| - NO MORE THAN 3 STARS - YES, FOR REAL. IT WASN'T REAL BAD BUT IT WASN'T REAL AWESOME EITHER. I have travelled extensively and there is no way this place is a 4 or 5. It is not possible. Period. I am at the hotel now (Tuesday, March 27th, 2012). This is a very budget, average and spartan establishment. It will take a map or GPS to find this place. I used GPS with no problem. It is clean and modern looking from the outside in a good area for hotels. The parking lot looks modern. No scary people around that I can see. The check-in was good. If you get a deal with this place brace yourself for a very small, spartan room with little, if any, art on the walls (more like a dorm room). One reviewer said that some of the rooms are depressing - I would agree with that comment. I bought some items the first day to brighten up the room. For real, as I am in this for 4 nights on a pre-pay. The toilet works but makes strange sounds. The water for the shower is hot. I cranked it this afternoon to test. The counter space in the room is minimal. the beds have older mattresses and they were lumpy and close to the end of their usefulness. The view is nothing short of very average - parking lots, a view of the Sheraton, a small hill, traffic from the freeway. The pool is smallish and will not take your breath away but is adequate. Towels are old and badly in need of replacement. Bring your own shampoo, soap, etc, Look it, for the price, this is a great 1 or 2 night stay at best. I certainly would not pay more than $50 bucks all in. Do not book this place for a romantic getaway, a birthday, an anniversary, in fact, do not book this place for any awesome occasion. This is a pit stop on the way to something fantastic. Do not stay more than 1 or 2 nights. You have been warned. PS. The wifi is not 100% fast or reliable as others have hinted at. The wifi ranged from barely usable (high frustration/ shut down computer due to poor connection) to very good with slower downloads at times. Do not stay here if you need super fast and reliable internet. This place is what it is - basic and short term. For real.
