Summary: This is typical lodge in a big city center. Close to MTS, but the walk may be on the dangerous side as there were/are a lot of individuals temporarily experience homelessness on the streets. However, the property appeared to be safe, secure and clean. The front office personnel was friendly and available. Security was on par. Room was relatively clean and habitable. First night was a bit noisy from the neighbors having a party. However, overall no complains for the class of the lodging property this is.

Summary: The pics of the building and room make it look nicer than it is than what you actually get The noise from the street is pretty loud in the room, the door to the room doesn’t seem safe, the building hallways are very dated looking, and my bathroom had a torn shower curtain.

Summary: The hotel is situated right at the exit and entrance to the freeways which is challenging for ingress and egress and can get loud (traffic) an lots of homeless people in the area as well.
Location is a good walk for getting to Little Italy and the Pier.
The room was exactly what you need to get a good rest and sleep. Nothing fancy, very unfussy lodgings. This place minor updates,nothing impressive,what i call a lipstick update. Good clean, bathroom, bedroom, and bedding.
Beware! This property does not have an ice machine nor vending machine on site. The front desk suggested I walk across to the gas station a block away to get what I needed. I was unaware of this before I booked. Also no coffee machines in the room. Urgh!!!
Lastly, the parking lot is small and in an effort to accommodate all guests vehicles cars were double parked bumper to bumper. Urgh! I was not able to back out and leave at my convenience. I had to go to the front office, report the car number that I was blocked in by, and let the front desk know that I needed to exit. Then I had to wait for front desk to contact the car owner as well as wait for car owner to come move their car. This took about an extra 30+ minutes from the time I walked down to my car with luggage to leave.
Very inconvenient for lodging we will stay away from this lodge. Not priced right.

Summary: Not overall a bad property for price. BE CAREFUL IN THE SHOWER, not only did I fall but my significant other fell in the shower due how to slippery the tub is. Definitely needs a grip matt or something before an injury occurs
