After a business trip in the valley I wanted to stay downtown for my last night before flying back. I booked on the basis of the reviews and the photos. I would not have stayed here had I just pulled up without a booking, my wife (who wasn't with me), would have said, let's just go somewhere else. You might get the feeling it's not the most appealing place seen from the road, and you'd be right.
But I did stay so let's look for the positives. It is in a good location, lots of restaurants in the vicinity, along with strip joints and topless dives, and it's cheap, $150. Parking is a very good positive. Chinatown looks to be fun.
The rooms are very old, and whilst it maybe clean, you wouldn't want to walk on the carpets with bare feet. Some of the reviews are very positive, so I guess it's just a matter of taste and budget, personally I'd have preferred to spend another $100 and go somewhere nicer.
And yes the people on the front desk were very pleasant
