Good value
The room was good for the price. Sheets and towels were clean. The armchair needs to be replaced. It's located far enough from the freeway so that it's not too noisy.

good enough for sleep
listen it's no five star motel but if you're looking for somewhere cheap and good enough this is your place! I would've given it another star if it didn't have a whole bunch of splatter marks from drinks all over the walls. and the air conditioning somehow only worked some of the time. Room gets warm and stuffy

The room seemed clean but had a antiseptic/cleaner smell to it. Pillows were about 14” square. Okay place if you just want a night's sleep and a shower for an inexpensive price. Not a room you'd hang out in and relax in.

Pleasantly surprised by this place!
Kim is wonderful and helpful! This is a no frills motel. If you want a cheap clean room, a basic place to sleep (bring your own pillow if you are picky about pillows), shower (water gets HOT, pressure is fairly good; bring your own towels if you use/want big towels and/or plush/soft/new ones), and do not need any amenities (no chair for desk in room with two beds, no hair dryer, no hangers) this is the place to stay. Can't beat the price. Stayed two nights last week and am typing this in my room on the first of a four night stay this week.

Very noisy grounds with a lot of migrant worker groups staying there. Recently low end remodel on the room. The toilet wobbled all over the floor and the toilet seat slid off to the side. Paid $80 though hotels.com and the sign in front said $49 daily. Worst booking through Hotels.com yet.

Ok… Barely?
I walked in and “my boss hasn’t told me about any reservations”. What concerns me most was the incredibly spartan nature of the room.
Medium clean, but no chairs… not even desk chair. No cups, no ice bucket, VERY light on towels/wash clothes. NO hangers of any kind.
Night desk worker did her very best to scrape these together, to her credit.

2/10 Poor
Feb 5, 2025
the entrance door, from the parking lot, didn't meet the sill- there was a 1/2 inch gap, which let in cold air, and noise from the outside. The door knob for the bathroom was not installed correctly, the hot faucet knob was not attached, the tub was stained. There was NO water pressure, or hot water. The flooring was extremely worn, and the tile didn't match from the sink to the shower area.
