No housekeeping for the duration of my stay. I guess I would have to request it. It’s okay though because I only would have requested clean towels.

The property needs a lot of work and cleaning. It's quite noisy and it is attached to a gas station and small store. The room was average and not very clean. However, the people that worked there were very nice and helpful.

Cheap and easy, nothing fancy but it was roomy and clean. Don't be shocked that it is behind and seemly part of the gas station - Even the lobby is in the gas station food mart. They advertise a continental breakfast but it is a few snacks and a piece of fruit in a paper bag you pick up in the morning. But, cheap and safe place to get some rest in the area.

Very disappointed. This Hotel is in a gas station. Debris everywhere. Gas station traffic all night. I didn’t feel safe. Pictures attached. I had to cancel second stay. Very disappointed ! They said breakfast included. It’s items in a bag you pick up at the gas station.

The staff were accommodating when we get there. The room is clean and spacious. Though its infront of the gasoline station and along the highway, it's very quiet once you are inside the room. For breakfast, i hope they add some more option. But our experience was great. Highly recommended. Khay from Oxnard July 4, 2025

Based off of the pictures in the listing for the hotel I wasn't expecting it to be at a gas station but I actually didn't mind it! The beds were comfy and clean, room and bathroom were also clean, hot water was instant and the to-go breakfast bags had a good variety. If I'm ever in town, I'll definitely be staying again!
