Maybe I'm old fashioned, but check in was odd. I had to speak to someone on a screen even though there was someone behind the desk. The room was basic - bed, bathroom, TV. Just what we needed.

Its a nice motel, quiet, clean, pet friendly of course. I used to live over in this area in some apartments behind the small shopping center next to it and I feel its pretty safe. They have cameras installed around the motel though for guests peace of mind. Its got restaurants And Jitter Bean right across the street super convenient.. warm place to stay for a night or 2. Alao the shower handle fell off while turning it one and they were very nice about it and offered a change of room immediately and offered it in the room right next door. Its a welcoming place.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was in total disrepair. The floors and state of the room was filthy. The shower had black mold and was not sanitary. The front desk person was not personable or engaging. There were continuous fireworks going off in the parking area around my room. I left this property to go find another clean and peaceful room.

It was very easy to get to and from the freeway. Close to a selection of places to eat or get groceries. Our second story, non-smoking room, looked newly remodeled. The AC worked perfectly. Everything was clean and fresh. The beds were very comfortable and there was hot water for showers. I would happily stay there again.
At first I did not realize that the aavgo machine was a second (remote) clerk, until the person on screen said, "I can help you here!" I went back later to take this photo. Lol!
Shower handle was a little hard to pull out to turn the water on, but the shower design was clever. It made the bathroom and shower feel roomier.

It was my first experience with a check in kiosk, it was a live person on the screen which wad cool and easily navigated. Found it strange that there was a person at the front desk behind it that didnt interact with you during the process. The property was very clean, room was fresh and confortable. I use motel 6 a lot when on the road, this was a nicer one.

It was simple for us. 2 adults and a baby. Of course it’sa motel. So surrounding area is whatever but has some gas stations and fast food. So that helped get is ready for our multi day trip to the redwood parks. It’s a good location depending on what you are doing. Plus eureka is right by. Checked in super late so check in was virtual and card didn’t work last day so had to get a new card. Virtual front desk. But it was easy. It was good got our trip. But now that I no know what to expect with the surrounding area. Might stay somewhere different. But was happy with what we needed for our trip.
