I highly recommend this Motel

This is an amazing little, "mom and pop" Motel, not too far from Disneyland and literally right down the blvd from Knott's Berry Farm. This was my second stay at the Motel and I am impressed more with wach visit. The clean, crisp pool.. The extremely soft bed.. the fresh and clean exterior and the friendly, "mom and pop" check-in process makes us want to return again and again.
