The hotel was ok and room was a good size and clean. The area around was dirty and lots of homeless. The parking is free but not guaranteed and very limited. If are looking for a good price and close enough to uber this will work. We wont stay here again due to the area and parking situation.

Looks nothing like the photos. The place is horrible to say the least. So bad that I ended up leaving after 5 minutes after checking in. There was an event near by and it was the only one with vacancy now I understand why. Lost out on $250.
