Perfekt für eine Übernachtung auf einem Roadtrip durch Kalifornien
Pros:

Das Zimmer war wirklich toll, mit einem Esstisch und einer Sitzecke, das hat mir gut gefallen. außerdem gab es einen Kühlschrank, der wirklich groß war.

Cons:

Die Gäste vor Ort waren etwas skurril. Hauptsächlich nicht amerikanischer Abstammung und relativ aufdringlich.

Pros:

You have to ask multiple times to get the sheets changed and the room cleaned, and they never show up; when they do bring sheets, they don't bring towels or soap. It’s that bad—I don’t recommend it. Also, the air conditioning doesn't cool enough, so you end up sleeping in the heat. The hotel is always full of homeless people who sleep on the floor under the stairs, or you see them looking disheveled as they walk all around the building; you have to keep the door securely closed at all times.

I will never stay here again.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

I paid for a room with air conditioning and I was placed in a room with no air conditioning in the middle of a heat wave. I was told to keep coming back the following morning but they never had rooms available. This property was also advertised as “smoke-free” but everyone around me was smoking cigarettes right outside their door. I didn’t complain about this because I had already complained to management about the room they placed me in with no A/C. I would actually like a full refund for this horrible experience.
