The room we had wreaked of smoke even though it was a non-smoking room. The bathroom door did not shut properly. The beds are not connected to the wall and have rollers, so if you try to sit up in the bed, the mattress rolls away. The wifi connection is also super bad. One of the two nights we stayed, we returned to the motel and there were no parking spots left, nor was there street parking in front of the motel. We had to park a ways away in the nearby residential area.

This is small budget-friendly property. You get a room and not much more. The bed linens and the bathroom were clean. The bed was comfortable. There was some old dust in the corners and on the AC unit. Toilet paper, toiletries, towels were provided. Large-screen TV in the room is hooked to cable, 100s of channels available. Free wi-fi. The area around the property appeared safe, there were several cafes walking distance. 10 min by car to downtown.

Filthy dirty rooms. They should've paid ne to stay in it. Walls are peeling, holes in door fillled with a foam. Mold between tiles in bathroom. Furniture is disgusting.

High quality for what it is

It's cheap, but clean. Everything worked properly and nothing was gross. There were some nice little touches like a mural in the stairwell. The beds were pretty hard and pillows quite lumpy. Only bar shampoo, not liquid. The sink is in the room not the bathroom. Huge TV though.

I got room 106. It reaked with cigarette smell and they tried to cover it with Lysol. The walls were scratched, baseboards missing through out the whole room. Linens were horrendous. I stayed here the week before and got room 212 and it was ok.

overall 5 star rating for the value. staff was friendly and although the building was dated, it did provide a kithenette, nice pool / hottub, and unlimited supply of sheets and towels. area itself was convenient but seemed "questionable" even though surrounding property prices are sky high.

This was exactly what we needed for our visit. Don’t expect 5star and you won’t get your feelings hurt. It’s in a popular, safe area, where most motels look like this, so it’s not like it’s the outlier. As far as the room goes- it was clean, beds were comfy, no funky smells, and I always appreciate no carpet in a motel. I just gave everything a quick Lysol spray and Clorox wipe and I felt good to go. After a drive up from LA gave us a chance to stretch before hitting downtown. Everything is just a few minutes away. This was the best location. LOVE the fridge and microwave. Great for bringing leftovers back! The very few cons are: It was loud at night because of the street, but neighboring room sounds are non existent which I appreciate. I’m a light sleeper, but the kids didn’t even notice. 2) I wish it had a top swing latch, just for feeling extra safe. 3) Parkings a little tight, but enough. 4) Water pressure was a little low in the morning, but excellent every other time! - don’t forget to bring your own shampoo and conditioner! Overall, this was perfect for our needs. I just didn’t feel comfortable spending hundreds for resort style hotels just to sleep. It was priced right and suited us perfectly. We were up early the next day to head out to the university, so we really didn’t need much from it. Of course I was nervous, but so glad I bit the bullet. Saved so much and was so close to everything. I will definitely consider staying again in the future.
