The ground floor room was clean as were the bedding and towels. Two queen beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was very powerful. The whole place was a bit smaller and more basic than expected for the price but there were two cafes less than a minute away for breakfast options and a hundred yards away was Tony’s 24 hour Mexican food which was truly excellent.

Not bad if you need a quick affordable place to sleep. Traffic can be a little loud but the price is usually good enough to look past that. Also, easy to find street parking.
