The room was as described, well-lit and comfortable. The central air conditioning worked great. They were also willing to store my 1 bag at the reception on my last day once I checked out. Very convenient location with public transport available nearby and the historic downtown / Gaslamp Quarter in walking distance.

VERY DIRTY. Checked in, saw the room and checked out right away. There was mold in multiple locations. Bath tub and toilet leaking water. When flushing toilet it would shoot out water. There were flies coming out of the sink. Bed sheets were stained. Pillows were flat. Bed felt old and used up.Horrible limited parking situation.

Staff was nice. Property has a lot of houseless people around, but is fairly close to good restaurants and sites. Our room was dirty: mold in shower, metal A/C cover on the ceiling was missing screws and hanging down, sticky floor, and dirty walls. Bed was quite lumpy and bathroom door wouldn’t shut/was hanging on with one hinge. Would not stay there again despite the nice staff.
