Great place/location
Great little place. Great value. It's on the same street as the Lebowski bar, and only a block away. Great, friendly staff. My ONLY complaint is that the shower was so small. I'm 6' 3" and there was absolutely no way to bend my legs and properly wash my feet as the shower is very cramped.

Adequate hotel. Check in staff were subpar.
The check in staff were not friendly at all. All other accommodations were good. Included breakfast wasn’t as good as other hotels in close proximity we stayed at, but was definitely good enough.
