The place was in top condition and the housekeeping exceptional! Perfectly clean and comfortable. Nice hot shower. Good pizza and garlic knots from the place across the street. And close to venue

I would not stay here again. They need higher standards.
Pros:

Nice tv. Comfortable bed. Decor has been updated.

Cons:

Room smelled like cigarette smoke, a roach-like bug ran out of the pillows, and half the carpet was soaking wet. The exterior is kinda depressing. And it’s located right next to a freeway.

Terrible location, unsafe neighborhood, rude staff and amenities that don’t work.
Cons:

The property is on a very unsafe part of town. You can’t even walk on the front door you have to be buzzed in. It’s a motel and hot a hotel. There was mold all in the shower. The tv wouldn’t work and when I called the front desk and told her I followed the instructions but it says it’s “missing a direct tv card”.. she said she didn’t know and I would have to wait until tomorrow. So no tv while I was there. Because it’s a motel the lights outside the window stay on all night long and shine through the curtains making it very bright to sleep.

It was short, thankfully.
Pros:

Nice size room. That's about it.

Cons:

Sheets were dirty and stained. I have pictures. Asked for them to be changed and was given a different room. Same problem. Even the tub was dirty in the new room. And it was dusty. Not worth all the money they're charging.
