Clean and comfortable room and bed. Large mini-frig a plus. Lots of hot water, good shower. Off street parking. Friendly staff. Good location, easy access to/from Hwy 580. Some restaurants, banks, gas stations and shops along MacArthur Blvd.. Furnishing are serviceable but worn. A dresser drawer was broken and could not be opened. Amenities could be better. Only one small bar of soap and no facial tissues. No wash cloth either. But good value for the price.

The owner was very accommodating - she let me leave my things for several hours after checking out in the morning and was very pleasant about it. The rooms are fine. My only concern is that it's tricky to find a nice restaurant/coffee shop in the area.

Nice Hotel Staff in a Crazy Neighborhood

People screaming obscenities in the parking lot, a stranger was harassing me in the parking lot, there was shooting outside the hotel and the towels looked dingy. The manager and staff were accommodating, professional and kind.

Good value. Owners friendly. However, bottom floors hear virtually every step from rooms above. Best to book on second floor to avoid this problem.
