Was skeptical of a motel claiming to be the “best motel” but was pleasantly impressed by my stay. The guy working the check in was extremely friendly and left a lasting impression. This property has a gated parking lot, which I was thankful for after realizing I left the window down in the car overnight. The room was pleasant and mostly clean, with my only complaint being the floor making my feet dirty. During check out, one of the housekeepers saw I was heading to check out and took the key from me so i didn’t have to walk all the way. She was also extremely happy and friendly. I would definitely stay here again!

The staff was courteous, however during the check in process, I felt like I was purchasing a car. They ask for a lot of information, signatures and initials on a contract and they make copies of each persons ID that is staying there. The location was a little sketchy. There was a homeless camp across the street, hence the electric gate to get in.

This was the best motel we stayed in during our 3 week holiday. Everything was fantastic and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We’d love to come back!

Gated property was nice to see. I don't have anything bad to say about the motel itself but surrounding areas have a lot of homeless just like everywhere else now days.

The place is recently renovated, but very cheaply done. It smelled heavily of disinfectant. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize the area it’s located in is frequented by prostitutes and homeless people. They do have a locked gate and cameras, and I did not have a problem. Just be prepared. The neighborhood is quite undesirable. The room was adequate. Nothing fancy, and only minor signs of wear and tear.

We were really impressed. For the low, low price and slightly sketchy neighborhood we were not expecting much at all. What we found was a super friendly and competent front desk experience. The room was clean, clean and in perfect condition. The property and parking are in a locked, gated area and we met the on-site security. Nice experience.

I typically avoid staying in motels, but had no choice. This was was affordable, clean, had no smell, and the staff was very friendly. They have gated and patrol security, and made it clear that they do not tolerate any illegal activity. I actually enjoyed my stay!

Considering is a "motel" it was super clean! The rooms smell good! I love they ask for each ID photo, I love they do not allow any stranger to the property. The main gate has lock too so i feel secure even outside looks bad
