Almost excellent

Upon check in, the front desk agent seemed preoccupied and unfriendly. Thankfully, once we got to the room, things improved. the room was clean modern and comfortable. the property was in a decent area(except for the presence of a couple of call girls during the day) and was within easy access from the freeway.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First of all the room was extremely dirty. The bathroom has mold on the ceiling and the walls had brown patches. There was also a roach in the room I had to kill. After check out the person checking me out did not correctly check me out causing me to be charged an extra night. The staff on the phone was nice to resolve the issue but overall was a terrible experience.

Stayed one night, basic amenities, felt unsafe due to lots of people coming in and out during the night. Be aware of the $250 dollar deposit fee when you check in even if you prepay for your stay.
