The hotel is in a urban area. It was fairly close to the airport, easy to find, and had ample parking space. The check in was quick, and efficient. Used the online portal. The hotel is very dated, but it was clear that they were trying to update certain areas. The only thing that was difficult was the noise of the trains passing by so night long.

This should be false advertising with how many things were broken in the room. When I got there they told me the heater and AC were broken but I could use a space heater. When I tried to get the space heater from front desk the first night they said they ran out. The second night they gave me one that was also broken. The room was freezing both nights. The room had a door leading to the room next door and I could hear everything. The doors were also constantly slamming in the halls.

There is too much noise. Cargo train pass by, and the Mtrack train passes every hour—sometimes every half hour. It is very hard to sleep, especially if you have kids. In the hallways and elevators, smell marijuana.”

Honestly I was skeptical about staying here at first, but I must say for the price I payed, I wasn’t mad at all. The room was actually pretty nice, spacious, and cozy. Some things need improvement of course, but overall I wasn’t grossed out. Now the hallway journey to the room was a little sketchy but, the location is everything. So much culture and beauty in the Jack London square area! The staff was helpful. So may great restaurants in the area! Honestly if you just ask the front desk to put u in one of the nicer rooms they will especially if they see you are from outta town! I’ll never forget this motel ever. It was my home for 5 days while I was in town performing in a comedy festival. It got the job done.
