Nice hotel
The hotel was very nice, if a little dated, with a really nice pool area! It felt safe and I slept well here! The air conditioner was quiet which is a bonus in any hotel!

Overall pleasant experience and accommodating. Parking $24 a night is definitely more expensive than other hotels nearby. AC was very weak, we set it at 60 degrees and it definitely didn’t feel like it.

Check smoke detector batteries
Room was fine. The smoke detector made noise both nights we stayed keeping us awake. Otherwise, it was a good location near USD.
