The ac was blowing an awful smell. This is by far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I was just glad it was over. I was too exci

Great location. Clean and comfortable room. Liked: I stay at Nisei Inn when I visit family in the South bay. The location is perfect for restaurants and grocery stores. The parking is in a secure lot. The room is always clean. Plenty of towels and a large T V.

the location was good. the access to transport whether public or private. the price was good but the place needs upkeep. the extra towels were very handy. there is food near by so that makes everything all the better. The place was very nice considering everything.
