The property is old and right next to a busy freeway. The front door did not securely close...gaps all around and we could not turn on the faucet in the bathroom to the shower. The staff was great and the room was generally clean, but really showing wear and tear.

My room had a water issue. Managet was proactive and called before we got there and gave us an alternative arrangement. I liked the room decor. Nice and bright. My one big negative was the electronic locks. Didn't engage/disengage at first swipe. He to play with it a little. Just a slight annoyance door did lock. Just had to work a little to get it open.

I just needed a place to sleep for a night and this was just fine. It’s not as nice as a high end hotel, but it’s at least half the price. I didn’t want or expect a high end hotel, but this one was plenty good for the price

Couldn’t reply to this query until I came home to get a WiFi connection. Needed maps to navigate unknown city. Useless connection/coverage. Not again. Would pay more if Wi-Fi was actually included in the rental cost but this seems like bait and switch. Receptionist needs to pursue improvement in speech, does not pronounce consonants which leads to misunderstanding instructions.
