, but I could hear footsteps from the room above at those times to make up for itIt’s very likely that in a room in a higher level with courtyard view (they may even be able to see the ocean in the higher level) would be a much better experience but unlike many other properties where the difference in view is slight and worth a price premium, here the difference is so radical, I think it may be like staying at a different property (view and noise difference)Bottom line, I doubt I will ever stay in this property again with a room facing the street if I had known, I would have paid extra here it is worth Also 4 months ago we stayed at a property one mile north in the same street and the experience was far superior Great breakfast included The rate difference was minimal but we figured we’d try this one next time we’re going back to the other one

Amir Rossi

First and foremost Diamond & Benedict we’re excellent on every aspect regarding customer service Friendly, welcoming and attentive to their guests needs The rooms are clean

Location is great The only thing that could use some TLC is the hallway carpet, they were a little dingy and could use a good cleaningOther than that the place and staff were excellent!Thank you!

Sean O’Brien

I’ll keep it short I think this hotel has a lot of potential and I would love to come back but there are a few things that they would need to change before I would consider another stayI’ll start with the pros- great views of the ocean from the balcony, short walk to the beach, across the street from a grocery store, friendly staff, nice patio with furniture and games

The cons- cockroach in our room, the most uncomfortable couch I’ve ever sat on, poor lighting in the room, and generally a dated feel to the room and building (minus the lounge area and patio, they were quite nice) I’ll also mention that many modern hotels have a desk and chair for business travelers Unfortunately, we did not have a desk or a chair in our room My wife was working remotely for a portion of our stay and it was not a comfortable space for workIt seems as if they started renovating an older hotel but for whatever reason stopped half way through If they fully updated it and improved on the things mentioned above, it would a really nice place that I would love to return to

First thing that stood out to me was the amazing customer service! I stayed here May 21st and did a late check in at around 9 pm there was a young lady and young man working they did an amazing job with assisting me Everything went so smoothly the next morning the same young lady helped me again as well! the property is beautiful and so are the rooms! Will def be staying here more often! Thank you Residence Inn LA Redondo Beach for everything!!

Jon Beacher

I was afraid of the road noise facing the highway, but they have double glass city windows that drowns out all the car noise The bed was very comfortable and stellar free breakfast The lobby has a very homely feel with a fireplace and many tables

Fire pit outside was amazing and the front desk people are charming I would definitely stay here again

Morgan Roberts

It wasn’t great It was average You get what you pay for so don’t expect much

This isn’t a luxury hotel They charge 20 a night for parking, which seems a little expensive and unnecessary for self park The hot breakfast only existed for 2 mornings The rest was pre packaged sandwiches Room was 50 feet from fwy and loud Customer service was the best part and the comfy beds!

The beds are the absolute worse! The bed is extremely hard, you can feel every spring digging into your back, makes the loudest noise with every move! It was hard to stay asleep when you u consciously shift in your sleep If you have back problems this will definitely make you sufferI advised the staff serval times and even 1 week ahead of time

I would require a 1st floor room with immediate access to outside since I have trouble with stairs due to an injury When it was time to check in they said I had to go a second floor room, that had no immediate access to outside for fresh air When I went to complain because it’s difficult and painful to go up and down stairs, they brushed me off with the absolute worst customer service No sorrys just shrugs and oh wells Even got some attitude when I complain that I kept checking in to make sure they know I needed an outside room being on the first floor, can you believe that?!They have a tiny little trash can for their kitchen which is ridiculous since you can fit anything in it especially when you have an entire kitchen The cooking ware looks very run downAlso I find it very awkward and weird how the vents are so conveniently facing the bed, which I advised y’all checking before doing anythingAlso the room we were in had this huge window that faces the living room and part of the bedroom And the ONLY curtain u can close was a SHEER SEE THRU curtain!!!!!! Talk about not being able to walk comfortably thru the room without the possibility of someone looking inside! It was beyond stupid and lack of privacy!I found it very inconvenient and weird how the card you use to open your room can be deactivated if accidentally brushed against your phoneI’m also shocked there was no jacuzzi, very disappointedAlso found yellow stains on our white bed It looked fresh and it made me feel disgustedTheir breakfast was not appetizing, if you take the risk of staying here , you will see what I mean when you go down to breakfastOverall I don’t recommend coming here Sticking with the resident inn by Marriott As someone who is well traveled, this is not the place

