I believe the owners of this property have made a real effort to give a good experience for a reasonable price. Everything in the room was operational. The outside landscaping and pool area was above average. Things like the bedspread and curtains in the room were worn and shabby - they definitely need improvement.

Cockroaches in the room, mainly in the bathroom early morning. I didn't see any breakfast, just coffee. Aside from that it's ok for the price but others nearby without roaches. Location is a few long blocks away from any markets.

Everything in the room was not working appropriately (broken toilet handle, burnt out light over sink area). Very difficult to communicate with staff either a language barrier or those that do speak English are just very rude. High homeless population traveling to hotel or hanging out at hotel.
