Staff were very helpful, room was tired but about what you’d expect for the price. Main issue is the location, it’s sandwiched between the freeway and the off-ramp, and with zero soundproofing traffic noise was constant and surprisingly clear.

Parking was a pain only 7/8 spaces. What a pain cause it’s right off 163 and I do mean right off. You have to pray no one comes flying off the highway to pull out on the street. Rooms were okay. You could tell they swept the floors but were still dirty. The bathtub had hair in it when we got there.