Probably the worse experience we had with customer service in this town The front desk was very rude and made a horrible first impression to us and our family friend’s on day 1 It was very clear that management was horrible and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in the hotel industry

Some positive things?The location is good Adjacent to some great restaurants and it’s on a quieter side of the area which was niceThe pool gets full sun which is nice and never gets talked about It’s nice if you want to get away from the hectic beach and sandGood value for the facility/rooms and cleanliness Parking is easy and it’s a quiet areaThe facility would be great if the front desk and management wasn’t horrible This is why they deserved 1 star Paying several hundreds a day to be talked to like you’re about to be evicted for not paying your rent is not cool

James Kolb

The hotel is at a great location, but FAR from being considered a true Hilton property The hotel and bar offer absolutely nothing complimentary (Coffee, tea or even water), breakfast items are a menu choice and are very healthy, but a little pricey The rooms are very comfortable and spacious

The staff was accommodating and friendlyThe pool and hot tub are clean and comforting, however the entire pool area had ONE functioning umbrella for a dozen plus chaise lounges When asked maintenance if they had more umbrellas, he stated parts are on order! Overall…very satisfied

Brian Martino

This is the perfect place for quiet, fun, rest, and relaxation The rooms are perfectly appointed Beautiful oceanfront view from my suite

My meal from foodservice was delivered quickly and friendly and was set up unobtrusively The steak was cooked perfectly! Which is saying something since its difficult to find a rare steak in SCalifornia! The check-in process was seamless and was made to feel valued The staff is just incredible, everyone! Thank you for a beautiful stay!

William Brown

It’s reasonably priced for LA The rooms do not have microwaves, irons or ironing boards, they do not have a free breakfast bar, but offer 1 free dinner instead (oriental meal) The rooms are nice with heated bidets

They do honor AARP discounts, a plus in my favor Other than the few short commings I rate it 5 stars for excellent service

S P

This is a follow up to New Gardena Hotel’s reply to my original post I was very specific in regards to my review as being a LATE review in my original postHotel stated ” in fairness, it has been more than 3 years since you stayed in our hotel

“Of course it has been years Why would I stay at the hotel again after what happened?

The stay at this hotel was excellent Staff were friendly and the amenities were very enjoyable My wife and I played basketball, worked out at the gym, went in the pool and hot tub, enjoyed watching some football in the lounge, and enjoyed a peaceful outside sitting area near a fireplace at night

We also have to thank our front desk check in associate extra as we let her know we were on our honeymoon and she provided us with complimentary free breakfast for our stay to celebrate! Along with all this, the room was clean and modern, with a TV and desk and even a mini-refrigerator Being on the top floor came with an excellent view of Hawthorne as well!

Yousef A. Almubarak

Clean and good hotel near the airportSpacious lobby and friendly staffClean spacious room with good amenities

The gym is good as wellThe place is well located near the airport but with no noise at all There is plenty of stores nearbyThey have also a bar where you can order drinks/sandwiches but no buffetThe only downside was the smoking smell in the room despite being smoking free facility

Larissa

Parking, lobby environment, and bed is great!!!! We just stayed for one night However, the bathroom shower floor was dirty Like actual dirty foot prints inside the shower and dirt accumulating on the side

Not sure why half of the door of shower was missing Super Weird design Water gets on the floor Also some of the lights were not working for a bit, had to call front desk In my opinion Not worth the price for my room A deposit is required!! Ask for receipt before you leave!!! I did enjoy the environment though Didn’t hear any noises on the fifth floor

The Belamar has been our favorite hotel before being apart of Hilton and only became better after, as we are Hilton Honors Members currently The location itself is on the edge of a residential and commercial area in Manhattan Beach Ca As soon as you pull into the driveway you get a sense of a calmer, cozier era

Walking into the lobby you are welcomed by an eclectic theme and smiling faces From the record collection inside the door, to the open lobby surrounded by windows and the white stone floors it is truly an experience You feel as if Rock Hudson or Audrey Hepburn may stroll by at any moment The standard rooms are clean and neat with a record player at the ready The room in minimally furnished with plenty of artistic expression on the walls The large Television can break the magic but is a must for any weary traveler to relax with The staff is always friendly and accommodating and the Bar/Restaurant is now open with plenty of treats for any pallet There is just something about this location that has brought us back every chance we get

Brandon Frandsen

Beautiful southern California inspired hotel, room was well furnished, light and comfortable, I was asked to get lots of work done without getting distracted or uncomfortable The record player in my room was a unique experience enhancing touch Balcony was great when it was warm out

