Hotel was ok nothing special great place to rest but the bathroom was small I was not able to move inside the shower without getting hit in that tight space also it’s next to the freeway so there is a lot of noise… The clerk was very nice and helpful with all our questions the only down fall was the noise and the bathroom but other then that the place was clean and very nice

Easy, affordable comfort

It was clean, well kept. Definitely lacking air conditioning but offered fans in lieu of a/c. Friendly and helpful. Easy to access off the highway. Definitely good if all you need is a spot to lay your head and get ready.

It’s clean and centrally located. Less than half the price of local hotels. Located just 100 feet from the 101 freeway, it’s slightly noisy. I would stay again.

A quick stay.

This is an older property and lacking in basic creature comforts such a bedside lamp. Nights stands old and scratched up. One of the queen side bend offering narrow path to the bathroon.

Small and quaint. Clean. It is in the frontage road, so you do hear some traffic, but in the room it wasnt bad. There isnt an air conditioner, however, the room faced South, so it was a comfortable temperature

Disliked: Cleanliness
The walls in the bathroom were filthy all the way around. The light switches in the bathroom were also filthy. The shutters in the bedroom had goop on them. There is no place to hang any shirt or trousers, and there was no coffee. There was one small plastic drinking cup individually wrapped in a package that had already been opened. The staff was very kind and try to be as accommodating as possible.

Great location for what we needed. Nothing fancy, but worked out well. No A/C in the room, to keep it cool, we needed to leave windows open, but then we'd hear traffic. Other than that, it was perfect for a place to stay for the night.
