Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews call rooms and carpet dirty, persistent odors (weed, antiseptic), cockroach reports and debris in rooms — overall cleanliness is poor.
Service
9.8
Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and helpful in multiple reviews, assisting guests and answering questions; isolated reports of slow or inattentive service exist but overall interactions skew very positive.
Location
10
Several reviewers note convenient placement near restaurants, 9th Street events and easy access — location is consistently cited as a strong point.
Room Quality
4.8
Rooms have mixed performance: some comfortable beds and working refrigerators but many issues (broken door/window locks, worn outlets/TV problems, overheated water, general wear and odor) leading to below-average room quality.
Amenities
6
Basic amenities (refrigerator, AC) are present with mixed reliability; dog park and other facilities reported in poor condition. Amenities are adequate but show maintenance problems.
Value for Money
9.8
Multiple reviewers call the hotel affordable or a good price point and note acceptable trade-offs for cost, so perceived value is high.
Food and Beverage
5.5
Continental breakfast is described as marginal or misleading by several guests; some found it OK for price, others reported no breakfast available — overall slightly below average.
Overall Experience
5
Overall experience is mixed to negative: some appreciated a cheap, convenient place to sleep and helpful staff, but many cite safety concerns, sketchy clientele, smoking odors and infestations that lower the overall stay satisfaction.

Cheap and adequate.
Pros:

Nice budget hotel that is very popular with contractors and construction workers. This is not a luxury hotel and if you’re travelling with fussy people you might want to stay somewhere else. If you’re a solo traveller just looking for a cheap place to crash then you’ll be fine.

Cons:

A few homeless people milling about made me concerned about the security of my motorcycle but no problem in the end.

Grizzly Inn
Pros:

It was ok bed was comfortable

Cons:

Mold around tub poor lighting. No screen on windows. Maid told us we had to take out our own garbage. Traffic in and out all night. Doors slamming all hours of the night. Exit doors slamming all night. Cigarette burns on bed spreads, cigarette burns and scratches on desk and or cabinets. Fridgerator had thick ice needed defrosted big time. We booked a king and gave us a queen. There were no kings they told us.

Stay Away at All Costs!!!!
Pros:

Staff was nice.

Cons:

The carpeted hallways and the room stunk like some cleaning product gone bad. We killed about 30 cockroaches of various sizes. There were additional flying bugs. The sink had some toilet paper jammed deep into the drain. It did not stop the flow of the water, but it stunk like a dirty diaper. There were a lot of vagrants in the afternoon into the evening. Some were drinking and some were smoking marijuana. The deadbolt did not work. It was obviously unsafe to have people coming and going through three different entrances without any key cards.

For $50 it was worth it to me. Rough place. Not a family spot. But it was safe.
Pros:

The price was good.

Cons:

The room was shabby. Lots of dogs and smokers appear to be living in the motel.

Pros:

Had to leave an hour after check in as the room was infested with cockroaches crawling all over the walls and crawling on chairs and the bathroom. They came to check the room and immediately told us they would refund us our money because they had no other rooms

Sketchy

The shower was boiling hot with no way to turn it down the temp. Room was not clean. Smelled like weed. Homeless people everywhere. The lock on the door didn’t work. Sketchy
