Good place to sleep
Rooms were clean but could use so refreshing and nicer towels.
It is centrally located which was fantastic.
It’s close to freeways but did not hear much traffic but the train does go by blasting the horn even at nighttime as a warning.
Staff was very nice and helpful

The only decent thing about this place is the lady who checked us in. She was awesome. However, I would never come back. This hotel has section 8 housing and the hotel has transients and uncle table looking persons

Comfortable stay
Our stay was good, the bed was actually comfortable and the room was very clean. Except for the last day when I saw a roach crawling across the bathroom. The lobby had a funny smell and the breakfast wasn't good. Also the pool was not in working order and we were disappointed about that. This was our second choice after our first choice fell short.

First of all, I showed up to my room and the stairs were rickety and as I’m climbing the stairs, I noticed there is a homeless man washing his dick in the pool

Great service up front
This place is a section 8 housing hotel. There are vagrants everywhere. A completely unsafe area for a family. I found one resident smoking crack 2 doors down and one sitting on the stairs looking like he was tripping. This place is right under the freeway and next to the train tracks.
The lady up front checking in was awesome. Super helpful. Super nice young lady. Stay away from this place. It worked for what we needed but would never come back.

Unfortunately this was one of my worst experience with hotels. Everything started from the reception desk as the employee has been very rude from the beginning and with attitude as well. The whole campus was smelling marijuana with people cursing everywhere.
