Functional
It’s super cute on the outside. The room was cheap and it was functional (for sleeping and showering, not enjoying) and that’s about it. If you get back to your room too late at night, you might not get a parking spot. There are some people who might have extended stays at the hotel… And you might not want to have your room next to theirs because they stand outside smoking cigarettes and they keep their TV really loud. Just saying. But if you don’t need any luxury in your life, then this motel is for you!

Close to all major roads in less than 10 min of driving. Parking and the tv size was a huge plus. I loved the silence here.Location was great close to 7 11 and Mc Donalds.

Budget Friendly, Accepted My Pet, Nice View
I had to find a place to stay last minute due to a building maintenance issue in my apartment. I had to bring my cats along with me. There was a nice view of maintained green foliage with some colorful flowers out of the room window. I barely noticed the I5 freeway close by. The customer service was friendly, polite and responsive. The room is comfortable for being an older motel.

You get what you pay for
Over all it was an OKAY place…good for a single night …I wish they have more realistic photos of what to expect. People travel and might not be familiar with the areas so the more honest of expectations the better. Over all good and clean just wish the advertising was more realistic. The front desk man was very sweet and professional so was house keeping. Again over all in a crunch amd price I would stay here again.

Older classic single story motel situated off the road. Really a step back in time. Simple clean rooms- fairly quiet too. The reception was very friendly and helpful

Plumbing was very bad. Liquids wouldn’t flush alone. Shower filled every time. Sink wouldn’t drain. Towels not clean. Parking can be limited.
