Old hotel. Probably OK when 1st built but has sunk to current level. It does have free parking and easy access to the freeway. My room smelled of old smoke covered by some sort of cleaning scent. It did get better by the second day. No In room coffee but the filling station next door had excellent coffee

This place is not bad, but during the night, twice, someone was attempting to open every door with a key card. Not sure if they were intoxicated or looking to actively harm someone. This was a bit off putting.
