Room space is ok, but the mattress is so old and hard.

Disliked: Amenities
Earlier in the day I called and requested a room close to the elevator and was told it would not be a problem. My wife and I are handicapped and struggle with long walks.
The person who checked us in did not care about my request and gave us a room furthest from the elevator.
Bathroom is very dirty. No cleaning done before leaving to next person. P**p was everywhere inside the toilet bowl.... Terrible experience and I won't recommend for any families
(-) Some electrical outlets were loose. Room was not ready after I checked in. Floor still wet. Stairwell had slight smell of urine.
(-) No restaurants or drive -thru places open near hotel area after 10pm.
(+) Manager and housekeeper (very friendly) were very helpful.
(+)Availability of parking spaces visible from my room.
(- and +) Somewhat seedy location but there were a lot of cameras viewable from check-in office. Also saw two security folks doing patrols of hotel area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Unsafe area with plenty of homeless around the place. Some strange guests were also at the hotel
Every time we stay here its always great friendlyist staff you'll ever meet.and its quiet there if your looking for a good place to stay super 8 is the best
Not friendly or welcoming. Soda machine not working. People smoking outside the rooms. Limited parking spaces. Room was ok, linen was thin (threadbare). Only one chair in the room for two people to sit and eat.
