Staff very helpful, left my set of keys after checking out didn't realize till later. Called and they said house keeper will look for them. Found and called....luckily live local went and pick up keys from lobby. Price was reasonable. Room was clean, the bed mattress not very comfy only complaint but is a Motel 6 not a 5 start hotel.

Not horrible, but if you can afford the extra $50 to stay somewhere better. Do it. Very basic hotel. Room was clean but it felt dirty for some reason. Old hotel. No toiletries other than hand soap. One towel, which had a long hair on it. No hand towels. I went to the front desk and they gave me, in his words. Their last towel. It was clean and he gave me a hand towel. Shower was good though. Water was super hot. No complaints there. Hotel was fine for the night, but I wont be back. I only stayed here because it was cheap, i was only showering, sleeping and checking out the next day. nice photos on the website. But they dont match actual location. A couple of positives. It is located right off freeway and everything is close by. Slept fine, quiet outside.

Rooms clean, shady people around and some people live there, people working on cars, bed so old they are dented and coils hurt, thin walls and you can hear everything, room numbers not in order. It was very noisey. If you need cheap and dont mind comfort and are willing to deal with poor conditions.
