I have stayed at this hotel for years when I go back home to visit my family. It was always clean, and is located near enough to things like restaurants, grocery stores, a Walgreens all within walking distance. Plus, my sister only lives a few miles from there. I have given this hotel a very good review in the past, but not after this last trip. I will not be staying there again, because IMO the place is not safe! There were drug addicts hanging around asking people for money. The day I encountered them, they were sitting on the bench right outside the side door, and asked me for money to buy food as soon as I came out. As I was driving away, I saw one of them actually go up to a car that had pulled into the front to go into the hotel for checking in. I was there for two weeks, so I had given my 17 year old niece my spare key for personal reasons. I did not inform the front desk about it, nor did I take her down to the lobby to introduce her as a probable visitor to my room. I got back to the hotel around 10:30 one night, with my arms full of bags. I got upstairs only to find my room key would not work. So, I dragged all the bags back down to the desk to ask why my room key didn't work for the fourth time in ten days. When I told the young lady at the desk my room number and volunteered my name, she said "Oh, there was a young woman here earlier, and I reactivated her key". I just said, oh..that was my niece. When I finally got to my room, I found a note from my niece saying she and her boyfriend had stopped by to get some ice cream he had left in the mini fridge. That is when the feeling that I had been violated in a way. The feeling that someone had been in my room and could have gone through all my personal things, and taken anything they found. Again, it was my niece, so I was not angry at the time. But I sure got that way after a couple of days when I realized that anyone who had noticed me going in and out of that room could have come up with a plausible reason why they needed access to it. I never received a call to my room, or to my cell phone that was on file with my reservation. Instead, access was given to a pretty, personable young woman who brought a room key to the desk, and said her Aunt was staying in room XXX, and had given her my spare key, but the key didn't work now. So, her key was reactivated which caused my key to be useless. So, after staying at this hotel at least once a year for 2-3 weeks each visit, for well over 10 years, I will not stay there again. I will spare anyone reading this the story of the injured cat (possibly paralyzed after being struck by a car) I reported for three days to the front desk, only to finally call the local police department to try to report it to animal control myself. I was disgusted that three different adults had no interest at all in finding help for a poor injured animal. So, all I can say now is, do not stay at this hotel! There's a Holiday Inn Express right on the other side of the freeway, and a La Quinta just a few miles further west. I will be staying at the Holiday Inn for any future visits. less
