Pros: (1) Very friendly staff and housekeeping! April was very pleasant and efficient. (2) Nice quiet property. about 25 units. (3) Parking on property was very good. (4) Walking distance to Starbucks, CVS, Safeway across the street. Cons: (1) Our room was seriously in need of updating. (2) Shower was so awful we didn't use it. see pic. (3) Sheets had black stains on it. (4) Mattress was lumpy and uncomfortable. Didn't sleep very well. (5) The room was clean but VERY dated and furniture kinda beat up. We had stayed here a year before and were pleased with our room and property, so it was quite disappointing to see how run down it had become. All that said, if looks aren't important, and considering the pretty important pros, you'll like this place.

Due to the cost and location, I have stayed there a couple of times. Both times I received the same room No Coffee Maker and a Broken Microwave. Told them about the Microwave at my first visit. Still the same broken Microwave when I returned. The Management is awful.

Friendly check-in, good parking, clean and modern. Good price. Only two complaints; There was only a sheet on the bed and the AC woke me up every time it came on. I finally switched to fan only but then the room got too warm. AC needs attention to address the loud grinding noise on startup.

None of the amenities advertised on the website were actually offered. During our stay, only hot water came out of the taps. Complaints were met with “nothing we can do.” If things are advertised on the website, they should be there.

Although it was clean, safe and convenient, there were no ceramic mugs to heat beverages and no hair dryer. The painting and tile was DIY. Definitely needs updating.

The only thing we liked was the location near our son. The facility is very run down with the ice machine, coke machine, washer and dryer and pool all out of service. There was no coffee available in the room or in the front reception. There was only one hand towel and face towel and the bath towels were very poor quality. This place is way over priced for the services that are available-price higher than Motel 6 with far less amenities available

Disgusting…. Afraid to lay my head on any other of the tiny 4- pillows offered. No blankets offered. Stale cigarette smoke odor. Disgusting floaters in the shower once turned on. Someone’s deodorant was located behind toilet. No sleep, bathroom window open to neighbors. Remote for TV “sticky”. Yuck. Tv was set on Spanish TV only… A night of my life and $100 I’ll never get back.

This place is in major need of new furniture and repairs. While the staff does their best to ensure it’s clean there is furniture that looks like it came from the dump. And when I checked the mattress for bed bugs there were no bugs but the mattress had black stains on it. I checked in, looked around, and immediately left and booked something else.

I love this little motel. It looks like a war zone. Looks like somebody let a bomb go off in there. Very comfortable and very nostalgic. The front desk staff are exceptional and provide service that goes beyond. Can’t beat the price of the hotel, either. I can’t wait to go back and stay there, again. One of my favorite motels.
