Way too expensive for the overall experience.
Pros:

Clean. Comfortable bed

Cons:

Too close to airport, hence noisy. No check out late - which was not cool considering the price.

Pros:

Die Betten sind bequem

Cons:

Wenig komfortabel. Oberflächen und Böden zT beschädigt, sodass es schmuddelig wirkt.
Fluglärm entsprechend der Nähe zum Flughafen- viel störender war das ständige Hupen der Bahn.
Zu teuer. Es fanden gerade Bauarbeiten statt- schön dass investiert wird. Eine vorherige Info oder Anpassung des Preises wären hier wünschenswert gewesen.

Cons:

I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. Upon check-in, I was charged an additional fee for early check-in. Later, some family members briefly came by to drop off luggage before their flight that evening and were not planning to stay at the hotel.

However, the front desk staff repeatedly confronted us regarding the number of people in the room, even after only four guests remained. The situation became extremely uncomfortable and felt unnecessarily hostile. Staff members entered the room to inspect it and even requested that we open the bathroom door to verify no additional guests were present. I found this behavior invasive and unprofessional.

In addition, the room itself was not in acceptable condition. The sheets had holes in them, the room appeared unclean, and there was no hot water available during our stay.

Due to the ongoing harassment and uncomfortable atmosphere, I decided to leave the hotel around 7 PM. While waiting outside for our Uber, one staff member continued staring at us, which only added to the discomfort of the experience.

Overall, I found the staff’s conduct unprofessional and the accommodations unacceptable. I will be submitting a formal complaint regarding this experience.

Fatale Entscheidung auf dem Roadtrip
Pros:

Das nötigste vorhanden

Cons:

Die Lage direkt am Flughafen ist bekannt, jedoch liegt das Motel unmittelbar unter dem Landeanflug. Die Lautstärke ist immens und geht bis in die Nacht.
Die Türen sind nicht komplett dicht, sodass Kleintiere wie Käfer, Ameisen etc. In dem Zimmer sind.
Die Sauberkeit ist dementsprechend eher mangelhaft als ausreichend.

Preis/Leistung absolut überzogen.

Wer nachts anreist und einen kurzen Moment, total übermüdet kurz einen Moment ruhen will, kann hier einkehren. Wir waren Drei Nächte hier und würden rückblickend nicht mal mehr kurz ruhen wollen.

Nettes Motel
Pros:

Das Zimmer war sauber und die Betten in Ordnung. Unkomplizierter Check-in mit nettem Mitarbeiter, Parkplätze sind ausreichend vorhanden. Wer gut zu Fuß ist, erreicht den Hafen und das Gaslamp Quarter in ca 30-40 min. Little Italy ist in unmittelbarer Nähe. Für Aktivitäten mit dem Auto ist man sehr schnell auf der 5, somit alles gut erreichbar.

Cons:

Leider gab es nur Seifen, keine anderen Pflegeprodukte. Leider gibt es keine Mikrowelle oder Kaffeemaschine bzw. Föhn auf den Zimmern.
Im Verhältnis zu anderen Hotels, die wir auf unserer großen USA Reise hatten, war das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht gegeben. Die Flugzeuge sind laut (wir konnten trotzdem gut schlafen)
