Great for the price
As someone who's been poor all my life, I've become a connoisseur of cheap hotels. This stay was excellent for the price. I had low expectations, and they were significantly exceeded. This is the perfect place if you need a place to stay on a budget and aren't too concerned about amenities. Staff was friendly and unobtrusive

Enjoyed my room that had been totally renovated with all the conveniences.
Centrally located to downtown in easy
walking distance to all of the attractions.
It was easy to find and easy access from
the Freeway.

This hotel is in a nice location on Monterey Street. The hotel has charm and areas have been remodled, especially the bathrooms. The bed is comfortable and the sheets clean and fresh. The towels are white nd fluffy. The hotel staff is warm, friendly and personable.

The hotel is older, but just fine if you’re not planning to lounge at your hotel. It’s a more or less quiet spot with close to everything. The staff was very friendly, and check in and out was easy.
