The staff were really friendly and is helpful as they could be however the room was absolutely foul smelling. They only clean every three days per the California law and unfortunately that is just not enough for a motel. Sadly there were bugs and when you check in you got to bring your own cleaning supplies and scour the place and no I'm not even a clean freak. I absolutely would not recommend this place

It was a clean bed booked at a good price last minute while I was passing through the area and needed to rest. Can’t ask for much more than that.

The best budget flea bag I've ever been in. Special deal got me for five times 10 for the night. It's an older building but clean and the desk clerk on duty was very helpful and check-in was quick. Chances are good though. If the prices were higher I wouldn't stay. Bring your own soap and shampoo
