Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
It was a very nice stay. The beds and pillows were really nice and comfortable. It's older, but it has it's charm. It's right next to the freeway and you can hear the cars, but otherwise it was very quiet and peaceful. The only thing I wish it had was bedside lamps. Otherwise our room was had two rooms, one for each bed and I really liked that. The managers were very nice and helpful as well.

Easy, affordable comfort

It was clean, well kept. Definitely lacking air conditioning but offered fans in lieu of a/c. Friendly and helpful. Easy to access off the highway. Definitely good if all you need is a spot to lay your head and get ready.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The walls in the bathroom were filthy all the way around. The light switches in the bathroom were also filthy. The shutters in the bedroom had goop on them. There is no place to hang any shirt or trousers, and there was no coffee. There was one small plastic drinking cup individually wrapped in a package that had already been opened. The staff was very kind and try to be as accommodating as possible.

A quick stay.

This is an older property and lacking in basic creature comforts such a bedside lamp. Nights stands old and scratched up. One of the queen side bend offering narrow path to the bathroon.

It’s clean and centrally located. Less than half the price of local hotels. Located just 100 feet from the 101 freeway, it’s slightly noisy. I would stay again.

Small and quaint. Clean. It is in the frontage road, so you do hear some traffic, but in the room it wasnt bad. There isnt an air conditioner, however, the room faced South, so it was a comfortable temperature

Bad service

In the reservation I did not realize the number of people but when I made the reservation I asked for a room with 2 beds, we were going as a family, the person who attended us asked for the numbers of the members and we told him the amount and he gave us the key and everything We were there for two days and the last night we only got to sleep because we weren't there but the lady came angry 😡 and said that we had to pay for each one and my wife explained to her that she agreed to give us the room and she made fun and said that she would talk to her police wing and charged an extra charge. I don't recommend this place 🙅‍♀️I give it a 0 Estella

I’m not presently happy with this property as my credit card was billed twice for the same amount and they’ve not processed the transaction yet so I’ve got a considerable amount of money being held for a transaction that should only have been run once.
