This was my husband and I (2nd) time staying at this property! From 3/26/25 through 3/27/25! They have a parking garage attached that you can use while staying at the hotel. Yes, you must pay before leaving. We were charged $66.00 for the two days. When we stayed there six years ago and this past weekend it is the same quality of service which consist of being clean, quiet and the bed was extremely comfortable. The rooms are small but perfect for a couple! We plan to return for a few days again next June of 2026! Five stars! Marquetta Robinson..

Restaurants closed early and couldn’t get food after 8:30p. Food trucks food quality was very poor. They didn’t speak English hence my order was incorrect. They don’t accept credit card only cash. The hotel breakfast was a complete JOKE. It was awful. The parking was ok. EV parking they wanted me to pay cash when they accepted credit card for the daily parking. Not clear why they wouldn’t accept credit for EV parking. The rooms are SUPER small to the point of claustrophobia. Don’t recommend and will not return to this hotel

The front desk person was really nice and helpful. Unfortunately I can’t recall his name, but I checked in around 11pm, so I’m assuming he’s the overnight receptionist . The hotel itself was clean from what I saw. However, the rooms are tiny ! Like very very small. I booked a regular king size room. There’s not much space to walk around or anything. Another negative is that when I came in my room for the first time, it smelled like someone just smoked in there. So I called the front desk just To let them know what it smelled like in the room, so they don’t try to see that it was me or try to keep my deposit. The front desk agent thanked me for calling to let him know. Overall, my stay was OK.

Pretty good rate for the location - near a train stop and by a variety of open late restaurants in Chinatown. The room itself was fine for 3 people with no check-in sized luggages however, the walls were a bit thin and you could hear people's conversations, etc. Check-in was a bit hard only because we had a car. Parking is a bit hard (either on the packed street or if you know where the parking lot is beforehand). For a quick couple of days, I would stay here again.
