Clean room however the shower tile is so old that it have a noticeable grey stain where it should be white. Conveniently located just off the freeway, however you can hear the freeway at night. This is a good choice if you are on a budget. I would stay here again. The staff was very friendly and checkin/checkout was hassle free
