The bad reviews are unfortunately true. The room looked nothing like the photos. Hairs found on both the beds and in the shower. Horrible stay. Just pay the extra money go somewhere else. Complete waste of money.

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.

Multiple issue with the check-in process, hotel conditions and everything that was advertised did not match up with what we check-in to. I feel extremely uncomfortable with this stay but I cannot cancel the stay without a refund. So i am force to stay. Front desk absolutely was not understanding even though they saw how uncomfortable i am to stay here. Expedia was limited with what they can do to help me. I might as well be sleeping in my car tonight instead.
