No accounting for taste

We're staying at the Day's Inn on Mariposa off Wilshire. We stayed here a few years back and liked it. However, before we left Portland, making reservations online, H read the most critical comments about this motel, which now was rated one star. Hmm, what had changed? Well, we found a few dissenting evaluations, so decided to chance it. It's fine! Clean, quiet, well located for our needs. Less expensive than most competitors. We have no idea why some of the commentors said this was located in a skid row area (it's a nice residential area), it was filthy and noisy (clean and quiet) and so on. H is going to make her own comments when we return to "set the record straight." I suppose if you are expecting a high grade place with room service and the rest, this definitely is not it. But it's a quiet, clean room, well located and inexpensive, and for us it is perfect. They even have a computer in the lobby, which I don't remember from last time. No complaints.
