The check-in staff was great, for an inexpensive hotel in an expensive area it's pretty darn nice and clean. The neighborhood does leave a little bit to be desired but that's not the hotels responsibility.

It's a nice room for the price and conveniently located near a Starbucks and all of the freeways. Be aware that they do have extra rules upon check in, like one car in the parking lot per room and no visitors allowed.

This is one of those "You get what you pay for" situations. The place was inexpensive and met our needs. We were just looking for a place to sleep. It met those requirements.
