This place was scary. Broke down cars in the parking lot. Obviously people living there. It’s under going a renovation but there are no signs pointing to the temporary office. Felt like we were being watched to see what could be stolen from us. I am a retired cop and always travel with protection, I did not feel safe staying there. My son and I found a different place to stay.

The place is fatigued and a dump. The reviews are dishonest and do not represent reality. Trash was strewn about the property, the bathroom had a previous tenants shampoo bottle tops in the tub area indicating a lousy cleaning job. The window curtains were filled with holes. The list goes on. I definitely recommend staying somewhere else. Anywhere else. On that note they are beginning to remodel the front half of the motel, but tenants stay in the dumpy half.

Cons: The motel is under construction so I was put on the side next to the freeway. It was so loud it seemed like the door was open all night. People seem to live there on the ground floor. Very sketchy. Will not go back. Pros: Low price, take cash.

This hotel is largely being renovated. (Walls, floors, plumbing, electrical, being replaced.) They do not require a deposit. There is construction noise. I checked in at a construction trailer (the clerk was very nice.) I went to my room, in the back of the property, in the unrenovated building. There was a woman smoking on the steps right in front of my door. The tile floor was greasy. The furniture was sticky. I called the desk, and held the room phone away from my face, and checked out . She was nice, and refunded me. I stayed at the Cozy Inn, which was perfect. To the nice woman at the desk, I'm sorry for this bad review. You were the best part of my experience. (Thanks!)

Disgusting. Never again.

This hotel was disgusting. Property is fenced around dilapidated buildings, drug deal in the parking lot, mattresses outside, Office in a construction shack. List of people that they cant rent to out for everyone to see. Absolutely would never ever go back.

They were under a remodel so some services were not available. But the room was decent and the beds were not terrible. Last minute option this was better than what was original.

Worn down motel, no pool, ok room

Pulling up to this place, every part of my reptile brain was telling me to turn around. It looked like it might be getting renovated but most of it, including the pool, was closed. The side facing the freeway was the only part open. Not the cute family motel seen in the photos. I was imagining a fight breaking out in the parking lot or my car getting broken into, but I'm glad we stuck it out. The double queen room was clean and comfortable enough for the price we paid. The only noises we heard in the night was the freeway, which was really loud. The pillows were strange clumps of fabric that my wife and I couldn't shape into anything comfortable but the kids seemed to sleep ok.

Left 15 minutes after arriving

Pulled up to the motel to find the front completely fenced off and under construction, I wasn't made aware of this. I found the check-in station in a temporary portable on-site. I selected a non-smoking room, however the room reeked of cigarettes. There were older vehicles that looked like they were permanently parked and a lot of people walking in and out of rooms, it made me feel a little uneasy. There was sun shining in around all 4 sides of the door, and I could hear everything going on outside. Bedding had cigarette burns and toilet wasn't sturdy. This was the first time I've ever not felt safe at a motel and I left and stayed somewhere else. Low price point but still not worth it.

Towels were dirty, there was hair on them and in the shower. Curtains were all ripped up. front door lock was broke. Didn't feel safe. Most the hotel rooms looked like people lived there. Definitely would never recommend this to anyone.
