This hotel is just older and the rooms and common areas need updating. It was just a bit rough. Like it was clear that someone had put a hole in the bathroom wall and it was just patched over, and caulking was visible around the sink and bathtub. There was no "Seating area" like there is in more modern hotel rooms. My room did, however, have excellent dresser space, which I find lacking in some properties AND there was plenty of hot water in the shower. Staff at the front desk was friendly. It's pretty clear that there are a lot of transient people walking through the area, and I did not feel safe running anywhere near the hotel. The local Rail Trail is home to a lot of encampments, so I went running at Mission Beach, which was just 10 minutes away. If you're going to stay here, rent a car and only plan to sleep in the room.
