Staff were friendly and efficient. Parking in the lot was very convenient. The room was dirty. The bedspreads were not only stained but also had fresh smears of dirt on them. There was a lot of water damage: loose and warped floor boards, peeling baseboards and threshold between bathroom and bedroom. The floor had dirt and some greasy spots. It was uncomfortably dirty. I would not stay here again.

This is a very good location, and with parking! (near campus), the staff is nice and right there. It's a pretty good second rate motel. My main complaint is super strong smell of cleaners they use but I went over the floor with a towel and opened my window and it dissipated over time. Also, the AC/heat blows on your when you sleep.

DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER

*Poor communication from the office staff. *No security cameras. (RING CAMERA ON OFFICE DOOR) Non-working. *Rooms were partially cleaned. Floors badly stained, unmopped, not swept/dusted underneath the bed/beds. This is my experience from both rooms that I stayed in. I wiped everything down with clorox wipes. *I had to sleep on the "motels" parking lot due to the office staff not activating my card to the new room #104 after having checked out of #212. *No way to recieve assistance during nightime hours. * This place did nothing for my mental state. I explained during check-in that I was seeking solitude, peacefulness away from my family as I was grieving personal loss of my father and my daughter. Both recently deceased. Instead, someone near my room constantly argued loudly each day of my stay from sunrise to sunset. Listening to horrific profanity. No interventions from the hotel staff. I also witnesses someone driving a black Tesla back her vehicle into a customers vehicle and prepare to drive away until I spoke up to suggest leaving a note on the persons windshield. (You do not hit, back up, nor damage someones vehicle and drive away. How rude; inconsiderate. The best part of my stay was my daily walks to Traders Joe's-which was across the street. I was able to pirchase non-dairy ice-cream, fresh fruits, water. Some frozen meals since the rooms have microwaves and refrigerator. ATTENTION: BE PREPARED TO CLEAN REFRIGERATOR BEFORE USE. "OVERPRICED" UNCONCERNED.

STAY AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

The guest near my room argued loudly. Daily. Communicating with staff was horribly, not willing to resolve guest issues. The rooms were smaller than advertised, continually I would bumb into room furnishings. No space to setup iron board safely. There was no hand soap in the bathrooms hand soap dispenser, I had to request from housekeeper. The bathroom window was left open by housekeeper after she stated that she cleaned the inside of my room. Mind you, I am on the first floor. (Second room) my first room; the bathroom window lock is broken. (Room 212) did not feel safe. On June 25, 2025 after returning to my first floor room I was unable to access entry to my room. I had to sleep inside of my daughters car parked on the motels parking lot. (Not a Hotel.) Although I received a telephone call regarding room change and key activation the guest clerk did not acti activate my card for usage unknown to me until returning to room after having had been off of property from Tuesday morning 06:30a.m. ; 6/24/25-06/25/25; Wednesday morning at 01:55. I made repeated calls as well as repeated visits to the motels office up until 06:15 a.m. at which time I was able to connect in person to a live person as he entered the office. (Can be viewed on the Motels ring camera) There seemed to be no care/concern that I was unable to access my room at such a late hour. Seeking reimbursement of Wednesday 06/25/2025 cost of stay which I reported to the Motels checkin clerk at 06:15 this morning.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. But i must say the hotel is in terrible condition. Bathroom was dirty, the floor was so slippery, there was water damage all over the door frames and the cabinet where the fridge was. The bed sheet was stained, which let me to believe they dont change the bed after each guest, luckily i caught the cleaning service before they left an did change it out for me so i appreciated that. All in all i wouldn't stay there again for the price that i payed.
