Truth
There was mold in the bathroom and almost no water pressure for the shower. The beds were comfy but had small blood stains and a couple of cigarette burns. The parking was free and the front desk personnel was kind and attentive. It is a great location for travelers on a budget. It was also very quiet.

Very nice stay
We were allowed to check in early without paying extra, since we came from far away. The rooms were very nice, and had a fridge and microwave. The courtyard was perfect to sit and enjoy coffee and read. There were quite a few nice places within walking distance to go.

Disliked: Staff & service
The cleaning detail for our room was lacking. We only had a quarter roll of toilet paper and only 2 small towels and no shower towels. The website advertises microwave but our room had no microwave. My son who also stayed in his own room was assigned a room with a guest already assigned. He walked in on a lady half dressed. Otherwise not a bad stay

Not pleased
I wasn’t very happy with my stay. To start, I requested a handicap accessible room. I put on the 3rd floor and the location had a broken elevator. So I had to carry my handicap 4 year old up 3 flights of stairs. The room looked fine at first glance. But we were surprised to see the floors were filthy. My 4 year old can’t walk, she scoots on her knees. When I went to pick her up I saw that her hands and shins were BLACK with filth. I hurried to give her a bath only to find out the bathroom light was on seizure mode, strobing like crazy, with the worlds loudest fan. It sounded like someone dropped a whole bag of marbles into a blender. Not very happy and won’t be returning. Happy I only needed to stay there for one night

It is a good little motel with very helpful staff. It is in a great location to travel from, with easy access to all the freeways. They let us leave a car there for 2 days while we went into the City. The beds were very comfortable and clean and the sheets were all cotton, clean and soft. I would stay here again.

Very friendly and nice staff. Very reasonable. Looks like it’s been renovated recently. Very easy access to eatery and supermarkets. Loved the courtyard and the charming fountain. The room is cheerfully decorated. A few things here and there, but nothing annoying.
