What guests think

Across many reviews, Economy Inn Los Banos is praised as a clean, budget-friendly, family-run roadside motel with renovated, cozy but small rooms and attractive landscaping, while recurring drawbacks include traffic noise and loud in-room AC units, plus no on-site coffee.

Guests frequently describe the staff as friendly and the stay a good value, though a few report slow or difficult check-in and occasional rude interactions. Rooms are compact and simple with some renovations and character; parking is easy for most, but can feel tight when full. Expect a straightforward, budget stopover that works best for short stays.

#17 room was the worse room? Didn't see in any others... smelled like sewer. Ni coffee pot ..but a fridge and microwave. Too old and run down. A pretty dress on a pig...🙄. Maybe going through Expedia gets u the bottom tier room? Trash cans outside overflowing. Some rooms had permanent guests ...🙄. Limited manuverability in parking lot.

I try and stay in Los Banos on my way up or down I-5. It\'s such a cute charming town that no one knows about. It\'s about 10 minutes off I-5 so I guess most people just drive on thru. And this motel is the best! Charming historic architecture inside and out, beautiful potted plants everywhere, and very nice owners.And so far, still quite affordable. Be sure to check out the "old town" just a few blocks from the motel.

Since I missed my I 5 road trip last year, I was particularly looking forward to staying here again. This is a classic midcentury motel reimagined as a unique oasis. The garden is extraordinary as is the tile works and detailing in the rooms. Clearly, the priority here was to create something beautiful for guests, and the sense of hospitality from the family is warm and welcoming. I look forward to my next visit.

I hate leaving bad reviews. But I didn’t enjoy my stay here. It was super noisy from the traffic outside and from other guests. The room was NOT clean. The bedspread was very dirty. The woman who checked me in was nice but otherwise I really did not enjoy my stay here. I was wishing I had spent a little more money and gotten a better room elsewhere.

This is a neat place, decor is fabulous, service was good. My one complaint, the floor in room made my socks brown with ?? And one dirty wash cloth left on shower curtain.. NOT MINE. Towels didn't look too clean, but did smell clean so gave the benefit of the doubt. BUT... while I would stay here again.. THAT has got to be one of the most UNCOMFORTABLE beds I have ever slept on. Hard, and while not lumpy. One just can't get comfortable. And I am not terribly picky on mattresses. Inside of the fridge could use a little swamping too. But it served our needs for a later evening end to a long drive

"Economy" says it all; you get what you pay for. The room was pleasant, clean, but just adequate. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was quite nice, but it took a while to determine that there truly was hot water available. One very nice feature was that the refrigerator actually had a freezer compartment! That is rare, and appreciated. On the downside, it is right by a street where cars make LOTS of noise through the night. There was no coffee or breakfast of any kind offered.

This is a great, old style, family owned motel in very good condition. I wanted lodging away from I-5, and this was worth the 10 minute drive east. The room was nice and quiet, awesome tile shower. There's no coffee maker but there are places to get coffee right across the street. I'd stay here again for sure. Lastly, there are some great burritos to get within walking distance.

Stayed there for one night and it was the perfect little Inn. Only thing that there was no coffee maker, but there was a mini fridge and microwave. Also, bed came with 2 pillows, could've used 3 or 4, but that's my preference. Tv and remote worked fine, some place I've been to not even those worked. It's located on a main drag so there are plenty of stores to go to for food and general shopping. No complaints. But I would only stay here for anight or two with the room I had. Not for a week, unless they have some sort of master king/queen bedroom.

I actually thought the property was pretty unique. However, it was a bit noisy with what was going on in the rooms on each side of me and in the parking lot. I've never stayed at as hotel where there were no snacks and NO coffee. One garbage can in the entire room, and that was a small can in the bathroom. No hangers to hang clothes on. Although there was a rack, there was no iron or ironing board.
