Worth the money
The hotel is very nice with a delicious daily breakfast.
The bed very comfortable, safeway and trader joes, 1.5 blocks away. Walgreens and Baskin Robbins is as well.
Our first night was a bit rough as there were drug and loud folks in the parking lot and kicking the stairwell gate.
Plus no microwave.

Its Meh
For the money...meh. I did finally get used to the smell of the room. Not really saying the room smelled but it had a scent. Not a good one but it had one. Just seems like an old place. Front desk was excellent and probably the best part of the hotel.

Foul odor as soon as you open the door. Mattress very old. You can actually feel the springs. Coffee pot doesn’t work. You actually get water all over except for the cup. You can actually hear your neighbors snoring. Really needs to be updated.

Nice place but why is the toilet so small.
Nice place and breakfast was excellent. I only gave 4 stars on my Comfort review because they had the smallest toilet I've ever uses. My junk actually touched the front of the bowl on the inside. Very weird. And it didn't flush well.

It’s an okay place
It’s a very old property and needs to be renovated. $15 for parking doesn’t make sense.