It is off a busy road so I heard of people having complaints about noise but I didn’t notice it from my room

This hotel was in a beautiful neighborhood Very friendly neighbors It was exceptionally clean And the staff was very accommodating I also loved the free coffee in the morning I also enjoyed the free fruit water that was out daily The only thing I didn’t like was the canned vegetable soup from the restaurant, but the calamari was good I also had a small water leak on the floor of my bathroom ( very minor) The hotels about 15 miles from the beach There are several restaurants and shops by the beach We had a great stay here I would definitely return

Tess German

Such an Exquisite Hotel and Grandeur presence Entire hotel immaculate and rooms are well appointed I like that the sink is outside/separate of the shower and toilet area

The shutter that divides the two beds is a genius idea The decor is elegant and traditional but yet felt modern The room size was massive for a standard double room It felt like a 500 sq ft room The coffee in the room was very goodUnfortunately, we only stayed one day and arrived late so we didn’t get to eat at the restaurant or enjoyed the outside courtyard nor the many areas to explore and to just relax and soak in the atmosphere We did, however, get to enjoy the fireplace while having a late night snack I would highly recommend eating at the restaurant as the food smelled heavenly Additionally, there are many shopping centers/plaza across the street which we didn’t get to take advantage of as well The entire area is completely safe and very well lit as it is a very lively town The hotel does have a private parking for a fee I will definitely come back and stay longer

Lisa Ford

Ayres Hotel is comfortable and homely Staff are friendly and we loved the pool and spa Rooms were serviced daily and everything was spotlessly clean and today

Location is good, next time I would ask for a room not overlooking the freeway Stayed here with my husband and adult son Plenty of room for the three of us and privacy between the beds and the shutters were a great idea We will be back!

Lynne Henley

The employee that was on the desk the night of my arrival was very professional and he greeted me with a sincere and warm welcome I was so exhausted from the work day, that he had to literally verbally guide me to my room The room was exceptionally clean throughout which made the night very relaxing for me

I will truly recommend this hotel to my guest and use it again for local retreats

We stayed in the private room and had very mixed feelings about the placeLocation: we loved the location during the day It was super convenient, and we loved walking all around OB

Unfortunately at night it was so loud it was impossible to sleep There is no A/C, so you have to leave the windows open The entire room was shaking from the noise until at least 2amCleanliness: the sheets seemed to be freshly laundered but as we were leaving, we found trash from a previous visitor under the bed The bathroom was decently clean but definitely not the most clean hostel I’ve ever stayed atComfort: this is where we had the biggest problem The bed was rock hard I’m not sure if they had other rooms available because they charge $20 to change rooms after check inJust another thing to be aware of They have a policy where you can’t have anything but water in your room Not a huge deal, but we do enjoy takeout occasionally after a long day of traveling, so it was a bit annoyingOverall we wouldn’t stay there again, but you won’t find anything as cheap in the area

Anthony Tilley

First, Fantastic location! If you’re going to be up partying all night then this is the place for you The downside is that the hostel is literally over a live music bar that plays all night so if you are more of an early riser then maybe look elsewhere The bed and walls vibrated with music, ear plugs are not enough

Also the private room wasn’t as clean as I would have hoped but not terrible compared to other hostels

John Ryan Barnhart

Surf City Hostel features two separate lounge areas, a communal bathroom + showers, plus one and a half that are private if that’s more your preference (body wash + shampoo are included free of charge) I felt super safe and secure in the hostel as the front/back entrance are closed in the evening and reception is open until 2:00am There is a locked luggage storage room and lockers located inside each room

The whole hostel is cleaned daily The wifi was fast enough to work remotely and complete my schoolwork There are bars, restaurants, and cafes all centrally-located right below the hostelAngelica was inviting and welcoming, she knew every answer to any question about activities & happenings in the area Audrey is an absolute customer service master – she always has fun stories and informational tidbits to make the most out of your stay All of the volunteers were an absolute pleasure in every way and meeting them offered a chance to learn about different cultures and languages (I learned a bit of French during my stay, and was able to practice my Spanish) 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy their stay away from home Thanks Surf City Hostel, maybe next time I will actually go surfing 😉

Sorry this review is long but it is a helpful review and hopefully will answer a lot of questions I will book this hotel again for sure While looking for a hotel for our family vacation my husband wanted a Double Tree or Hilton but honestly this being a 3 star hotel, with a Google rating of 4

