Best for

Travel tips
If you’re planning to visit downtown attractions, Silver Lake Park is close by and can serve as an easy landmark for orienting yourself. Drivers may appreciate that parking is free, but guest feedback indicates that rooms facing the lot can pick up parking-area noise. If kitchen facilities matter, consider booking an efficiency room with a kitchen.
What guests say
Guest feedback is mixed, with some guests noting helpful or accommodating service, such as being reassigned to a different room. Positive mentions also include practical in-room items like the microwave and small refrigerator and acceptable hot water. However, recurring negative themes in the excerpts include cleanliness and maintenance issues (smoke odor in non-smoking rooms, stained or worn bathrooms, and reports of mold and damaged furnishings). Some guests also describe noise and disturbances around rooms and parking, and a continental breakfast that feels minimal or poorly set up.
