Good place for overnight stop on a road trip between Death Valley & Sequoia. Pool was refreshing, plenty of food options within walking distance, breakfast was basic but met our needs (waffles, cereal, coffee)

Decent place for the price
It's not the Hilton but if you're looking for somewhere to lay your head at a reasonable price this motel will do. They allow pets as well which is always a huge staying point for me. Realize that you're not going to get a five-star room for $60 to $70 a night. It is just like the motel 6, you always know what you're going to get so you shouldn't be very surprised that the quality of your room isn't working as posh as you might like. Staff is always very friendly and willing to help you. Lots of areas to walk your dogs
