Although I probably wouldn’t stay here again, I wouldn’t discourage anyone else from booking. Front desk was kind and helpful. Room was a little dark and small but it was clean and you could smell the clean as soon as you walked in so that was the main thing that mattered to me. Housekeeping stopped by daily to check and see if I needed anything which was nice. Furniture was dated and stained. It is on a busy road so I did not care for the sound of the traffic. The parking lot is pretty tight. There’s lots of stores and restaurants nearby. Neighborhood was okay but I tried to stay aware of my surroundings.

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.

6/10 Good

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.

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.

4/10 Fair

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.

Hair was all-over the floor in room and the bathroom floor as well. My daughter found hair in the towels I. The bathroom. When we asked for another hand towel they could only give me one...

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

It was fairly quiet. The rooms did need new TV and perhaps a blow drier would have been nice but no big complaints.
