Owner of this motel is just pure heart at best. Super kind and willing to make your trip best way possible. However, I was stunned the way room was oriented. The highway noise was so loud waking you up randomly middle of the night. And condition of the bed was just unbelievably conditioned. It squeaked every time I moved and the mattress sacked in the middle so my back did not get any comfort level whatsoever. In addition, the sheet and blanket seemed like it’s has not been properly washed and dried making my skin itchy and rash. I hope the owner takes this as constructive criticism because I cannot come back here again. M

I did not have high expectations, but even my low expectations were not met. There were ants on the bathroom floor. Shower was not clean; there were residue and mildew on the walls of the shower. Even the dark color choice of shower could not hide it. The upper bed had clearly dirty sheets. After that we could not trust the cleanliness of the bed we slept on and we slept in our sleeping bags. We had 2 nights of reservation, but we left after the first. It might be better to drive to Fresno rather than staying here for its convenience.
