This was the worst day I’ve ever stayed in. We first walked in the walls were all black and dirty. Toilet seat was broken, no bath towel towels. There was a hole on the roof of the restroom holes in all the walls. We filled them with toilet paper because we didn’t know if someone was looking at us the day after we stayed our first day we started getting roaches all over it was disgusting. I complained, but they didn’t care.

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
