This appeared to be owned and operated by a couple who were extremely friendly and accommodating. We arrived in the 1 am hour, and the doorbell went directly to the owner to come let us in. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and I liked that the sink in our room was not in the shower/toilet area so that kids could brush their teeth, etc while others used the bathroom. Perfect for a quick in-and-out stay.

Inexpensive but clean!

It's an older property, but the things that matter are updated and it was very clean overall. The one negative was the exterior lighting of the building stayed on all night and was extremely bright, and the curtains were incapable of keeping it out, so it leaked into the room a good bit.

Breakfast was not available, nicer than expected for the price paid. Small bathroom but clean. We arrived late and left early so only there to sleep. By a freeway so depending on which side of the building you are assigned it could be noisy
