Great Staff
Excellent service from staff. Initial issue with room keys and actual room were addressed and resolved in a timely manner. Property was walking distance to trolley and everything I needed to do during my stay.

Why would they let people stay?

Christopher, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Was good price from the room with free breakfast. Bed was very comfortable
Judy, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Fine for the price
Not bad for the price, at the same token, I’d have paid more for a hotel not next to a freeway off-ramp. People enjoy exercising their acceleration muscles on that ramp. Makes for an interesting night.
Jram, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don’t stay here!!
Wifi didn’t work during the stay, no towels in the bathroom, no hand soap, dirty and sticky floors, and overall it was a horrible experience.

8/10 Very good

One night stay
Checkin process was fast and was able to check in a little early too. The lady at the desk was nice and friendly really appreciated that.
Amanda, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Normal Dive Hotel Then…
Arrived Friday night. Everything seemed normal. Then Saturday morning, all day and night…no hot water. No WiFi which means no cable. Room keys reset and have to get them reactivated Saturday. Pretty much a hostel at the end of the day. Was told a manger would get back to me. Never happened. Won’t be back.

This is the only place i stay

10/10 Exceptional

We had a very nice stay! The place was cute and cozy, with the host providing thorough instructions and all the necessary codes for parking and entry. It was clean, quiet, and we felt safe, even though the neighborhood initially seemed a bit intimidating. Overall, a great experience, and we would definitely stay here again!
Erika, 1-night trip

Everyone was awesome from start to finish. Couldn't ask for a better stay

Very nice property, roons are wonderful. There were a lot of homeless walking around. We ran into a couple fooling around and doing drugs under a stairwell. Convenient to the highway. Affordable.
