Great location for food and boutique shopping. Quiet neighborhood. Not far from highway. Big room; nice queen beds but needs more interior lighting.

I've stayed here at least a half dozen times over the years and it's consistently good. It's an ideal location. It's not fancy but clean and comfortable.

Disliked: Amenities
This property needs a facelift. Our room was clean but lacked the common things no body wash in the container tv didn't work, no iron/ironing board, two hangers, old carpet, walls are paper thin, very loud outside, very narrow parking spaces, I could go on but it would seem like piling on. It is a motel form the past that doesn't fit todays world.

Verified traveler

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Extremely friendly people at the front desk, but walls are paper thin in the rooms, the room smelled extremely strong of mildew, bathroom windows can't fully close because of their design, and room was extremely bright at night due to poor blinds. Good location walking distance to public market and Arlington theatre, but as far as the rooms go be prepared for a pretty restless night due to all the noise and brightness.
