Was rather surprised for an out of towner, Signature Inn is a gem, quiet at night amidst a busy street. Staff is pleasant and accommodating. A sufficient break-fast. Rooms clean and orderly. If there’s a problem please speak to staff. Although not affiliated, I will book in Miami, San Francisco and this location again. (Housekeeping please try to be a bit more quiet when early morning cleaning…lol!!!) Overall 5 stars because there is also shopping and eateries near by, thank you kindly!!!

Disliked: Amenities
Terrible neighborhood lots of homeless, the flight path of the airplanes to the airport is right over your room and the toiletries are terrible, just soap and shampoo of very poor quality, no hair conditioner, etc. The tiny bar of soap they did give you, felt more lake plastic, had to work hard just to get a minimal bubble. Towels and. everything else including pillows very basic and limited quantities. Everything was bare minimum - two pillows one set of towels, etc. nothing more or extra, not even an extra blanket.

They had a room for me close to the main street, car revving sound from the street, people banging on their doors, laughing all night long, those noises kept me all night long, I didn’t even stay the second night. I was asking for a refund for the second night, and receptionist said okay. But I still haven’t seen it in my bank account.

Literally just a bed and toilet. The room was loud, and the bathroom was so tiny you couldn’t close the door and sit in the toilet. It said there was breakfast options but there was a half cup of milk and bowl of Frosted Flakes, no muffins, toast, or anything. The coffee was about 4 oz and you had to sit on the coffee machine to make sure you had enough. Very cheap and clean, but don’t expect much.
