LOVED my stay here. Sorry I had to give 3 stars to the area around the property it is a little bit skid row lite by the Albertsons but if it means a more affordable stay and the property is very secure and guests and staff were respectful.

Gladly surprised by the quality of the service. Very clean -daily mopping and cleaning of all areas. Staff super friendly. Common areas are usually very quiet and was nice to hang out there. Very close to downtown (5-10 mins cab ride) conveniently close to the airport. Will stay here next time.
