Very nice staff. When we first got there the tv in the room wasn't working and maintenance was gone for the day so they let us switch rooms. Asked if we could do a late check out and they had no problem with it at all

Location is great. It’s right next to the entrance to China Town. We felt safe the whole time. There are restaurants, coffee shops, and convenience stores just a few steps away.
The staff were extra nice and helpful. They went the extra mile to accommodate to our necessities every time we asked for anything. And they are all bilingual.

Small budget hotel with good location and helpful staff.
The hotel is older so don't expect conveniently placed electrical outlets or good water pressure.

It’s an outbuilding so it’s expected to have a little Diaz here or there but Al have a clean bathroom. The bathroom was so nasty. I had to clean myself because I couldn’t shower in the bathroom already that everything was OK.
