Nice Family Trip
Had stayed here years ago and the upgrades and remodels were definitely apparent. Good AC and comfortable beds. Could be a bit cleaner, but still an old property that provided great service from check-in to daily room attention.

Room for improvement, it was pleasant
I arrived a little early and got good parking. Had to check in through the night window. Building has no elevators. They are still renovating and it has future potential, but I have to rate it for the hospitality I received ion that day. I am glad the AC worked good. I understand hotels are trying to rent out rooms to recoup, unfortunately the ratings need to reflect a true review of the experience. The area seems secure, no room to turn around, so you have to reverse exit

There was a plastic table and muddy foot prints on the bathroom floor. Enough said.

Very inexpensive for the Bay Area (but beware)
I was going to be late checking in and the operators called me to check on my eta and to tell me that the onsite parking was already full, enabling me to snag the closest on-street slot.
The older couple running the place are very nice and very helpful (especially when I locked my key in my room!).
But as to the condition of the property... just to use 1 issue as an example - the curtains in my room (206) had recently been ripped off the wall (hardware included) and not properly re-attached so to prevent light entering and anyone on the walkway outside seeing clearly into the room I had to take one of the bath towels to cover the huge gap.
Did I complain? No. Should I have? I don't know, it was the cheapest hotel by at least $40 when I did my search and it is very close to the 580 freeway (but not close enough to hear it) which my drive in the morning very easy.

Parking was very limited and difficult to use. Homeless people staying at the hotel. Seems more like a apartment than a hotel

Avoid if you can
This was the worst hotel bed I've ever slept in. The mattress felt lumpy and the pillows were so thin they were almost non existent. The duvet cover had cigarette burns and the whole place stunk of stale cigarettes and scag. The lady at the front desk was a bit gruff at check-in, but the gentleman who joined her was much more personable. No one came to clean my room during my entire stay even though I put out the request for maid service. I killed two large cockroaches. The blackout portion of one of the curtains was torn away. Would not stay here again.
