Good hotel, staff was amazing, Tony check us in witch was easy, and he even told us a story about a fake $20, Every time we came in he always asked us if we need anything, and if we did asked, it was taken care right the and there. Room was nice, little dated. A/c would freeze you out, tv size was nice but it did have a few pixels that were not working. Towels were really thin, but did the job. The room are not really well insulated, we heard kids running around in the room above us all night, and was woke up by a trash truck dumping a dumpster. Location, was good really close to a lot of great restaurants, must try Marie Mexican cuisine, The only issues I had with the location was there where homeless people at the stop light right in front of the hotel, I know the hotel can do nothing about that

Staff was wonderful and accommodating. Location was great for what we needed. Bathroom was a little ruff after their renovations. Breakfast-cold coffee, cereal, apples,bananas, flat eggs. I found a red stain on my shower curtain that lookes like blood. Would stay again during week nights only for price point

Breakfast was acceptable, dinning area was clean. Entrance is well decorated, well lit, smells nice and is near food options. Housekeeping could improve, some hairs on bedding and in shower. Would stay again.
