This is one of those "You get what you pay for" situations. The place was inexpensive and met our needs. We were just looking for a place to sleep. It met those requirements.

This is our go-to place to stay whenever we’re in town. Check in is super easy, and the rooms are spacious and includes a fridge and microwave. They recently changed their policy for second vehicles is $10 but that makes sense because their parking is limited. For the location and room quality it’s definitely worth it!

It was a good room for the price. I liked that it was a non-smoking property, the room smelled fine. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was what it was; after all, I was looking for a cheap room. I would stay there again without hesitation.

We needed a cheap hotel for our recent trip to California and this fit the bill. The property is old. Furniture in rooms are from the 80s I suspect. We didn't have high expectations of this place to begin with so we got what we paid for. The guy working the registration window was super friendly and helpful, however. If you just need a place to sleep and rest your head, this place will do the trick. Gas station and Starbucks nearby!
