Upon my arrival from dinner after checking in, I witnessed a prostitute solicited for services from several men on the street and she then proceed to check-in to a room. Several cars came and left after that. As I was taking a shower, I could hear yelling and arguing, with several explicit words used, including the "N" word.
Great place for the kids! And unless you really love Burger King, there isn't a decent place to eat for miles and good luck asking the front desk for help Have a great stay! I'm not a baby.
I don't have to complain about the staff endlessly. They are just 5 minutes of my entire stay, so.. Not everyone in the hospitality business is actually hospitable. It's a shame, but should it really deter you from staying at the hotel? Not in my opinion. Anyway, as stated in some other reviews, the hotel is pretty cute from the outside, but the family that apparently runs it is just NOT meant to be in the hospitality industry. They're not mean, they're just not friendly either. But nothing terrible, just average people that aren't smiley, etc.
The room itself was not even comparable to the Motel 6, where I also stayed. The Motel 6 was smelly, there was no countertop to fix your hair, no hair dryer in the room, very few channels on TV, and in general, everything was worse except the fact that the room was big, but really, who cares about that? It's true, "breakfast," if you can call it that, though free, is also a joke. Dry cereal and coffee, and that's basically it. The pool seemed nice, though not really hot, but I couldn't figure out how to open the gate!
The pool area was small, but nice. The area itself wasn't the best, but we had friends in the area in San Rafael, so that's where we stayed there. Convenient to the freeway, though. This was the cheapest hotel I could find in the area, followed by the Motel 6 and others, but this one was WAY better than Motel 6. I'd stay here again if I'm going to the area again. The area isn't "scary," it's just industrial and not very homey.
