No frills, clean room, pretty good value
I booked this room for two nights using a "blind" bargain booking via Hotwire.com, so I didn't know what hotel I would be getting until I paid, which gave me some trepidation. However this truned out to be a good value for the low price I paid. I thought the location was great--just on the fringes of a wonderful neighborhood with a lot of charm, fun-looking restaurants and a hipster vibe. The hotel was also on the fringes of a somewhat seedy neighborhood on the other side, but nothing too scary. Definitely recommend Cafe Sonora across the street for coffee and pastries. The room was VERY clean. My partner and I and our 19-year-old daughter appreciated the Wi-Fi. I couldn't coax them to join me in the outdoor pool and jacuzzi, but I found them clean and refreshing. The biggest "con" for the three of us was the extremely noisy air conditioning unit. It worked fine, but the loud rattling sound it made induced us to turn it off while we slept, making the evenings a little uncomfortably warm.
