After notifying the motel of late arrival due to an Amtrak safety issue requiring Stockton police involvement, I was unable to provide a definitive time on arrival so was told reservation would be cancelled. Agent on phone rude & condescending. So booked elsewhere

The room was clean. Bedding was not all that great in terms of comfort. The big plus is that it is conveniently located near a BART station. Unfortunately there is a homeless encampment nearby.

Cash Deposit??

The room was fine. Kitchenette, fridge with working freezer, and microwave were great. The one surprise was that the required a cash deposit and didn’t give a receipt for the cash.

Extremely rude staff I was honestly astonished, kept trying to put me in a smoking room until I showed them i specifically requested non smoking, also required 100 cash deposit upfront. The room was digusting stains on every layer of the bedding and all over the floor as well as socks from someone previously there the bathroom was good though. I do not recommend.

This hotel required $100 CASH deposit. I had never heard of that before so I wasn’t caring $100 cash when I went to check in. I didn’t end up staying here, but the area around the hotel felt very unsafe and the hotel itself was very dark and dirty.
