Clean and comfortable room and bed. Large mini-frig a plus. Lots of hot water, good shower. Off street parking. Friendly staff. Good location, easy access to/from Hwy 580. Some restaurants, banks, gas stations and shops along MacArthur Blvd.. Furnishing are serviceable but worn. A dresser drawer was broken and could not be opened. Amenities could be better. Only one small bar of soap and no facial tissues. No wash cloth either. But good value for the price.

Parking was easy in the daytime. But new years eve it was full of crookedly parked cars at 3 AM. LOL. The lady at the front counter was fantastic! Very helpful and informative. Room served its purpose. Beds were comfortable, HUGE TV with great channel selection. Shower and toilet were pretty solid, but the toilet seat was wrong size, still did its job! Some furniture needed a good cleaning. But i didnt need or use them. Floor and sheets were fine. Was not in the area I though. Square in the neighborhood. Would stay again for a good price.

Disliked: Cleanliness
It was what I would have expected for the price. The bed was comfortable. I had to wipe off my night stand which was sticky. They need to use some bleach to clean the shower. The street was run down but pretty deserted. There were not homeless folks around there.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The area is as expected. the place could be great if they put effort into it. Bathrooms smell like urine pillows smelled of sweat and have stains burnt linen, marks on bed spread and towels It is a budget option, but the conditions of the place are just ridiculous. The bathrooms need to be properly cleaned not just wiped down. Invest in new pillows and bedding, at least give the exterior a coat of paint. There is potential since the actual rooms aren’t terrible but it needs some actual cleaning and some touc . If you just need a place to crash for a night it’s ok.

Good value for its price. The lady at the front desk was super nice and helpful. The only issue was about the cleanliness. I had some spots on the towels, so I just used my own towel for shower. And there was a lot of women’s hair around my room, mostly on the bed. Otherwise everything was fine

The owner was very accommodating - she let me leave my things for several hours after checking out in the morning and was very pleasant about it. The rooms are fine. My only concern is that it's tricky to find a nice restaurant/coffee shop in the area.

Nice Hotel Staff in a Crazy Neighborhood

People screaming obscenities in the parking lot, a stranger was harassing me in the parking lot, there was shooting outside the hotel and the towels looked dingy. The manager and staff were accommodating, professional and kind.
