Hotel was small but nice, and a good coffe shop across the street. It was clean, but I was disappointed that I found an apple core that had been left in the ice bucket. Service was friendly, will stay here again if we come back to the area.

The location is very convenient, but just below the elevated freeway. However with the windows closed the noise is not bad at night. The area is not very attractive. We had a glitch with our reservation. Expedia took care of it. Would I stay again- no. I’d pay a bit more to be in a better area.. for just driving thru and needing a good nights stay this will do.

Overall good room. Bed was comfortable. Small breakfast was provided. Front desk took a long time to come to the office. We had to ring the bell twice. The TV in the room didn’t have channels or I couldn’t figure it out. They should provide directions on how to use tv.

This place is clean and inexpensive. Its in a working class neighborhood. I did not feel unsafe however i did witness what appeared to be working girls in the room next to me. They quieted down around 11 pm and were no bother to me. Theres a great coffeehouse across the street. The advertised "breakfast" at this spot is inedible (for me) packaged bagles? Packaged oatmeal...no thanks. Just get a loaf of wheat bread and some butter would be better. You guys can do it! Make a better breakfast and get some security to walk through every once in a while
