I liked the property but didn’t like the room where I was placed as it had 5 men standing outside every day I stayed there… I would have preferred a room with no tenants staying next door

The staffs are friendly and helpful. Coffee and water are available in the lobby area from morning till night which is good. The location is convenient, close to freeway access, and there are many restaurants and shops nearby. The facility is old but with the good price and convenient location, it is a good choice.

The photo are very deceiving, I was expecting a fairly nice hotel. To my surprise, I was extremely disappointed. Rooms are not clean, bath towels are similar to sandpaper, the beds and pillows are hard and uncomfortable. I saw a couple of cockroaches. I will not return nor will I refer anyone I know.
