It is a good little motel with very helpful staff. It is in a great location to travel from, with easy access to all the freeways. They let us leave a car there for 2 days while we went into the City. The beds were very comfortable and clean and the sheets were all cotton, clean and soft. I would stay here again.

Very nice stay

We were allowed to check in early without paying extra, since we came from far away. The rooms were very nice, and had a fridge and microwave. The courtyard was perfect to sit and enjoy coffee and read. There were quite a few nice places within walking distance to go.

Very friendly and nice staff. Very reasonable. Looks like it’s been renovated recently. Very easy access to eatery and supermarkets. Loved the courtyard and the charming fountain. The room is cheerfully decorated. A few things here and there, but nothing annoying.

Booked a room for 5 people and there were only two beds. The bed sheets were dirty, as if someone had slept in them and then the beds were remade.

Superb customer service

This stay was a mix of good and so-so but mostly good. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was excellent. Totally fulfilled my requests. There was no microwave in my room but one was placed once I asked for it. Bed was comfy in a fairly quiet room. Plenty of parking during my stay. Once again the staff was excellent. i would stay here again.
