"Booked a one-night stay. Perfect location. Walking distance to local eateries and bars. Easy access to the freeway. Prepaid for self-parking; beware of the small parking spots. The hotel itself can use some general remodeling, especially their hallways. They’re rooms are definitely smaller than your standard hotel room anywhere else."
