The room was clean. Furniture sparse, but in good condition. Bed was comfortable and the bedding clean. Heating and AC unit was adequate for the size of the room. Bathroom was worn, but clean, and included a new shower unit with hot water on demand. All and all a good road stop inn for a couple of nights stay.

Super helpful staff. Clean room and premises. Everything worked as it should have. This is a very reasonable older single story motel that is well kept up and managed very well without those ------- resort fees for nothing. Very reasonably priced in todays market. A lot like the 40's, through 60's motels found along Route 66 across the Southwest and Route 99 in the San Joaquin Valley. For the traveler who wants a good nights sleep in a clean room at a great price without all the fancy design, furniture, and crap - THIS PLACE IS GREAT!

Liked: Amenities
In a really convinient area surrounded by Starbucks, grocery store, etc. Air conditioning worked, easy parking, nearby road is a little loud, but couldn't hear other guests. Other than that, it was OK. I understand that it's a fairly inexpensive motel on the side of the freeway, but that doesn't exactly excuse it from adequate houskeeping and cleanliness, which could have been improved.

Great stay, fair price, renovated

It’s great when you can support an independent motel instead of the big chains. We enjoyed a clean comfortable shower and sleep in a comfortable very well kept little motel. The a/c was wonderful, cool, with a steady sound that never awakened me the way the ones at too many other hotels have on our cross country trip.

This motel is very nice. Its simple and works well. You have restaurants close by across the street along with a grocery store ...starbucks close and gas station. All within walking distance. Very convenient. I stayed for 2 nights. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. I would plan to stay there again. The downside is that the freeway noise is loud with the big trucks in the middle of the night. But theres nothing anyone can do about that. Its on the interstate 80 corridor. Nice little town. Thank you staff. It was nice for me MB

Small motel with only 12 rooms. Pleasant staff. Quiet. Some shopping across the street and a grocery store one block away. Small room, but good for the cost.
