For a quick In-N-Out trip, you can’t beat the price. The outside was a little scary when we drove up, but when we walked in the cleanliness was subpar! The room did smell a little old and smoky. The amenities in the room were not the best… The pillows were practically nonexistent, the bed needed an extra blanket, the bed frankly was hard, and there wasn’t even hand soap in the bathroom to wash your hands with. All in all for a quick overnight stay, I would choose it again for the price!

You pay what you get, that’s all I can say. There’s AC, microwave, fridge, very minimal breakfast (toast, biscuits, sausages, jams, coffee), the bed is ok, not very good shower and the hair dryer is broken in room 101. None the less it’s convenient and affordable, ok for a short stay!
