Great location off of Laurel St. Small but cozy
Great location right off of Laurel St. Very convenient location. within walking distance of well, : everything, Lucky California grocery store, Shell gas station, Jack in the Box and of course all the great botiques and stores up and down Laurel St, including USPS. It's a small but cozy no frills hotel but our room did have brand new carpet, a little refrigerator and a microwave, which was nice to have a cold drink close by and some way to heat up our left overs. The staff here was very friendly which is always a good thing when your in a new location. Long story short, considering the great location and low rates the hotel was perfect and honestly, you can't ask for anthing more.

Very lovely botique hotel in the middle of a questionable area. Effectively operated, reasonably priced, clean and slightly old-timed if not outdated.
