The room service entered my room without permission. Also, I am not sure how they exactly knew where I keep my phone when I am in the washroom.

Room was not clean. Had to request a blanket because only a bed sheet and old bed spread were provided. Towels were dirty and visible hair was seen on the sink and in the shower. Room also smelled moldy. Would definitely not recommend.

Good location for the cost. Room was clean and had the basic necessities. It was right off the freeway so there was noise at night. Checkout took less than a minute. Take a walk down the street to Dick's Café for breakfast or lunch.
