Very small, i paid 275 for 2 nights and i feel like that shouldn’t have been more than 75-85$ a night. Lamp in bathroom has no cover, you can see the wires, not safe & i stayed there with my baby. Limited parking. Indian looking man in the front made my checking in horrible and complicated. Never staying here again.

Screwed out of $150

There was an open attic in the room. They refused to give me a refund because I washed my hands when I came into the room, before noticing the attic. I reserved their most expensive room at 6pm, arrived at 6:30pm, and left by 7pm. So they did not lose any business over me, and they had 4 other identical rooms vacant, and more cheaper rooms.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very disappointing stay – poor cleanliness and customer service I had a very unpleasant experience staying here. The entire property smelled strongly of curry everywhere you went — the hallways, office, and even inside the room. On top of that, the air conditioner looked like it was from the 1970s and barely worked, which made the room uncomfortable. Cleanliness was also a major issue. There was hair throughout the room — on the floors, in the towels, and in several areas that clearly had not been properly cleaned. The room also had a noticeable moldy smell. The customer service experience was equally frustrating. I called the front desk to ask if I could pay for one additional hour before checkout, but the fee they quoted did not match the hotel's own policy. It felt like I was being misled. They also refused to handle it over the phone and insisted I physically come to the desk, which made no sense given the situation. There was no attempt to be accommodating or helpful. Overall, the lack of cleanliness, unpleasant smells, outdated equipment, and poor customer service made this a very disappointing stay. I would not recommend this place

Stay Away! You can do much, much better.

Really Bad Place! My computer and phone were hacked within 1 hour of me leaving there. DO NOT STAY HERE! I wanted to leave leave the first day, owner said I had to stay 2 nights... ( I payed for 7 nights). Then as I packed my truck and waited for my refund receipt the police showed up. He lied and said I would not leave his property. The police could see I was upstanding citizen and there was no problem. Thank You Mountain View PD!..The wife is just as psycho. Stay Away! Room had a microwave, fridge, ac unit all original from the 70's. The counters clean but the floor was FILTHY! Really bad. I used there towels to mop the floor. Towels were super ruff and dirt stained. Shower curtain stained and dirty... No secondary door lock either and when I woke from the first night my door was unlocked! Do yourself a favor and read the other reviews too... I wish I did!

When I arrived the owner was very rude to me, saying that he only had a room with two beds and would I please ensure that I only used one of them! then the next night, when I had to go and get my room key re-set, his wife tried to make out that I had only paid for one night when I had paid for three. Very expensive for low quality accommodation.

So they tell me that they are going to give my room to someone else. They did, even though I paid for it services were not delivered.

Decent budget motel, noisy

Its a bare bones budget motel, so adjust your expectations. Its expensive given the area and the high demand for rooms. Room was clean, bed could use an extra blanket (it was minimal and a bit cool). Bathroom soap was impossible to open from a rather tough plastic bag. Rooms next to El Camino will have lots of noise from the traffic, which is constant, even at night.