5 stars, I think I got a better deal here at this Best Western Especially compared to $400 a night Nah we got a way better deal and way better bang for our buck here at the Best Western The rooms were clean and at the price I booked I thought I was just getting 2 beds and a desk, but I actually got a loveseat, and 3 chairs not counting the chair that was with the desk Lamps so I didn’t have to have to have the room super bright I was able to also have it nice and dim Great AC We booked for 3 nights Room service came everyday even though all we needed was the trash taken out and fresh towels everyday I worked at a Hilton was I was younger and we didn’t even ask guest if they needed fresh towels until the 3rd or 4th day Free parking, we even had 2 cars 24 hour coffee and tea in the lobby No coffee maker in the rooms though I felt that was ok, because going out of my room to the lobby gets me a couple of steps in Have to have your key car for even the elevator to work, which I honestly appreciate the extra security Some may not like that but I don’t blame hotels having to go through extra measures because of misuse of rooms and reasons for booking A wide variety of breakfast options from yogurt and oatmeal to eggs, burritos, pastries, bagels, cereals, waffles, fresh fruit It was even better then the Hilton I used to work at, and that was a new Hotel when I worked there, had only been open 1 year Very kid friendly hotel, the breakfast room has beautiful decor and ample seating for families Me, my husband and 3 kids, (ages 13, 10, 2), very much enjoyed this hotel and seen other families having a good time too

D LC

Had a nice stay here I have to admit the neighborhood looked a little rough when we pulled in, but all the people we met were nice There is only one entrance area with fences everywhere, and they have covered parking

Never had an issue with safetyThere is a taco bell, 7-11, and burger King within walking distance, as well as a gas station There is a food4less and CVS pharmacy around 2 miles awayThe free breakfast was nice, my kids loved the options they had, like cereal, oatmeal, eggs, hashbrowns and pastries They even had a hot chocolate machine, my fav!Rooms were nice and clean The counter in our room had a crack in the side that had collected dirt and looked dingy but not a big deal Just normal wear and tear for a hotel Nice big shower and they gave us orange scented lotions and shampoos Pool was tiny and gets very chilly in the eveningWe drove to Crystal Cove Beach because it was cleaner and more family friendly Took 50 min but worth it Wanted to try the free Getty museum but ran out of time We visited the Old LA Zoo and that was fun Would stay here again for sure

Claudia Rodriguez

Didn’t like the location at first but liked that there’s a few drive thru restaurants near by Rooms were not so clean carpet was dirty

crumbs in the drawers not enough towels and toilet paper no blankets for sofa-bedbreakfast was not the greatest same thing everyday but better than nothing waffles, eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, toast, bagels cereal, oatmeal some fruit breakfast was over at 9 not 10 it ended as soon as everything was gone lady didn’t care to refillparking lot was filthy we saw a couple of hookers on the parking lotbut the rooms were very spacious bigger than other hotels we’ve stayed in beds were comfy but the pillows were tiny and not comfortablemicro and fridge were a plus

I had a wonderful experience We booked at another hotel but things did not work out last minute so on scrambling to find a hotel we were directed to the Hampton The room price was very practical, the staff was accommodating and incredibly polite

The room was just what we needed, spacious, and clean We enjoyed the breakfast as well All in all it was a very pleasant stay I would definitely stay here again

First time staying here and everything was great! We stayed for 2 nights Staff was very approachable, friendly, helpful We enjoyed the indoor pool one day

They provide towels if you did not bring one Free breakfast was nice to start off our day with our family the 2 days we stayed Overall very clean and sanitized Free gated parking We would definitely stay here again!

Stayed a week on Family vacationIn a pretty good location, fairly close to several attractions/entertainment options Beautiful beach within 8min of hotel; Manhattan Beach/Pier (Less busy than Santa Monica)Good staff service, with good breakfast, and reception food n beverage options

The Hotel does a decent job keeping the facility and rooms clean Just needs to be cleaned more frequently, if possible, and a little more thoroughlyOverall, a pretty satisfactory stay for the week!!!

