The staff were especially accommodating and the location convenient for my purposes. The room and fixtures were clean, and AC/heat worked well without excessive noise. The bed was firmer than what I've experienced in most lodging, and I appreciated that. The curtains could be heavier to block street and early morning light. The door on my unit was difficult to close because the bottom dragged. I would stay at this property again.

Five stars for the price of a clean, convenient, no frills old style motel near a truck stop. If one queen bed will suffice, and all you need is a fridge with freezer and a microwave to get you through your overnight stay, save your money and stay here. No ice, no pool. Maybe bring your own pillow.

Comfortable at a great price.

Comfy old-style motel, but has been refurbished and is in great condition. Plenty of convenient parking. Friendly helpful staff. No breakfast included, but a great value nonetheless.

I like that they are located a very short distance to the freeway. Also, the rooms are very clean. The noise from the truck traffic nearby is problematic and for that reason we run the fan continuously to drown it out.
