This HOJO is right off the expressway, a block away from a strip mall, and is a very basic 2-star motel with very poor service. But it was only around $40, so who am I to complain? So-so on cleanliness, very underwhelming 'breakfast', nice enough pool area, really depressing little bar with the same regulars sitting there drinking cheap draft... More

I booked through Hotwire which I won't do again. I was wary about not knowing the hotel name before booking but a family member wanted to save money so I took a chance. The hotel is located immediately next to the expressway, but I was surprised that there really wasn't a problem with noise (we were extremely tired both nights... More

Clean and spacious rooms. Incredibly friendly staff! Steve the security guard is awesome and Anna at Coconut's makes the best Piña Colada you've ever had! Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a good affordable hotel with a staff that goes out of their way for you! More

Sorry long post. Stayed in March when rooms in area were in short supply and highly priced due to aviation event. As walk-in customers we checked in and paid for room. After viewing the room decided it was unsatisfactory and even if we had to drive much further would not stay. Returned to reception to inform of change of plans.... More

My husband and I found this hotel on priceline and since it was an "Executive Center" we thought it would be appropriate for guests who were in town for a conference. Well, we checked in and our room was just what you would expect from a 2-star hotel. The problems started around 10:00 that night when we realized they had... More
