The shower curtain was stained and one of the lights didn’t work. This had zero effect on me. The bedding was clean and there were plenty of other lights. This is not a top end hotel and it doesn’t pretend to be. It was just what I was looking for: it provided a good night’s sleep at an affordable price. I would stay there again. I found that the reports of insects were completely unfounded.

I have stayed here several times and this is what ive come to know. I would not stay here with children. There are just too many homeless people, transients, and other shady types hanging around. Also, always ask for upstairs. The rooms are so much nicer and you dont encounter as much of the unsavory types. Having said this, i will also say that the staff has always been very nice, the check in is always quick and painless, it is nice to have a microwace and refrigerator at no extra charge to the completely reasonable price. So if you are a streetwise adult, i would say you should have no problems and dont forget to grab a belgian waffle or some cereal in the morning. If you have kids? Maybe try the studio 6 or HoJos.
