badly needs an overhaul
The previous review by "misdmner" truly describes the state of this hotel. First contact we had was with the air conditioning blowing at 90 degrees heat on a day with 60+ and a room facing South with sun exposure. Since the thermostat was from the '60s, it didn't quite work so we had to call maintenance in order to bring it under control. The modern style bathroom sink was constantly filling with water since the drain was not adequately opening. More of a design flaw, but also a nuisance.
While the style of the furnishings wants to be modern, everything looks like acquired at a second hand garage sale. The table/desk was shaky, the chair impossible to adjust to a normal sitting position, the phone out of the '70s with block buttons and no indicators for most used options. And this "used" aspect of furnishings extends to the lobby as well. The sofas and armchairs, the reception desk area, the restaurant, everything looks beyond their initial life span. By now, you get the picture.
To finish on a positive note, the goods: staff and location for our trip purpose. As said already, staff really tries to make it less painful. In general, the hotel is located in walking distance to the main streets of downtown. The only complaint would be some noise coming from the adjacent freeway. This freeway though is your connection to the airport, a short 20-25min. cab ride. 
Overall for the rate we paid, the hotel should be in a better shape. There's construction going on an additional building next door which seems to be part of an expansion of the hotel. If you can wait another 3-6 months, could be a better experience. Just as we were leaving, there was some news on a local TV channel about some issues with this expansion as well.
