The parking experience was satisfactory, likely due to the slow weekend. Unfortunately, the front desk staff was unfriendly and failed to greet me. In comparison to other options, Avenue Inn offers a superior location and better overall experience.

Decent stay for a reasonable price. Older building. You could tell they used to allow smoking in the rooms in the 70s/80s. Clean sheets and decent mattress. Floors not too clean and dust bunnies around. AC works. Windows painted shut. Fast hot water.

The room was clean and the furnishings were modern. There was a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Free parking outside our door. Easy check in. Nearby walk to a Taco Bell, Jack in the Box, and a sandwich store. There’s also a cafe nearby but it’s more of a morning place. Comfortable bed. Large shower with great water pressure. Worked perfectly for a stop after a long day on the road.

Very basic room, old but clean. we didn't spend too much time in the room. bath had hot water, good flow. small fridge had frozen all my food, I had to toss it. it was a bit stuffy in the room, there is barely air flow. it's 10-15 mins walk to the downtown. felt safe. not too much noise from the highway. it's good if you just need a clean place to sleep for 1-2 nights.
