Clean room however the shower tile is so old that it have a noticeable grey stain where it should be white. Conveniently located just off the freeway, however you can hear the freeway at night. This is a good choice if you are on a budget. I would stay here again. The staff was very friendly and checkin/checkout was hassle free

First the good: it is inexpensive, and the staff are extremely friendly. That's all. We had a reservation for 3 nights amd just left after the first one. The rooms are in terrible condition, and do not at all look like the pictures online. The sheets were covered in someone's hair. The furniture was all broken or missing parts. There's a new kitchenette with stove, but no pans. The shower head sprayed more water out the back than the actual spout so we couldn't bathe, which was the last straw. Save yourself the trouble and just stay anywhere else.
