Very polite staff. Room was nice and clean. Staying at this hotel is an adventure into the Wild West...a bit unruly at times with bouts of parking lot madness.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I'm going to keep it short and straightforward: 1. Kind front desk staff ( stars for that) 2. Pros: - walking distance from/to the convention center, and downtown - next to a 24 hr Carl's Jr - Affordable - Parking available - A/C -T/V 3. Cons: - LOUD, like there's a party ; Hear drunk people left and right. - 3 doors - entrance, side and back ( if you're on the bottom not sure about top floor. That made me feel unsafe - No fitness ( not that it mattered to me but just an FYI the room was empty). - Stained sheets, room needed to be repaired. Overall it gave me an ick feeling. I slept on top of a towel and used my shirt as a pillow case. I couldn't sleep cause I felt uneasy with the drunks everywhere. I had to leave the next day, couldn't stay another night. If you HAVE to stay there, I recommend bringing bed sheets, towels, ear plus, and wipes. Pictures reflect the hotel to this date. Wish the owners would at least invest in the inside of the hotel.
