Clean room however the shower tile is so old that it have a noticeable grey stain where it should be white. Conveniently located just off the freeway, however you can hear the freeway at night. This is a good choice if you are on a budget. I would stay here again. The staff was very friendly and checkin/checkout was hassle free

Only if you have to

This hotel needs huge upgrades. There was wet drywall behind the toilet that looked like it was molding, the ceiling tiles had stains, the baseboards were black and grimy, and I killed two cockroaches. On another note, the staff was very helpful, responsive, and pleasant.

The bathroom shower head could use replacing and the walls in there could use a cleaning with some cabinet replacements the beds were really uncomfortable no coffee pot or condiments the towels were stained and the bed cover had burn holes all through it. I think a little changes and this place would be the place to go if you like the piece and quite. Which I do. So I felt like I picked the right place to go. They just need a little TLC.
