    Good location The other guests made me uncomfortable, and that's understatement. This is not a hotel. This is a motel, but that's fine. The worst part is I was woken up by a guy 3AM who talked over the phone in foreign language right outside of my room, and he literally screamed at the phone and was very emotionally unstable. I don't dare open the door and ask him to be quiet due to his mental state and for fear he has weapon.

    I didn’t like anything. The front desk guy was grumpy, key card didn’t work, guys were smoking outside, there was aggressive people fighting in one the rooms, the room smelled like tobacco, there was not a smoke alarm in the room, the bed had a lot of black stains, There was even nails and trash in the drawers.

    Good location, good price. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Plenty of parking. Terrible WiFi, keeps dropping off. No breakfast. Narrow room: chair at desk stacked to the bed!

    Courteous , knowledgeable and professional. Very neighborly, front receptionist even recommended best eateries near their location. The building faced the sunset so it'll get hot and warm towards the evening, but that's just because if the season.
