I have stayed here before.

This is the 3rd year I have stayed here since moving out of CA and only going back for visits. It's decent enough. Not outstanding and if you like a lot of luxury probably not for you but I find it to be OK to stay. Clean and comfortable

Good stay.

Clean quiet room. Cleaning product smell had to be aired out before we could close the door. Tub was slippery, maybe due to cleaning products on the floor or carpet, but otherwise was comfortable.

Motel was clean but if you’re expecting a warm/hot shower this isn’t the place to stay. The shower setup is terrible at best.
