The staff was good and the room was clean. One suggestion however, please put a mat down in the tubs, so that they are less slippery.

It’s a Motel!

I didn’t realize I had booked a room at a MOTEL! I pulled into lot and was greeted by a homeless man and his shopping carts. The Office is a window! The room was decent. Room was clean and apparently recently renovated. If in the area I might rebook. If traveling with wife and kids, no go!

Couple good things for room 124: 1. Check-in was quick and easy. 2. Easy access to room and to vehicle. The not-so-goods: 1. Sheets had holes and burn marks on them. 2. Toilet flusher was not connected so i could not flush. 3. Bed is flat and hard, not comfortable at all. 4. If noise is an issue, don’t stay here. 5. The list goes on. The most important info; If you really just need a spot, this is great. If you got a BIG truck, you won’t find parking, you’ll be on the street. Expect the worst, hope for the best. The operators are nice and accommodating. Thank You.

It is very close to the freeway, easy access but also some road noise. The exterior of the building didn't look like much, but the room was very clean, and there was some covered parking which was nice.
