Clean room however the shower tile is so old that it have a noticeable grey stain where it should be white. Conveniently located just off the freeway, however you can hear the freeway at night. This is a good choice if you are on a budget. I would stay here again. The staff was very friendly and checkin/checkout was hassle free

Aww man I usually don’t do this but I had a friend come in town for the night and when I say we wasted money we booked this room I walked in and walked right out. I would not recommend they do no house keeping and bed has stains that I would not think a hotel would leave there
