This is a great location right next to Banning State Park. There is a gas station right across the street for convenience. The hotel itself is no frills. There are no amenities that I'm aware of, not even breakfast, but the beds were clean and comfortable and the price was great. The room did have a fridge and microwave. The hotel could use some updating, but it was a great stay for the price.

Slept well. Rooms are clean, plenty of hot water for an enjoyable shower. Staff is friendly, willing to assist. The forest is close enough, so in the morning you feel refreshed. Enjoyable stay.
