    I have stayed here before and I am really disappointed on the decline of service. The room is very clean but there are bugs running around. I didn’t notice at first. But at night I saw a huge one which I killed and have a photo of. Then I saw another close to my drink maybe 20 minutes later. After I switched room I moved my purse to see a baby cockroach hiding underneath. They switched my room but it wasn’t ready there was so much laundry on the bed and the toilet doesn’t flush

    The Indian gentleman at the front desk (owner?) was very kind and accommodating of my last minute booking. Wanting to extend my stay, he organized for my suitcase to be moved to my new room as I intended to be gone the whole day. The room itself is quite dated, but I would stay again for the customer service (and its convenience to Starbucks and In-n-Out).

    It was cleaner than I thought. The air conditioner was extremely loud and I could hear the people upstairs walking around. I had what appears to be a partially "upgraded" room- vinyl flooring and the trim was newer and not sticking. The bathroom light was missing a fixture as well. Overall, it was good for the price

    Side note: I’m 5’11” tall and the shower head was below the side of my face. Didn’t even use their shower and turned key and remote back to management the following morning and lady manager almost didn’t give me my deposit back to me just out of spite because I told them their room was substandard (nasty) and I wanted my money back which they declined to do. I’ll be making a claim to my credit card company regarding this business that should really be investigated by the health and fire department. What a slum!

    Our need was just an overnight stay for a baseball tournament. The check-in process was a bit long but that wasn't a big deal. The carpet was stained and there was some type of shavings on the toilet seat cover and on the side of the toilet. The fridge was also in desperate need of a defrost. Functional.

    I was just a little apprehensive about this trip after reading a few of the unfavorable reviews -- happily for us, those concerns were unfounded. The front desk staff were friendly and accommodating, our room was clean and comfortable. The shower pressure was really nice and consistent. We had enough towels. There were no noisy neighbors. The room was older and there were a few things that need fixing -- painting over wall patches and refinishing the bathtub, but overall, it was a very pleasant stay. We would go back again.

    We had originally booked for 1Q Bed & we were upgraded to a King Suite for my Birthday. That was a kind gesture. Our Rm was descent for what we paid & expected by the look of the place. It was fairly clean however Bathtub could have been cleaned better, It was very difficult to sleep since the walls are thin w/the rooms close to each other. Our next door neighbors were talking up a storm until after 3am. Aside of that it was an "Okay" stay. We really only needed to sleep but didn't manage to get much of it. We might be back someday as a last resort...
