Excellent Stay!

We were extremely tired and still had 3 hours drive time to arrive at our destination. We saw the hotel in the side of the freeway and decided to spend the night. Best decision we have made. Front desk clerk was courteous at check in. Explained the amenities and gave us a room on the 1st floor as we requested. We hit the bed and conked out until 9am this morning! Breakfast had a variety of items to choose from. Highly recommend this hotel.

Run down no frills hotel/motel. We used it to sleep for One night after attending a wedding. The walls were thin and lots of noise from large group of teenager boys staying above us. While everything was some what clean the place is really run down. I fell in the parking area and my knees were black from all the oil and loose tar/gravel when I fell. Other that the Mission Inn there are not a lot of hotels in the area if this hotel was renovated you could charge double what we paid and make it a better experience.