Hai Parnes

The hotel located on the 405 But you don’t hear nothing They’re very kind clean, and just did remodel

Very good service! very recommend!! we had a lot of fun and a answer of all our requestLess good: If the Check is in 15:00 the room will not be ready before! also we were there 14 nights and the GYM where close because of broken mirror that didn’t fixed!but still we are recommended for this place the feeling it’s good you will love it

Overall the staff in the kitchen area really made our stay pleasant The Mexican and Filipino lady always greeted us with a smile each morning and offered to make waffles prior to it being busy, the free dinner offered from Mon-Thurs was an extra added bonus too, free wine selections and beer craft on tap The ladies offered to take our plates it was next level service

The cleanliness of the hotel was amazing only down fall was the fact that house keeping is only offered on certain days unless you request it with 24hours notice No daily house keeping Parking was $18 per day Another issue I had was they only had one set of elevators so if your room is on the other side of the building it was a far walk to the elevators There was stairs but it could be an issue if you have to carry things up etc overall nice hotel

We recently stayed at this hotel and driving up its was so pretty Parking was nice but definitely would get full The kids loved the koi ponds

Our room was nice but the hotel seems like its a bit dated I think they would definitely benefit with some remodeling or updates They no longer clean rooms unless requested, which was actually nice We called down for whatever we needed and it was sent up quickly They have drinks in evening for adults and children with snacks which was very nice we enjoyed doing that Breakfast was crazy at times not enough seating at times But we managed Omelets and coffee were my favorite, I didn’t care too much for other stuff The staff were all so friendly and very helpful The pool looked lovely but too crowded for us to go

From the second I contacted the property for shuttle pick up arrangements to check out, it was great Every staff I encountered was friendly and the guy that checked me in, (I’m sorry, I forgot his name,) it was that interaction at check in that I knew it was going to be a great stay, and it wasThe hotel is beautiful, it’s a relaxing environment inside

Pretty close driving distance to everythingBar was great, great drink selection and good foodI hope there are rooms available the next time I come to LAThanks for the hospitality!

Andrew “Andy” Davis

Hotel with great potential near LAX and located on Imperial Avenue El Segundo Parking is available with a good size lot underground but street parking is also available but check the signs as some days isn’t permitted The bar is cozy and has good service but equally isn’t always open

Restaurant serves a standard breakfast which can get a tad monotonous if staying several days Rooms are suite style with a sofa and lounge area with table and TV Equipment includes a sink, coffee machine and a microwave and fridge although the microwave isn’t in English so prepare to translate Bedroom isn’t bad and has another sink and mirror along with a TV and the bathroom selected the two areas I stayed on the fourth floor and water pressure was a big issue The shower barely provided enough to wash and the sinks clog easily so releasing water sometimes took 30 minutes and can be frustrating One big problem for me was the lack of windows, the bedroom offers light via a frosted glass window but you can’t see out and on the front side the doors face inwards into the hall and corridors, so lacks privacy if curtains there are opened Although it’s a Hilton property for some reason check-in staff wouldn’t add our numbers but the following day we could so assume this was a lack of understanding or training The building looks nice and the courtyard is quite stylish with sun from above

Room was larger than expected and the beds were comfortable it’s an older property but so close to EVERYTHING!! highly recommend Ocean Cafe (40’s diner) had the lemon ricotta pancakes that were on the special Y

U M!!! Mich better than the muffin coffee and yogurt the hotel offers Hot tub was great but it was a little dirty and the sign regarding diarrhea wasn’t very comforting either We will be back

The hotel is not new, but it is well maintained, and clean The rooms are nice and spacious, and some have small balconies that you can see the ocean Refrigerator in the room, and kurig coffee maker, but if you want use of the hotels single microwave, you have to go to the lobby ( weird )

They have a small exercise room, but the treadmill and bike were both out of order, so it is basically a rack of dumbbells They offer breakfast, but are still using COVID as a excuse to get out of serving it It’s an ok place to stay, but it’s just a room at this point No extras It was $140 a night, and not far from the water 20-30 minute walk, or a 3 minute car ride Honestly, it’s about 3 1/2 stars (Could have been higher, but no breakfast, no microwave in room, and the exercise equipment broken)

darren s

Curtains were torn up, room smelled of mildew and the staff was less than “worst service ever” Totally ruined the Quality Inn name for us and will never use this hotel line again after our experience here, despite having been loyal guests for years Spend double and go down the street to anywhere else or you’ll be regretting your whole vacation like it did to ours

Then they wanted to charge a surprise parking fee for using their facility while we were paying guest And it doesn’t end there They kept our deposit claiming a smoking fee when we never smoked on the property at all They are only interested in stealing your money here, from check-in to check-out

