I have stayed in several areas in SB but this time I wanted to experience the walkable downtown area.
The location of the hotel is great-Comfortable bed but the heater was very loud.
The front desk manager was not pleasant AT ALL.
She seemed to be bothered and wasn’t very nice.

Good location but basic hotel
It was fine. The hotel is a bit dilapidated. We were on the ground floor and could hear the bathrooms on either side of us constantly. Every flush. Good location. Amenities are minimal.
