Stayed here 5 days in Nov. 2003. Clean, well managed, basic living. I checked out of the Hilton 1-block away and saved myself $300 for the week. My room was larger had free local phone calls, and a nice kitchen in room.

Walking and public transportation from this location was a poor choice even though the Arden Mall is about 1/2 mile away. Few resturants or grocery shopping within walking of the immediate area. If you have a car then this would be a good choice for an extended stay.

Some rooms have a high level of freeway noise - I needed to relocate from the initial room and the front desk staff was happy to help me out.

There is a security guard on site all evening which helps one sleep easy and would provide better safety for the car, if I had one.

When staying here be sure to visit the Elephant Bar Resturant for lunch or dinner - it is very popular, friendly and has great food (right across the street from the Arden Mall).
