The shower doors dont keep water off the bathroom floor. Bathroom floods.
A few roaches were found running around the bathroom.
Room floor needs a good mopping.

The pictures made hotel seem like a nice place to stay however staff didnt have our room ready by check in time. Still gave us room however room seemed to be cleaned half fast. The area the hotel was located is bit deceiving as well. Not a nice area to walk around in

Roach motel
Creepy area, roach infestation. They have remodeled but I had a feeling when I saw the oddly thick caulking on every single gap that there were roaches.
Correct.
I was on level 2 so I can only imagine level 1.
Looks like some full time residents also, one guy sitting in a lawn chair outside a room talking to himself decided he wanting to try to to talk to me, too. Solo female traveler here and I was double bolting the door and shutting the windows ASAP.

Comfortable and good value.
Was a good affordable option in a good area and close to airport. Check in/out was quick and easy. Room was comfortable. Stayed there on both bookend days of my trip, due to being close to airport, and if was great for my needs. Would gladly stay there again. Only complaint is that it was clear the floor wasnt mopped before our arrival the second night stay.

No frills but clean
Needed something close to the MCRD for Marine graduation.
Checked in early, polite staff. The room is updated for as much as an old building could be.
It was definitely a no frills hotel but the price reflected that. However, it was clean and the bed was comfy.
It was on the outskirts, so the area seemed a bit sketchy. But we did not have any issues.

Hotel felt really unsafe. My friends stayed on the same property and someone tried to break into their room and when they tried to switch rooms the staff gave them a hard time. When they switched rooms it full of roaches
