I’m surprised that Expedia is listing this as one of the properties. I’ve been to third world country’s with better and cleaner accomodations. Room smelled like smoke, the bedspread had cigarette burn holes in them. The sheets looked like they haven’t been washed, wires sticking out of the walls and paint is peeling of the rooms. We checked in then checked out. It ruined our weekend stay.

I guess you get what you pay for. This motel is actually inhabited by some longer term guests. The guy in the next room went back and forth between making phone calls and watching TV, both at max volume until 4am. We had to walk to Walgreens for earplugs. Everything is dirty or stained, from floor to ceiling including the linens and towels. Those are the things that were important to me (a quiet place to sleep and a clean atmosphere). As for the things less important, but equally as terrible- TV color all yellow, no cups in the room, no ice machine. Woke up to a fire truck and ambulance at 5am. Glad they were there to help someone struggling, hope he’s okay. Needless to say, if you have more than $150/night to spend, do it!

Floors were sticky. Hair, gravel and stains on and in the sheets. Asked the manager to change the sheets while we were out during the first day, and he only changed one of the beds. There wasnt even a lamp shade on the bedside lamp. Just a dirty and gross experience. Would not recommend to anyone

I was really disappointed in this stay. When we arrived, there was a security officer outside who seemed to later be dealing with some commotion with one of the people staying in the property. When we got to our unit, the light in the bathroom didn't work, the bed looked like it was picked up as a free item from the streets and felt like it was going to fall apart, there was no warm water from the sink (we decided we didn't want to take showers here), there was only 1 towel even though we were a party of 2, and it felt pretty unsafe. It was very noisy and throughout the night there were people walking/running up and down and someone who started yelling at 2am while 1-2 people chased him. I would not have stayed here if I was a solo female traveler- would feel very unsafe. The posted signs about the rules in the room made it seem like this was a recuperation facility (alc/drugs?). I have never stayed in a worst place. I stayed here for a race in Monterey the next day, but barely slept. Really disappointing.

When I walked in it immediately smelled like dirt and mildew, there was water damage along the base board of the wall. There were stickers on the head board, stuff smeared on the walls and dirt on top of the air conditioning unit. I tried to get my money back- I left after 10 minutes of being in the room.

Make sure when you come here you bring your own pillows. This is what you get when you find the cheapest hotel on the booking site don’t expect the embassy. But it’s a family run operation and the staff is super friendly. They makeup for any of the room issues.

Check in was fairly normal, receptions asked me three times for my name and after not “finding” me I gave him my ID card then he “found” me. He kept saying another name thinking I was that person. Paint was coming off the walls, pillows were so flat you needed to use both just to feel like you had a pillow. Towels were barely large enough to cover yourself. Having nextflix was nice. Someone came knocking on our door just before 10 to ask if we were checking out that day. Check out was at 11 and we booked just one night. I don’t know if I would stay there again but they need to invest in their basics and update their rooms.
