Staff was nice and service was quick. Room was clean enough. There was some dust on the floors. Outside is very loud and the refrigerator makes a noise every so often, but we were still able to get a decent sleep. Mattress was VERY firm. For those who prefer a soft bed, you will not be comfortable here. Not perfect, not bad either.
I like that the process is easy and basic amenities are decent despite the conditions.

Great place. Great agents.very friendly and had no issues.
They charged a fee for an extra pillow. The mattress was comfortable & the shower water pressure was good. The electricity didn’t work on one side of the room. The air conditioner had trouble keeping the room cool, even at night.
The staff will confuse you by asking for a deposit in unegociable cash.
owner went mad hitting my door for almost 10 mins asking me for another ID becouse mine will expire before the stay ends, I really dont know whats the issue, in the airport the TSA used my now expired ID without problem.
Never came to clean nor even to do the bedding in a whole week stay
Never coming back
It was so quiet I slept like a rock, well when fiancé let me. We work a city apart and when our days off collide we will visit each other. It was my turn to head to LA so we wanted a quiet simplistic spot nothing fancy. This was it. And the bed had a cute nostalgic squeaky sound to it and it’s those mattresses that sleep very well aside from memory foam lol. But this is a nice spot. I would rent a room again.
When you enter the lobby, it looks pretty neat so it is deceiving. The hotel was filthy. There were roaches. The ice machine did not work. The outside grounds was filthy. The bathtub was filthy. It only had one face towel, one hand towel and no cups..
