Th deadbolt on the door was broken off like the room had been broken into, there was no seal on the door, and no seal on the window that backed up to a homeless encampment. I did not feel safe at all and when brought it to the front desks attention they refused to give me a refund because they “didn’t know how”.

Staff was very courteous and room was clean but dated. The biggest problem is the noise all night long. Very very noisy street traffic with an off ramp and an on ramp for I-5 & I-163. But the price was very low compared to other hotels.
