The room had just been mopped upon check in so the floors were still wet but it smelled good and clean. Water was plenty hot. There was a dead roach behind the bathroom door and several wall fixtures missing. The AC was good and cold, would freeze you out. It was fairly quiet until the early morning hours when you can hear every step from the room above. I would ask for an upstairs room if I ever stay again. This was a convenient place to stay, not far from the coliseum which is why I picked it. A little run down, but you get what you pay far. It's decent for the price.

Sergio, our lovely bartender/cook/manager was absolutely amazing. He took such good care of us. Very friendly yet professional. Easy going personality that made him a pleasure to converse with. And the lovely Ms Kim at the front desk instantly made me feel welcome, like I was the one person she'd been waiting for. Such a lovely & lively woman.

Odor of marijuana in parking lot and lobby at check in. Dripping tub faucet. Toilet was clean but had ring stain as well as mold stains in tub/shower. Room was very clean and comfortable
