It's a good location, easy to find at I-55 and Mesa Dr. near Fairview and Fairview the O.C. Swap Meet and Fair Grounds. It's clean, but Spartan, if you don't mind getting your own Coffee in the morning, there's an AM/PM Convienence Store and Gas Station within one block. It's do it yourself, no in room amenities. The Beds are soft though. Next Door is a Best Western Motel, yet I bet they charge a whole lot more. Nothing in SoCal is cheap anymore.

The room was clean and quiet but there is no where in the room to hang clothes. Very disappointing had to put them over a chair.

This mom and pop little motel is located right off the highway, but the nicest thing I can say is it's just a hop to the OC event fairgrounds....The room was clean, minimalist....the mattress was comfy and the pillows were perfect....the staff were as pleasant as you could ever hope for....the exterior was in deplorable conditon.
