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 is nice . The room is clean the only issue I had was the remote for the tv didn’t work not many channels to watch either.

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.
The first room was full of bed bugs. While the front desk did not want to give a refund, I decided to stay in a “cleaner” room. The rooms are run down and some have bed bugs. Didn’t expect much but doesn’t mean we should lay down with bugs.
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..
