8/10 Good
"Room was very clean and comfortable. The only issue was the bathroom fan was super loud when turned on and it was not taking out the moisture of the air. I texted staff about it and they were thankful and responsive saying they would let their maintenance staff know. Staff was friendly and courteous. Breakfast was very good, had real omelets, not the powdered eggs that you usually get. The potatoes were tasty and they had sausages. They had the usual waffles, toast, muffins, oatmeal and yogurt. Breakfast area is updated and has a very pleasant ambience. Parking is very convenient with a security guard at night. Overall it's a good deal for the price. It's located right off I-5 but set a little further back so the noise level is low. The inside has been remodeled but the outside needs to be updated. The neighborhood is sketchy as it is right in an industrial area. Stayed there due to close proximity to Emeral Queen Casino, went to an event there. However, did not walk there as there is a large homeless encampment under the freeway overpass. It's probably a 5-10 min walk to the casino."
