This is a legacy motel with comfortable rooms and a very affordable price. I stayed here once, and I liked it enough to come back. Each room has a heater and a clean bathroom with a very satisfying shower. AC Transit buses stop nearby, and they're easy to use. Front desk staff is friendly and accommodating. Parking on site without extra charge.

I thought the place was easy to check in staff were kind. I did not like that there was no safety lock for inside the room to put a chain over the door. There was one deadbolt but staff could open it if needed. Something to keep in mind if you also bring small children and want a safety lock.

It is an older building but remodeled. Staff were accommodating and let us store our luggage when we arrived before check in and notified us when the room was ready. I loved the food options. Mediterranean Market and Franklin Market.
