My father in-law lives with us and our house in having a month of construction done as well as me leaving for vacation so we wanted an affordable but decent place for him to stay for 3 weeks. We got him the King room. It's perfect. Theres AC, HUGE TV with tons of channels even movie ones. The room is very clean and comfortable. The only thing is they dont have in room is an alarm clock and phone. There is no laundry service on site either. But for the price you cannot beat it. There's another motel in the area which is just a tad bit more in price but I wouldn't stay there even if you paid me. The motels owners are very nice and very accommodating.

The room was very clean and there is a good sized kitchen with apartment sized refrigerator and microwave. The owners are very polite and helpful! The property is very quiet despite being located on a main street. There is a McDonald's located right across the street as well as other fast food restaurants and grocery stores within a half mile from the hotel. Very nice place to stay!

Staying here feels like I'm home. Moderately priced rooms are clean and comfortable, all rooms have mini fridge and microwave and recently replaced windows and shutters. Parking area is safe, clear of clutter and trash, is well lit, has security cameras. I also enjoy the lovely, well tended gardens and flower beds. The on site manager and staff are friendly, considerate and accommodating.

I like how nice lady is. This is a very decent looking place. I love how fast the wifi Is & it's close to Vons, restaurants, etc. Layout is nice. However, the walk in closet is creepy cute lol. It's my height & filmmakers should rent this place for scary movies lol. You can trap someone there. Lol.
