Comfortable and clean

Good stay, only thing that bothered me was that the remote was extremely sticky, with what i am assuming was because of a cleaner they used.

Hotel had some construction in progress. However continued into the AM! Could hear heavy objects being moved around all night. Someone started hammering at 7am one morning. Bathroom didn't even have a toilet brush.Fridge was exceptionally noisy in the room. 2 days of something beeping in the hall ( low battery fire alm perhaps ). Did not get a good nights sleep entire stay. Won't be back.

They say location, location, location and it’s true. Dining and shopping are easily walkable, which we have done for every night (8 days) except when going to Koreatown for some Korean BBQ. The motel is currently going through minor renovations as of 12/11/2024. Overall the motel is pleasing to the eye, cleanliness and decor. The breakfast was great (revolving hot items such as 2 omelettes(cheese, egg whites w veggie, or cheese and ham), 2 types of sausages(turkey or pork) or bacon. There are the usual cold cereal of 3 choices and fruits (banana and orange). Lots of danish pastries. Hot oatmeal. There is a mini-frig with various items (yogurt, hard boiled eggs, small water bottles, and maybe some other things). The only negative is the sound. It is close to the airport, so gets loud when planes take off or land. You can hear TV playing or people walking upstairs. I would stay here again.

Honestly pretty great hotel. It was quiet and clean, check in was really easy. The breakfast was well stocked and had a lot of options. My only complaint is that after getting off the elevator to my second floor room I still had to drag my suitcase up 12 stairs to get to my room.
