This place was better than expected. For a one night stay it was nice. It was very nice, clean and quiet. Loved the decoration of the front door. Beds were clean and comfy. Only thing I would say the ice machine wasn’t available and I kept hitting my foot on the bottom of the bed that was blocked off. But overall good :)

Perfect place for what we needed.

The woman at check in was friendly. The exterior of the motel was clean and attractive. You can hear the freeway when outside, but when we went into our room and closed the door, we no longer heard anything. I love the overhang between the parking lot and the door to the room. Great protection from the elements. The room itself was roomy and clean. All that we required.

A Fantastic Value

This is an perfect example of the magic that can be created out an older motel that has been fully renovated. It is a no frills property. No pool, gym or hot tub, but the grounds and exterior are beautiful. Each room comes with hardwood floors, shutters instead of curtains and a big TV with a gazillion channels. The shower had a grab bar and came with a non slip mat for the tub. Each room has a mini fridge and coffee maker. Clean as a whistle inside and out, I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. The property is close to the freeway as are the rest of the hotels along Motel Row. It wasn't a problem for me. The staff was very kind. My only negative comment is that my towels were a bit worn. For the price it's an incredible bargain.
Very well kept!

Check in staff were very nice. Room was clean and modern. Hard floors with no carpet, but very clean. Some noise from the adjacent highway 99. We nneded a clean place to sleep for 1 night and it served the purpose.
