Unfortunately our room had a bad odor. The room didn’t have any sound isolation and you will wake up to the sound of the traffic and light rails passing by.

If you want to remind yourself of the motel experience, this is a good one.Carry your bags up the stairs to second level. Looks like rooms newly renovated. Nice shower, comfortable king bed.It’s your basic motel! Front desk very pleasant. ASU area. Very noisy from vehicles and trams, but part of the experience!
