You don't stay here because you're looking for the best room in town. You stay here because it's cheap and near downtown. Perfectly fine for a solo trip, but probably not where I'd bring kids.

Threatened to cancel my room if I didn’t arrive by 11:30 PM - which I have never experienced before. Floor had reddish brown spatter and a sticker on it. Wall had rust colored spatter on it. Headboards dirty and had a cigar sized hole out of it. No functioning ice machine. Everything was such a disaster in the room and check in that I barely noticed the freeway noises outside with the homeless person and street walker. I wish this was satire, but it unfortunately was not.

Booked a room for one night, paid my $100 deposit fee which should’ve been reimbursed, but they took my $100. We did no damages to the room at all. Staff taking advantage because we are a young couple. Don’t recommend booking this place.
