I love this place… It was a third of the price of other hotels, it is older and it is not brand new but it was clean, room was large floors, spotless, bathroom, big spotless, coffee maker, refrigerator, and microwave and a couch. I will definitely stay here again.

"Great Location, Outstanding Price!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 13, 2026
We've stayed at this hotel several times over the years. It has a great location walking distance to Old Town. It's right by the airport and downtown, very close to the freeway, but without any noise. The rooms are spacious, clean, beds are comfortable, and the staff are very friendly and accomodating. The main reason we stay though is the price. I've never paid more than $150 a night, even on the weekend. And they even include a free breakfast for that amount. They also don't require a credit card if you prefer cash like I do, even cash deposit is accepted.

It was the perfect place to crash when we had a night time layover. It was so much better than sleeping at the airport. Check-in was easy.
