Traveling for business, just 1 night. Not ADA friendly. Chairs not conducive for sitting at the desk to do work. Bed not comfortable. Sketchy neighborhood. I usually have no issues at best westerns so I thought it would be fine. Lesson learned.

Great!

Hotel was great for the night. I arrived very late and the receptionist was still very friendly. My room was very clean and comfortable. A little outdated but I found it to be very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

The pictures hid the fact that there was no elevator only outside stairs and outside doors. Advertised guest laundry and did was not operational, and the train tracks were across the road and had trains all night long.

The place is nice, clean and staff was friendly and would have been great if it wasn't next to the freeway. You hear all the freeway traffic and the building just vibrates when the train goes by. If one don't mind the noise then everything else is good
