Look elsewhere

The facility is old and my room wasn't in good condition. The laminate floor was cracked and buckled. The thing that bothered me was that it was also unswept. The shower was terrible. There were no lamps in the room. If you're looking for a bed and roof and don't mind the noise from the freeway, this might suffice. The only upside was that the counter help was very pleasant.

Bugs all over the room. Staff was nice and helped, but room service didn’t come until the end of the day. Several kids running in and out of rooms and bugs all over the room.

2 night family stay

This motel was close to the venue we were attending for a concert. Check in was quick, desk and housekeeping staff were pleasant and helpful. The beds were the most comfortable beds we have slept on in all our travels. Bedding was clean. Towels were clean. Room overall was clean and comfortable, the heat/air unit worked great. We heard absolutely no noise from the surrounding rooms, and they were very busy all weekend. Would stay here again.

This place was in a really unsafe area. Ubers didn’t want to come because of the unsafe area. Drug deals out front, homeless people coming through. Wouldn’t recommend.

Clean, inexpensive, no-frills room. Neither outstanding nor displeasing experience. Satisfied for $72 night stay. Paramedics were called into another room down the row, so there were flashing lights around bedtime, but can't fault the hotel for that.

Do not stay here… it is terrifyingly sketchy and dirty. There were no towels, I killed roaches, and the staff were terribly rude. Pay the extra 20-40$ to stay elsewhere in a hotel.

First thing I liked is that I was able to confirm my reservation before I arrived. And when I did arrive the desk clerk remembered me calling. The room was presentable and the clean, the bed was comfortable. I would have rated them higher but I think they were remodeling so, matresses and etc was outside some units. But overall, I would go back. Great access to the freeway.
