Staff were very helpful, room was tired but about what you’d expect for the price. Main issue is the location, it’s sandwiched between the freeway and the off-ramp, and with zero soundproofing traffic noise was constant and surprisingly clear.

Parking was a pain only 7/8 spaces. What a pain cause it’s right off 163 and I do mean right off. You have to pray no one comes flying off the highway to pull out on the street. Rooms were okay. You could tell they swept the floors but were still dirty. The bathtub had hair in it when we got there.

Rooms are quite old and are reflected in details that show they’ve worn off and cover the basics, it’s clean and a good option if you want to be close to downtown for a cheaper option just keep in mind you get what you pay for or maybe a bit less. The bathroom amenities are a nice addition and clean as well and have a tub and hair dryer, also air conditioned. The bed is a bit squeaky and keep in mind it can get very noisy at night due to upstairs neighbors or the street. There are some homeless people outside but they’re harmless, we walked at 4 am after a concert on the street and it was perfectly fine.
