You get what you pay for. Clean rooms, convenient location right beside freeway and river trail. Other guests are a mixed bag, some look like they live there... not going to say I wasn't worried about my car overnight. But there is security around all night. Staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. Breakfast has powdered eggs but it was enough food to get going. If you can handle "a little rough around the edges", this is for you.

My stay was absolutely horrible disgusting. The room was not clean. The bathtub was filthy roach crawling on the wall holes in the curtain. Since I was not able to take a bath for a shower. I had to do a little mini. Bath in The Basin, which ran over, was flooded nails in the wall. The bathroom sink busted upon checkout. I went directly to the office showed them. My pictures asked to have the person contact me. He never did. I want a 100% of my money back or I'm filing a claim with the health department which I've already done.
