Great stay, newly renovated hotel with convenience of kitchenette, 2 cook tops and a microwave is all you get, no real stove or oven, FYI. Always free laundry is a big plus for the 20 or so business trips I take each year.

It is adjacent to a bad area, but not actually in a bad area. Not that many rooms, but very solid for the price. Also, not currently full like most of the other hotels right off the freeway because the workmen doing road construction have all of the rooms pinned down an exit before.

Very comfortable room parking lots very tight. Not a lot of parking. And if you plan on doing laundry there, don't. The three machines. Two are out of order and the other one doesn't work. The dryers after five cycles your clothes might be dry. They claim they're getting new equipment but the laundry machines and dryers look pretty much brand new. So I would just go somewhere else if you needed to do laundry. Other than that, very comfortable bags. Comfortable room.