We took a random trip to LA for the day, and it was supposed to be for a night We loved this stay so much we stayed and extra 3 days lol But the staff was nice, breakfast was amazing and had plenty of options

Beds super comfy I HIGHLY recommend this place The only issue I had was the pool because it wasn’t very clean, but no one really uses that Overall I loved it

thealimoshref

hotel is horrible! sheets are disgusting and they have lots of bugs in the rooms! sheets aren’t washed and mattress have stains as well couches were also ripped up too horrible customer service and wi-fi is horrible

i called them multiple times and they either hang up on you or they put you on hold the workers also talk as if they don’t care and just want to end the call definitely wouldn’t recommend this place at all! i wouldn’t even give it 1 star

1) The manager Ernesto, is no help I booked this trip on their site King Room asked for a walk in shower

Was told not possible ok fine I will deal with it (Note I booked online paid with 1 CC) Get to the was given another room ok with 2 Queen beds not what I wanted but ok I’m tired and done Used another CC for the “incidentals” Then about 30 mins later get my CC alert they charged for the Room and Incidentals Still unsure if I was charged twice2) After all the drama of getting to the room which I will give credit the beds were comfortable I have a bad knee and back this bed I slept on my back for the 1st time in a while3) Woke up ready to start my day and no water pressure look at the photoI am sorry overall 2 starts because of the bed only This place and most of these IHG hotels need a Customer service overhaul I have more issues that I will not put on this post but they need to think of people 1st let alone customers I see they show they are LGBTQ friendly I appreciate that how about Handicap people friendly? How about understanding real life things happen sometimes last minute They need to think people 1st

We came here for a two-day retreat and had a fabulous time due to the attentiveness of the staff Our event planner, Danielle, was outstanding as well as Jesse, who took care of our every need, and Joshua, who provided delicious, carefully curated and crafted breakfast and lunch – he took the time to listen to our vegan and gluten-free staff to cook specialty meals for them, as if they had their own private chef We had such a good, relaxing time and the front desk staff made us feel at home

Enjoyed the fitness room and other amenities in this sweet little hotel It’s sitting there off the freeway so it’ looks ominous But it’s so quietly and lovely inside

Mario de la Pena

Front desk staff was warm and welcoming But the hotel room itself wasn’t that great The smoke detector was barely secured and was just hanging by the wires

The bathroom sink had a strong unpleasant odor whenever you run water The bathtub plug was missing The carpet was dirty The refrigerator’s shelving was not installed correctly The hallways smelled like weed(but thats probably from the other guests) Housekeeping knocked on our door at 8:40am asking when we will be checking out which is contrary to what they advertise(staff will not bother you unless you ask for service) Breakfast costs $12 for continental or $16 for hot food, which isn’t worth it I don’t think I would return to stay at this location in the future

Miki Murphy

Hotel was average Had noisy neighbors didn’t sleep Although did get informed of free breakfast when arrived by cold food selection was actually 16 dollars When requested room to be cleaned as staying the week (per signs in room) was told they don’t clean them and I could borrow a vacuum if I wanted

Covid mask mandates are lifted, not sure what the reason a room can’t be cleaned Or remove signs that say you can request room cleaning during your stay

A Wessely

I would recommend this hotel as a bed only It’s not in the best part of town It’s on a major street so be aware to request to be on the backside of the hotel

We stayed on the street side and it does get noise with car noises and sirens through the nightIt bothered me but not the spouse or kidsOur room was huge! Free parking We didn’t attend breakfastYou get what you pay for Would I stay here again yes Would it be on the top of my list noRoom was clean It had everything you needed Great shower No issues with pressure of the water or temperatureStay with confidence

Riya Neele

I would not recommend this hotel for tourists The hotel is not located in a safe neighbourhood We would hear police constantly in the area and in the parking lot of the hotel

We did not feel safe We had many issues with the hotel We first got there and the room smelled like smoke We switched rooms and the phone was not working in the second room We were unable to contact the front desk and no one came and fixed it Bathroom had ants on the counter, walls, and floor Overall, not worth it

DeWitt Senter

Pros: Very plush towels, good shower head, comfortable bed, spacious room Cons: lots of traffic noise especially motorcycles all night long, could clearly hear the TV or media through the single door separating us from the room next door Stuffed a towel at the bottom of the door but the sound continued to leak around the rest of the door

Won’t stay here again
