Best motel I've ever stayed at. Everything is new/clean, rooms are well stylish, bed is comfortable, showers have great pressure. The staff is also very friendly/helpful. The cafe is great to have with decent food and coffee; they have a large selection of food/drink items to grab and go as well, including their own lemonade/juice. I felt more comfortable here than I would have at a 3 or 4 star hotel. 0 negative things to say about this place, I look forward to staying there again.

Comfortable

Our stay was comfortable, budget-friendly, and convenient. The bed and clean towels were heavenly.. We would recommend you choose a different location if noise is an issue because it’s next to the freeway and can hear neighboring rooms. Customer service was below average. Evening staff unfortunately did not welcome us, requested ID, and gave us instructions to our room but it felt like we were intruding. Overall, great budget friendly option.

Stayed a total of 3 nights here - 1st night was quiet and great. However, the remaining 2 nights were spent listening to the person assigned to the room next to us yelling at her partner and BLASTING music in her car in the parking lot. There's also a lot of remodeling going on so if you want a midday nap, it's probably not happening. Overall, the motel was clean and good amenities but I definitely feel like it was overpriced. I could have stayed at a Hilton for a similar price and not had to deal with the stereotypical motel conditions. Food at the cafe is good and staff is friendly, though.
