The good: Friendly accomdating staff, Beds were clean and sheets soft. The bad: Dirty and worn down room. Laminate flooring peeling up badly. Bathroom dirty. Furniture glued together in multiple places. Room stunk like cigarettes, cigarette burns on literally everything. curtains ziptied on rod. Only 1 outlet worked in the whole room. Didn't feel safe in parking lot.

Great value, friendly front desk.

The people at the front desk are the nicest people in all of California. Hotel is not in great cosmetic shape but for $80-$100 night what did you expect. 5/5 place.
