This affordable option near downtown Willows is very charming and well run. You can walk to more places to eat than I can count, and shopping in downtown. Highly recommended. The owners are darling.

My room was clean, neat, and very not creepy. Tbh I thought I had gotten a reservation for Motel 6 but this place was cool and down to earth. I thought every place had a bad side of town. I thought this was gonna be horrible. Nothing happened. It's Willows California. It has maybe 3000 people in it if that. I met a super cool dude there along with the owners who were super helpful. It's actually a great place to stay on the cheap. All in all 5 stars because of the staff, owners, and renters there. All good people and I felt safe.

You get what you pay for

It worked for the 1 night. Try not to put anything on the very old carpeting that can't have been cleaned in a long time. Had to rate clean factor low because of this, we can though otherwise it was clean. Could only connect one device to Wi-Fi. Staff very nice. This is likely family owned and run by people with limited resources to refurbish.

Stayed just 1 night on my wsy to LA. The room was clean and i can see why it had a 3.5 rating on Expedia. The checkin and checkout was quick and polite. The only thing undesirable about this lodging is the location.
