This property was excellent. Very clean, beds comfortable (loved the blanket) and updated. My only less positive experience was that no one was at the front desk to check us in and we were out by the front door waiting for around 10 minutes. We were tired, hot, hungry and needed showers. Also we could not adjust the temperature on the ac so it was pretty cold. But since we had adequate covers we slept well.

Nice room (but small), very clean. We had a room in the back away from freeway & it was pretty quiet. Nicely updated room. Comfortable bed and we both slept well. All good!

Basic to the point of being uncomfortable

Word to the wise: this place is basic to the point of being uncomfortable. Nothing wrong with basic accommodations, but both the reviews and the price point suggest a nicer experience. See if you can find a better branded hotel in the area - should be about the same money or just a little more.

Basic clean motel for an overnight stay

It's not fancy, but it was clean, the shower had good water pressure, and the gal who checked us in was kind. If you just need a place to sleep for the night, it's a fine choice.
