"Horrible Place"
Overall Score1.0/5
DO NOT STAY HERE! Run away as fast as you can. Do not book in advance. See the room first. Very difficult to deal with for refunds. This place is similar to a homeless shelter.

"It was discussed."
Overall Score2.0/5
Arrived for my nephew navy graduation, one of the beds was not changed, the floor was so nasty and was not sweep, toilet was stopped, had to go and get a plugger to undo it because their was no maintenance. Went to the Dollar Store and purchased cleaning supplies and clean the room before we felt like we could stay there. Otherwise the beds slept well, our shower worked great. We tried to go to another hotel but was full due to graduations.

Expedia Group verifies all reviews to ensure that the customer has indeed booked on our site. To encourage customers to submit their reviews, we send an email containing a link to evaluate the hotel to which we sometimes attach a reduction or Expedia Rewards voucher to use on a future trip. We post all reviews whether they are positive or negative, to the extent that they respect our content directives. This monitoring is automated. Any rejection is manually checked and, if maintained, notified to the reviewer by email with reasons. We do not otherwise process changes, nor reviewer contact. We de-list reviews after 4 years, other than for properties having a non-significant number of reviews.

"Our group has done this weekend away for 10+ years always in the Napa/Sonoma area in the Spring. For the past 3 years we have stayed at the same location in Sonoma. This year I used your site to try to find a different and more reasonably priced location. Not only did I find a fantastic hotel in a great new location, I save $100 per night over last year's room fee." J.F. - San Francisco, CA
