I stayed here for two nights and it was a great choice. The bed was comfortable, the room was quiet, the staff was nice, the shower had hot water and good water pressure, the breakfast had good quality and selection, and it is conveniently located next to shopping and the freeway. It's true that the surrounding area is not the best, but the hotel is a bit of an oasis surrounded by nice trees and plants and seemed to be set apart from the surrounding neighborhood. I felt safe. Also, there was ample parking. I would absolutely stay here again.
