    traffic noise

    The noise from the nearby freeway and skatepark was relentless, with foot traffic passing right by the room at all hours. I encountered multiple maintenance issues, like a non-functional shower switch, poor WiFi connection requiring constant sign-ins, and some worn electrical outlets that felt like they could fall into the wall. The room decor and furniture seemed outdated, with signs of neglect like stained sheets and a TV held together with tape. Overall, it felt like the budget-friendly rates came at the cost of cleanliness and comfort.

    noisy environment
    thin walls
    unclean sheets

    The stay offered a spacious Deluxe Family Suite with a kitchenette that was ideal for our group of six. Staff members were exceptionally helpful and provided great recommendations for local attractions. However, the noise from the busy street was disruptive, and the thin walls allowed for disturbances from neighboring rooms. Additionally, there was an issue with the cleanliness of the sheets, which detracted from an otherwise pleasant experience.
