The location is perfect, but they have little staff and it takes a long time to check out. Unfortunately my room was next to another room, people don't respect shouting and making noise until very late.

Liked: Cleanliness
The building is fairly old, though some upgrades have been made to give it a slightly modern touch. The toilets are pretty old, so they're low and you might have to play with the handles to get them to flush. The beds are full size, which are on the smaller side, and the rooms are a bit tight, especially for a family of four. That said, the location is decent and convenient for visiting the area—right next to the freeway, close to food, and near the wharf and Cannery Row. These small and affordable rooms work well if you're just there to sleep with a family of four.
