I shop for my hotels by price, not by surroundings, and this place was both inexpensive and comfortable. Located in the middle of an industrial or heavy commercial neighborhood, we were surrounded by freeways and semi-trucks. Walking around the area for fun wasn't an option, nor was exploring the neighborhood for quaint places to eat. But, as far as accomodiations go it was fine. The staff were very friendly.
When we booked in we were told the pool was not open (which was a huge disappointment) but it turns out they were doing a cleaning and it would be open the next day. This was okay, and we had fun swimming one day (except my toddler, who was scared by my cannonball splash!)
Our rooms featured a small kitchen suite complete with everything you might need like plates, silverware, cooking pots, etc. The bed was comfortable though it started to come undone by the second night. Perhaps that was a combination of us pulling the sheets and struggling to get the room into a nice temperature range. It was either really hot or really cold, with the A/C blowing literally onto the bed 6" away from it. Our view out of the window overlooked more truck distribution centers, but the airport a mile away provided Harrison with lots of views of planes coming and going. The glass walled shower was fun for him to play in with the water too.
A couple of nits: they offered a nice hot breakfast but it never varied the three days we were there. I like english muffin breakfast sandwiches, but by the last day I wanted a waffle or pancakes or something else. They have Nutella spread on request. Their door locks close really hard and can be heard down the hall, and they will wake you in the night if you are a light sleeper. Also, we were warned on checking in not to keep valuables in your car... and on my elevator ride up I talked with a guy whose car was stolen here last year. Yikes!
You get what you pay for here. If you have a working GPS, don't mind a busy neighboorhood in the middle of nowhere, and don't want to spend a lot of money you will be fine. read more
