This property is the worst place we’ve ever stayed at! It was outdated about 50 years! There was a tv on constantly in the tiny lobby and i could hear it in my room. We weren’t aware there wasn’t an elevator . My husband and I are 70 years old with bad backs/hips etc. we would like a refund as soon as possible.

It was easy access to the freeways and inexpensive. However, the bathroom door didn't shut because of the humidity and the bathroom fan didn't work and sounded like an airplane taking off. It was fine for a night's stay.
