Overall Impressions
1/5
Wasn't able to play. Walked in at about 8PM on a Saturday night and there wasn't a customer in sight. Two dealers and the floor sitting at one of the tables talking about the grass growing. They offered to "call some of their friends" to get a game started but we passed on such an opportunity. I can't imagine ever playing in this room. The building is 50+ years old, and has had a paint job on the outside, but shows its age. They apparently spread a $3/6 Limit game, but we were stopped outside by an ARMED guard (rent-a-cop) and carded before heading in. I'm curious as to why a card room that spreads a $3/6 Limit game needs an armed guard outside. Inside was clean, but it was a funky clean. Fresh paint that was covering 20 layers of older paint. All the furnishings were new, and clean, but just had a funky feel to it. I asked if I could take a picture or two of the card room and I was quickly shunned and told that it was not allowed by the state of Ca. knowing this isn't true, I didn't argue the point with them and let it go. I did manage to get a picture of the outside of the building.

Atmosphere
2/5
Tables were nice, new, etc. No shufflers. Decent chairs, etc. Smelled like it was just painted, or had been painted, and there was some type of stench in the air. Don't know what it was. Just kind of funky. Carpet was new, "industrial" style carpet.

Dealers
2/5
Seemed friendly for the 5 or 10 minutes I was there checking it out. Not too talkative, but cordial.

Food and Drink
1/5
No info on if they serve drinks. From the looks of it, there was a fridge in the corner. There was also a gas station next door, which may be your only option for drinks should you actually choose to sit down at a table. There is not much near by, other than getting in your car and driving somewhere.
