Room was clean and staff was very nice. There was cereal, coffee/juice, and some muffins/yogurt by the front desk. Just be careful booking your room. I accidently booked a smoking room, and it smelled very strong of cigarettes'.
Requested smoke free room and was placed in one that was penetrated with the smoking smell.
The chair was stained.
Aside from the smoking stench and the stained old chair, the room was clean. The tub, shower and toilet were very clean.
Room was spacious with a comfortable bed. Only negative is when i walked around the room barefoot, the bottom of my feet got black from dirty floor. Parking was great. Felt safe.
Room was decent and service was good. Breakfast could have been more to offer. Parking was reasonable. Area around the property had transients and prostitutes.
Everything was good. Clean and comfortable. Nice and friendly staff. Liked that you couldn’t hear outside noise. Bathroom could use some upgrades on the extras like the toilet paper holder. But overall was worth it. This is our second time staying here.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was very clean. The bed was very comfortable & the shower was ok.
Nothing flashy, but a clean room at a reasonable price. Several good restaurants within walking distance, but I wouldn’t leave the property after dark. Neighborhood was a little sketch.
Pleasant stay overall. Front desk staff at check-in was super engaging, friendly, and accommodating. Room was adequate, bed being especially comfortable. Amenities included a microwave and mini refrigerator. Plenty of free parking. Stayed on a Friday night and property was quiet. Would stay again.
