The hotel charges less from other simmilar hotels in the area. The staffs are good but one lady she is treble even dosent have time to talk. The room is relatively clean but i cant rate it clean as they havent done what they could. Generally for that price not bad but it needs improvement from the owner.

10/10 Exceptional

The room was as described, well-lit and comfortable. The central air conditioning worked great. They were also willing to store my 1 bag at the reception on my last day once I checked out. Very convenient location with public transport available nearby and the historic downtown / Gaslamp Quarter in walking distance.

6/10 Good

Room is just simple but clean (I'm 317) Just 2 bar of soaps, no shampoo, conditioner or lotion. No hair dryer. There's a TV though :) Hallways a bit old and dirty (carpet). Free coffee in the morning at the reception. But just get your coffee outside. There's a laundry area, washers and dryers, vending machine next to it. And a microwave. I suggest to buy your water from a supermarket. Staff are friendly. You get what you pay. Location is good.

staff was friendly however overall condition of the motel was disgusting. the elevator had a spill that was never cleaned and just dried up overnight. the hallway carpets are disgustingly dirty and need to be replaced. the room we got had black mold in the bathroom and window of the room. the bed was awful.

4/10 Fair

I hated to give a poor review as the staff working were awesome. Great location too. The issue was with our rooms. No working a/c or heat controls, bad smell of old smoke. We couldn't really move rooms as they were booked out. Hallway carpets heavily stained. My mom's room was the worst of the 3, smelled so bad like an old bar.... stale smoke and musty. The staff apologized and was very courteous. Since we were only using rooms for sleeping and not hanging out in, we opted to just tough it out. IF you only need sleeping space, this could work. Just know what you are getting for the great price

4/10 Fair

Staff was nice. Property has a lot of houseless people around, but is fairly close to good restaurants and sites. Our room was dirty: mold in shower, metal A/C cover on the ceiling was missing screws and hanging down, sticky floor, and dirty walls. Bed was quite lumpy and bathroom door wouldn’t shut/was hanging on with one hinge. Would not stay there again despite the nice staff.

Guest of the day wasnt sure what that was about but it gave me an upgraded room because of it. Ill be rebooking here even if it was a one time deal the price was good and the level of noise being in the city was very low for being near the busy area. The front desk staff was great helped me with all my questions and made everything swift.
