This is a legacy motel with comfortable rooms and a very affordable price. I stayed here once, and I liked it enough to come back. Each room has a heater and a clean bathroom with a very satisfying shower. AC Transit buses stop nearby, and they're easy to use. Front desk staff is friendly and accommodating. Parking on site without extra charge.

Parking easy. First motel I have Ever stayed at that you had to request soap. Room run down but clean. No table but did have desk and one chair. Little storage, bathroom cramped. Took a while to figure out heater. Bed, linens fine. Did not find extra blanket.
