It’s very small, very basic, but all you need. If you’re picky/bougie don’t stay here. My room was not sparkly clean, there was hair in the shower and a used contact lens on the floor near the bed (gross). The “closet” had three plastic hangers, the bathroom is a small closet. The mini fridge worked well, as did the window a/c unit. There was no view, the window shades covered all and there was no point in opening them to look at a building. Sure, the bed was comfy, but not anything special, it just wasn’t a bad bed. Four pillows. I did appreciate the vanity mirror with a built in light. The door barely locked, a bit scary for a single woman traveler such as myself but there was no issue. There is a shared kitchen, it looked clean but I didn’t use it. This is basically a deluxe hostel, and you get what you pay for. I also liked that the people at the front desk were all friendly, and they held my luggage for me after checking out.

This place is amazing. It has laundry so you can wash your clothes but you have to bring your own detergent. There is a change machine in the laundry room as well. The parking was great just make sure you pay ahead for parking cause the do fill up and run outta spots. The front desk was helpful and amazing. Can’t wait to stay here next time.

Room was clean and bed was comfortable. There was a tiny closet, but no hangers to hang your clothes. We had a large table/counter which I appreciated. The room had a view to the freeway. we had to play with the AC to get the temperature just right and the fan from the AC muffled the noise from the freeway. We were able to catch a bus across the street from the hotel that took us to old town for just $2.50 per person. The hotel is in a nice location with shopping and restaurants close by

It was a very comfortable place. The noise did not bother me. There are places to get food close by. Considering the warning of it's limited Service and freeway noise in the email, it's a fairly good place to stay.
