Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This is a bare-bones hotel. The upholstered furniture in the room was soiled and the rest in bad repair. The toiletries were a joke, and would recommend anyone contemplating a stay bring their own soap and haircare products. My room was noisy, making it hard to fall asleep. Overall, would say the room was clean, though door frames and edges, as well as shower curtain, should be wiped down. Person who checked me in was polite.

I wish they had an ice maker machine, but those cost extra dollars. It's a family owned business and they care, it shows.

It's a nice room for the price and conveniently located near a Starbucks and all of the freeways. Be aware that they do have extra rules upon check in, like one car in the parking lot per room and no visitors allowed.

ZERO STARS

I sent an employee for a 1-night stay while he was working in the area and he was harassed by the clerk at check-in and ultimately told he could not stay, although my company had already paid for the night. He ended up sleeping in his vehicle instead. I would have given ZERO stars if I could, for paying for a hotel then making my employee leave.

This is one of those "You get what you pay for" situations. The place was inexpensive and met our needs. We were just looking for a place to sleep. It met those requirements.

My stay was fine for one night. The area is busy and right off the highway. And the furniture is mismatched but for the price, I think the stay was adequate.

We needed a cheap hotel for our recent trip to California and this fit the bill. The property is old. Furniture in rooms are from the 80s I suspect. We didn't have high expectations of this place to begin with so we got what we paid for. The guy working the registration window was super friendly and helpful, however. If you just need a place to sleep and rest your head, this place will do the trick. Gas station and Starbucks nearby!
