Not a fan.

Parking lot was closed for paving, so I had to park out on the street in a residential neighborhood, didn’t feel very safe walking through there at night. TV was non-functional, very little water pressure, sink drains smelled horrible, the fan in the bathroom was so loud it sounded like an engine room in there. Only positive was that the girl that checked me in was nice.

I haven't stayed in a motel in a very long time. I actually booked this by MISTAKE. However, the room was clean and the facility was very quiet -- even though it is right on Whittier Boulevard. I would definitely stay here again.

Simple Accommodations

No frills motel style accommodations. The place was clean and very cheap by California standards. I just needed a place to sleep overnight and this was perfect. If street noise bothers you then this would be a difficult place to stay as it is quite loud.
