Not terrible but not great. The room was dusted well and property looked a bit run down. Parking very small and crowded.

Right next to the freeway for easy access. The place was simple but the bathroom had a weird ticking sound in the ceiling. Parking was over full when I got back from my outing so I had to park on the street.
Room was clean but when we checked the bathroom the bottom border of the wall had mold. Had to call room service for towels because there was none. Bed felt like it had tins cans inside it
Surprisingly felt very clean and the bedding was very comfortable. Good value and location. The bathroom seemed recently renovated, but the shower did not get hot! You will be shivering and taking the fastest shower ever.

For the first time as a woman traveling alone, a man just wrote my room number down and did not say it out loud even though we were just the two people in the office.
