I rarely write a review, but now I understand how reviews can help other people with real experience. So here is my experience with the hotel. Safe area, no homeless or criminal around. The room is very clean, cleaner than I expected, and Im a clean freak ( I brough bleach wipes to clean the toilet before I use it). The elevator is dirty just as the other customers complain, it's true, but not too bad. As long as the room is clean, Im all good. The hotel offered free breakfast. The room I had was a standard room, and it has a TV , a small refrigerator, a coffee machine. In summary, I like this hotel and will come back again. It cost more than motel 8 but you get what you paid for, and It's CA so everything is expensive here.
