Right next to the freeway for easy access. The place was simple but the bathroom had a weird ticking sound in the ceiling. Parking was over full when I got back from my outing so I had to park on the street.

Gross rooms. Sand on floor. Mirror so bad it was hard to use. SO tiny soaps, had to ask for more. Every piece of furniture had broken handles. Gashes and dents and painted over old fixture bases on most walls. The most divey place I've ever stayed at.

We got there a little earlier than check in time, they wanted to charge me $30 get getting my room earlier. The mattress was horrible, it felt like laying a bunch of pillows put together. The bathroom was would not close completely, the toilet was rubbing on the door you had to force it to get it thru the toilet. The floor was so dirty and sticky, obviously will never stay again nor will I ever recomend this place to anyone. Thank you!
