A cute motel right off the highway. Don’t neglect the garden space in the parking lot, they did quite a good job. Almost considered staying again on my way back from the Redwoods up north, but plans took me a different route. Good motel

Nice garden but the room needs a remodel! No where to put your luggage and a broken down desk. Also, loud people around at night - pretty sure there's a homeless encampment next door

We walked in and basically walked out. We canceled our reservation within minutes of arriving. It reeked of cigarettes, the furniture was broken, the bed was like a hammock, there were stains in the carpet and cloth amenities, the bathroom was gross, you could hear the drunk ppl on either side clearly, and the key entry took multiple attempts to work. This place is a total dump. The check in staff was extremely rude. She put up a 5 min sign and was gone for nearly 15 min, and when I went looking for her, met me with rage about how I was grossly out of line for requesting help. Absolutely unsafe to stay here and I'm so glad we didn't.

The room was clean and spacious, clearly set up for someone in a wheelchair. Glad there were blackout curtains because the exterior lighting was too much and the lights from the office were visible from my room. The really upsetting part was that there was no hot water in the shower.
