This hotel was perfect to accommodate our needs, we are currently on a roadtrip from central Texas thru the west coast. The manager was on point ensuring safety and organization. Cleaning could be done better in the bathroom windowsill but that’s the only thing I found worth mentioning. Great motel!!

The room was disgusting, bathroom and shower were filthy, the shower is built for people under 5ft tall. The windows were paper thin, and did not secure properly. In the peep hole we had to put a napkin in, since it allowed the exterior to see in. There are a lot of things I can say, but don't have the space here. Short answer, that was our first and last time there. Disgusting is all I can say
