The rooms were very nice and clean. I liked how cool it looked inside like homie. The only thing is the view of the homeless outside but besides that it was nice. They had lots of tv channel options. Will stay here every time i come visit from now on.

Disappointing Stay - Would Not Recommend I was deeply disappointed by our stay at this hotel. The pictures online were very misleading and did not match the actual condition of the property at all. The room itself was far from clean: the bed sheets were dirty and had hairs on them, which was quite disgusting. The bathtub was also dirty and had hair (including pubic hair) in it, which was off-putting. The parking situation was inconvenient, and the surrounding area felt unsafe. There were many homeless individuals camping in tents around the building, lingering nearby, which made us feel uneasy. Overall, it was not the experience we imagined, and I would not recommend this hotel to others.

Checked in late, my key did not worked. Room front door frame broken, looked like it was kicked in and couldn't latch and secure my door. Homeless camp right next to my window. I had reserved three nights, needless to say i checked out the very next day and went to another hotel.

The price is good for what you get the only thing is that if you look closely some of the towels are dirty the mirror was so dirty and full of spots that I didn’t know where the came from and the parking is not the best two cars per parking space so if you were in front and there was a car behind you. You wouldn’t be able to leave until the person behind you left if your able to spend a little more money than I recommend it but if you need something for 2 or 3 days this hotel will do

Room was dirty, our sheets were stained so we asked them to change them which resulted in them not cleaning our room for 2 days. We understand you get what you paid for but as we were going to be out all day all we expected were clean sheets and a clean room and didn’t even receive that.
