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.

Truth

There was mold in the bathroom and almost no water pressure for the shower. The beds were comfy but had small blood stains and a couple of cigarette burns. The parking was free and the front desk personnel was kind and attentive. It is a great location for travelers on a budget. It was also very quiet.

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.

The place looks like an apartment building. But overall place was decent. The lady who attends us was friendly no inconvenience giving us the keys to the room. Room looks clean with two bed. Only issues with bed that they were squeaky but comfy to sleep on it.

No frills

If you just need somewhere conveniently located to sleep, it works. Clean towels were available on request, microwave, and fridge. I just found it not to be very clean, mold in bathroom, no daily housekeeping service, blood stain on the bedsheet.
