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.

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.
