location is not that bad, its next to the freeway. the room is barely hanging on, overall clean but needs more renovating. No Toiletries, no microwave, no fridge, no breakfast, towels are thin, the tv remote didn't work. parking stalls are narrow, bed cover were just a scratchy blanket and sheets, the a/c worked well. for the price, its not worth it. the staff is friendly although the housekeeping forgot to place extra towels, not sure if front desk forgot to communicate this but i had to go down to get towels. No ants or bugs or dirty room, just low quality motel. overall, id give this place a 5/10.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The area was better than expected. Roaches in the room were a deal breaker. When they were on top of the microwave and i killed a few of them, it was comical. When i found one in the bed, i wasnt laughing anymore. Gross room, thin walls.

This was a disappointing stay. The beds were lumpy, dirty, the bathroom was disgusting. I got up and went to the front desk at 6am, asked for room cleaning and we didn’t receive it. No clean towels, etc. there was hair everywhere and bugs and it was gross.

Staff was nice and accommodating. Parking was fairly simple/easy, and the place was honestly nicer than I expected, but there was a bit of a noise leak from the door frame and I did catch a solitary spider.

Room with no AC❌ soccer tournament weekend and no AC in the room. Not going to lie, Staff was understanding and supportive they understood that it was out of their hands that the company doesn’t want to invest in their property. We didn’t stay, left the place and as we were leaving we noticed that almost every room had their doors open because it was HOT! So disappointing

Disliked: Amenities
The place was close to what I wanted to be. The thing I did not like was the AC did not work for the time I stayed. They front staff said it was getting fixed that day. Well they barely fixed it. The air got just a slight cooler but not enough to keep up you cool. On top of that I saw 1 maybe there was more but 1 drug addict sitting outside by the front office all dazed out. And to top it all off on one of the night there was a swarm of cops outside my room. I guess there was something going on a few rooms down. Location was good but will stay at another place if I go again. And why no fridge on the room. And they did not even clean the rooms with new towels and stuff since I stayed there for 3 nights.
