It’s clean and centrally located. Less than half the price of local hotels. Located just 100 feet from the 101 freeway, it’s slightly noisy. I would stay again.

This is an older property and lacking in basic creature comforts such a bedside lamp. Nights stands old and scratched up. One of the queen side bend offering narrow path to the bathroon.

The walls in the bathroom were filthy all the way around. The light switches in the bathroom were also filthy. The shutters in the bedroom had goop on them. There is no place to hang any shirt or trousers, and there was no coffee.
There was one small plastic drinking cup individually wrapped in a package that had already been opened.
The staff was very kind and try to be as accommodating as possible.

Small and quaint. Clean. It is in the frontage road, so you do hear some traffic, but in the room it wasnt bad. There isnt an air conditioner, however, the room faced South, so it was a comfortable temperature

Great location for what we needed. Nothing fancy, but worked out well. No A/C in the room, to keep it cool, we needed to leave windows open, but then we'd hear traffic. Other than that, it was perfect for a place to stay for the night.
