This motel is in a great location, but otherwise you get what you pay for - not the cleanest, pillows pretty uncomfortable, and very noisy if on the 1st level. Also be careful pulling in and out- there’s a lot of traffic on the main road and difficult to take a left out of there.

The bathroom was filthy: there were long hairs and dirt in the tub. The top comforter had a cigarette burn as well as a very large hole exposing the stuffing. The coffee pot was missing. The room smell was very unpleasant. We were there for a single night due to a work event, so we thankfully did not spend much time in the room. Though we are frequent travelers through the area, we would never ever stay there again.

Bed and pillows were comfortable and shower worked fine, so the most important things were good. However... HVAC made whining noise, so I couldn't use it. Chairs were stained. Soap dispenser leaked a puddle of soap onto the sink. Freezer was completely iced up. No Kleenex, only T.P. Lamp by bed had a dead switch (or burnt out light) and its A/C outlet was too loose to charge anything. Also, there was no one at the front desk in the morning, so there was no "checking out."

I showed up to check in at 1230am and no one was there. I called the hotel to try and check in and no one responded. The service was horrible. I requested a refund after not being able to check in and they declined my refund, what a scam! It’s widely known as the cheapest hotel around so I wasn’t expecting anything special but to not even acknowledge my request for a refund is seriously disappointing. I’m local here and highly suggest staying anywhere else if you can!

Lovely staff

It was very warm and muggy and we needed to open a window, but the screen was missing, only on our room. Bathroom window was stuck closed, due to dirt and bugs in the grooves. There was no hand soap at the bathroom sink so we used the shower soap. There was no way to walk around the bed as the foot of the bed corner was jammed up against the desk. The refrigerator took two hours to get cold. Staff was very nice and friendly and came to look at the refrigerator. She offered to give us a different room in the morning, but later on it started working. The floor was beautiful though!

The pictures combined with the name were misleading, especially after spending the previous 3 nights along the ocean or redwoods. Closest food was across the street, but trying to cross the street on foot was taking your life in your hands due to traffic. The room looked like it was “recently” renovated, but the bathroom was so small I had to stand in the bathtub to shut the door.
