A good place to stay if you aren't picky. Clean room. The bathroom exhaust fan is not working and also, the toilet paper holder is located in an awkward position. You have to some acrobatic stunt hehehehe. But otherwise it is clean.

Liked: Cleanliness
Convenient location, however it is near the freeway and doesn’t have great soundproofing. The window air conditioners seem to pass a lot of outside sound to the room. Use of hard surfaces in the rooms and hallways does nothing to deaden sound.

I had a short but great stay. The bed, including the pillows and sheets, were SO comfortable! I stayed on the East side but did not have any issues with the freeway noise. Light does get in around the curtains so maybe not the spot for those who need total darkness, but otherwise would definitely recommend. It was also nice to be close to many restaurants, coffee shops, etc.

Great location, basics

The location is fantastic and it’s a good place to crash. Easiest check I’ve ever experienced. Air conditioning worked well. Probably won’t stay again though as a woman….. the bathroom was so small, no water pressure or shelf in the shower, refillable toiletries (gross,can’t trust), towels were small and scratchy, and the thinnest toilet paper in the world. The mattress was too soft but linens all seemed clean. There were forehead grease stains on the headboard, gave us a good laugh.

Love the place and location. I would prefer West side of the building instead of East side, which faces the freeway. Lots of noise.

Low cost, noisy, but close to Hillcrest

Noise from traffic, sirens from fire station across the street, and from other guests including small children in the hallway at early hours. Location near Hillcrest is great. Price is very good.
