    There is no breakfast available at this motel. The location was perfect for our needs. No breakfast is ok for the price. Coffee would be nice.

    Location and first desk clerk the remainder of the stay was an uphill battle. Couldn't talk to front desk clerk for the earbuds constantly in his ears.. laundry laundry lady didn't want to give me clean towels and accused me of stealing them because I sat the dirty ones outside Monday from taking a shower and setting them outside on my way to surgery.

    I liked that the property was recently renovated and it was clean. I didn't like that the smell of marijuana from the neighbor's room came through into our room. I also didn't like that there were people that popped fireworks in the parking lot very close to our vehicles. The beds are not comfortable if you have back issues but for 1 night stay it was fine.

    Was glad that they worked with having a service dog there. The beds were OK. The actual sheets/blankets used aren't going to be preferred for someone who holds that as being important to their sleep. Me, though, I was fine with it. We stayed at a different room only 3-4 months or and the room felt newer, or something. I'm not sure how to explain it.

    My main complaint was with cleanliness. I stayed for two nights and there was no cleaning service during my stay. There were small hairs around in the bathroom and there was even a poop stain on the wall by the toilet. The room was very nicely updated though, and spacious.

    The front desk staff was good about getting me a different room. The front desk staff are in a bullet-proof plexi cage; which signals it's not in a safe area! The rooms have been recently remodeled, but the weird blue 'mood' lights over the bed indicated what type of motel this was. Someone pounded on my door at 2am. I stayed 1 uncomfortable night (had reserved it for 4) and switched hotels. If you're looking for a place for a one-night or one-hour stand type of thing, this is it.

    The room was well maintained, although I chose a non-smoking room for obvious reasons I ended up getting a room that smelled like smoke. The shower and bedroom was nice, I’d recommend shower shoes as the shower wasn’t thoroughly cleaned but clean enough. Overall it was a relatively nice stay and I would come again :) The room does look like the pictures as well, so it’s still nice :)

    The room was good, loved the walk in rain shower. The location and property left a lot to be desired, very noisy. If you plan to get sleep it isn’t going to happen; the freeway noise and guest blaring loud music you get no sleep.

    I do recommend this property. However, It would be nice if they have your 4-5 pillows like the hotel next door.
