Avoid it is dirty and loud
It was very dirty the room had weed roaches on the floor, dirty towels with burgers or something on them. Disgusting. All you hear all night is the freeway and sirens or the drivers and hookers next to you as another highlight.

Not bad, Not bad at all. Highly recommended!!!
All around great spot especially if you have a pet along for the ride they stay absolutely free no questions... It's definitely not a five star motel but it's really nice for the price way above all other local hotels at this rate by far highly recommend to everyone...

Nasty rude Wouldn't let my dog stay in it.
The room was so filthy. We couldn't even stay there. We went and rented a new hotel. People refused to clean the room, told us to just leave if we didn't like it

Close to airport but the place is a dump. Everyone is loud and you can smell cigarette and weed smoke in your room from room next-door.
