They have eliminated the simple breakfast they used to have. This is ok if you know ahead of time as there is not a breakfast restaurant or grocery store super close. A lot of online information still indicates that there is a breakfast. The cleaning fee has to be paid for every day even if you request a cleaning every 3 or 4 days.
Room condition is good-comfortable bed with walls, floors, and bathroom tile recently redone. Hot water was available immediately. Towels seemed scarce as they took away the towels in the morning and returned them in the afternoon. The hair dryer had frayed wires and should be taken away.
The owner is a helpful, kind, considerate, personable individual. It is his customer service skill that brought us back here.
Public transportation down Central Avenue is excellent. Two routes, the ART lines, have stops in the center of the street. Route 66, which stops more frequently, has bus stops along the curb. There are screens in the mid street stops indicating when buses are coming.
The area is fine in the daytime, but I wouldn't be comfortable wandering about there at night. We have never had security concerns while staying at the hotel.
It's an inexpensive hotel that is a good value for what you pay.
