The lady at the front desk was extremely nice and helpful. That's about where the positives end, however. The hotel is very dated. Room 140, where we stayed, was not very clean. For the price, you should expect that. The area isn't terrible. I didn’t feel unsafe. Its close to everything you could need. It's about a 25 minute walk to the coliseum which is convenient. If you're a runner, there is a trail around the corner. It seemed safe enough during the day. But, yeah, it felt like a trucker hotel. Got the job done.
