Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
this place is good enough. The only thing I can really mention as a drawback is that there weren't any lights by the bed. Also not any desk, but this is not the price point where you get an office in your room. Overall, you will enjoy your stay here. It's not that close to the Anaheim Convention Center, but it's a lot cheaper than the motels that are :D

They have bed bugs! I was attacked and have welts all over my body and im considering a lawsuit for pain and suffering and all the cleaning and fumigating i had to do. The motel didnt offer me another room, no refund and no help at all. I am astonished at the way i was treated and the fact that somone else is going to stay in that roomand have to go tthrough the same trauma. I should have put danger tape on the door when i left
