Overall a good place for the value . Upon arrival after check in time we were given room that wasn't ready . Initially we were asked to wait to which I didn't agree and we were given different room , actually with better location in the back of the building . The rooms in the front of the building face freeway which can be very noisy .

Upon arrival, the staff was not very personable. The room was cozy and cleaned, but not-so-much the exterior. There was garbage and bird crap in the walkways all 4 days we were there. At the top of the stairs there is an abrupt change of the floor level that is not clearly marked and is a tripping hazard. This was pointed out but not sure they understood because of language barrier.

This motel was a bargain. The property and rooms were very well kept up. The staff was great and very helpful. One nice feature was a coin operated washer and dryer on site so we could do a load of laundry. I would stat there again and highly recommend this business. The owners take pride in their establishment and take care of the landscaped plants and flowers.

Nice room, polite staff...great pricing and a very cool coffee machine. Would've given 5 stars all around, but the shower wasn't great for anyone over 5'6". Low shower head...but everything else was great!

The desk clerk was very rude. She said she didnt live in the area so couldnt help with breakfast options for the morning. When i called before arriving she told me i had to have an exact time of arrival. The room was great.
