Clean room. Plenty of parking. Dated building but they keep it clean, and for the price, value, there is no room to complain. It’s a bargain. Close to freeway and plenty of food options close by.

Yes the room was neglected.people were looking in the widow the curtains didn’t close all the way . My life was threatened by one of the persons that were living there apparently “I will slit your throat when you’re sleeping tonight after I asked him to be quiet several times when I got there a chicken in the office I asked for a quiet room, the girl immediately gave me a room all the way down by the at the end of the building by the freeway I noticed it was noisy with the traffic. I said I could probably deal with that to myself as I entered the room I didn’t heard all kinds of noise from a gentleman upstairs downstairs in the parking lot same gentleman for two hours when I asked him to be quiet I came here for peace and quiet. That’s when my life was threatened, having to argue with himwith him. The clerk at the desk, I asked for a change room immediately due to the noise and a threat she would not accommodate me. I tried to sleep, and he was outside my room with his mother, making a noise, threatening me. I called the police. He escorted me out of there, and I went home. I would like to be reimbursed for my stay at that terrible place.

Bed bugs, roaches, a running toilet (all night), doors not correctly installed, and no insulation, so noise and insects crawl under the doors, and the staff are unfriendly.
