If this is rated “good” I would hate to see “fair”. Management was nice enough. The building is not maintained, and seems like it 50% occupied with long term folks. Bring your flip flops to get to the bathroom at night. Roaches. 😬

There were just a horde of bugs on the walls as we came in. Killed a few and they just kept coming. Drywall was peeling off all in and around the bathroom. Immediately was so disgusted I had to leave. Please save your money.

The property was not well maintained at all. When I got to my room, the floors, walls, towels, and bedding were all dirty and stained. I also saw a few roaches during my stay. On top of that, the air conditioner was not working properly, making the experience even worse. Steer away from this place at all cost!!

The room layout itself wasn’t bad and I actually liked that there was a patio area for yourself so I can smoke but the real reason for my negative experience was the roaches I found and there were 4 I killed also the pillows had black dust stains on it and it seems they covered the only outlets by the bed with a draw and if you moved it the roaches would come out overall it’s definitely not the cleanest place but only got it because it’s cheap

Service sucked. The staff sucked. Everything about the place dirty trashy and disease infected. So bad that I went to get tested after my stay here. I would reather camp out on skid row in LA than to stay there. And on top of that they ripped me off for one night rental.
